Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

4-sites, 1-week without HRIG

PCEC rabies vaccine, administered ID according to the "4-sites, 1-week" regimen

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Rabies vaccine

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

12 doses of the PCEC rabies vaccine, administered ID (0.1mL for each injection) according to the "4-sites, 1-week" regimen (i.e. 4 doses of vaccine; in both deltoids and anterolateral thigh areas, administered on days 1, 4, and 8).

4-sites, 1-week with HRIG

PCEC rabies vaccine, administered ID to adults, according to the "4-sites, 1-week" regimen plus HRIG

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Rabies vaccines + Rabies immunoglobulins

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

12 doses of the PCEC rabies vaccine, administered ID (0.1mL for each injection) to adults only, according to the "4-sites, 1-week" regimen (i.e. 4 doses of vaccine; in both deltoids and anterolateral thigh areas, administered on days 1, 4, and 8). HRIG will be administered on day 1 (before the first dose of the vaccine) in a dose of 20 IU/kg body weight intramuscularly into the gluteal muscle.

2-sites, TRC without HRIG

PCEC rabies vaccine, administered ID according to the "2-sites, TRC" regimen

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Rabies vaccine

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

8 doses of the PCEC rabies vaccine, administered ID (0.1ml for each injection) according to the "2-sites, TRC", updated Thai Red Cross regimen (i.e. 2 doses of vaccine; in both deltoids, administered on days 1, 4, 8, and 29).

2-sites, TRC with HRIG

PCEC rabies vaccine, administered ID to adults , according to the "2-sites, TRC" regimen plus HRIG

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Rabies vaccines + Rabies immunoglobulins

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

8 doses of the PCEC rabies vaccine, administered ID (0.1ml for each injection) to adults only, according to the "2-sites, TRC", updated Thai Red Cross regimen (i.e. 2 doses of vaccine; in both deltoids, administered on days 1, 4, 8, and 29). HRIG will be administered on day 1 (before the first dose of the vaccine) in a dose of 20 IU/kg body weight intramuscularly into the gluteal muscle.
