PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 14

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Days 3, 5, 7 and 14

Population: Secondary PK population (subjects who receive the full dose of BPL HRIG or comparator HRIG and all 5 doses of active rabies vaccine and for whom all required PK samples are taken).

Comparison of the geometric mean titers (GMTs) for antirabies antibody titer after administration of BPL HRIG and vaccine versus comparator HRIG and vaccine. The median peak RVNA titer occurred at Day 14, which is reflected in the analysis. The RVNA titer to peak geometric mean is analyzed using a repeated measures analysis. The inferential test compares RVNA values between BPL HRIG and HyperRab in a single analysis across all visits at or below the visit at which peak titer is observed. The geometric mean values presented represent a mean across all visits from baseline through and including Day 14.
