Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Primary Objective:

To describe the immune response induced by VRVg-2 and Verorab vaccines at D14 and D35 when co-administered with Human Rabies Immunoglobulins (HRIG) at D0, according to the Zagreb (2-1-1) IM regimen in healthy adult subjects.

Secondary Objective:

Immunogenicity To describe the immune response induced by VRVg-2 and Verorab vaccines at D90 when co-administered with HRIG at D0, according to the Zagreb (2-1-1) IM regimen in healthy adult subjects.

Safety To describe the safety profile of VRVg-2 and Verorab vaccines when co administered with HRIG at D0, after each vaccination.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The duration of each subject's participation in the study will be approximately 7 months (21 day-vaccination period followed by 6 months safety follow-up period).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Aged ≥ 18 years on the day of inclusion
* Able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all study procedures
* Body Mass Index (BMI): 18.5 kg/m2 ≤ BMI ≤ 30 kg/m2s

Exclusion Criteria

* Subject is pregnant, or lactating, or of childbearing potential and not using an effective method of contraception or abstinence from at least 4 weeks prior to the first vaccination and 1 month after each vaccination. To be considered of non-childbearing potential, a female must be pre-menarche or post-menopausal for at least 1 year, or surgically sterile.
* Participation at the time of study enrollment or, planned participation during the present study period in another clinical study investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure
* Receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks (28 days) preceding the first study vaccination or planned receipt of any vaccine prior to Visit 7 (D90)
* Previous vaccination against rabies (in pre- or post-exposure regimen) with either the study vaccines or another vaccine
* Bite by, or exposure to a potentially rabid animal in the previous 6 months without post-exposure prophylaxis
* Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months
* Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months)
* At high risk for rabies exposure
* Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the study/control vaccine components or to human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG), or history of a life-threatening reaction to the vaccines used in the study or to a vaccine containing any of the same substances
* Self-reported thrombocytopenia, contraindicating intramuscular (IM) vaccination
* Bleeding disorder, or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, contraindicating IM vaccination
* Deprived of freedom by an administrative or court order, or in an emergency setting, or hospitalized involuntarily
* Current alcohol or substance abuse that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the study conduct or completion
* Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with study conduct or completion
* Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to Investigator judgment) on the day of vaccination or febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0 C). A prospective subject should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided
* Personal history of Guillain-Barré syndrome
* Identified as an Investigator or employee of the Investigator or study center with direct involvement in the proposed study, or identified as an immediate family member (ie, parent, spouse, natural or adopted child) of the Investigator or employee with direct involvement in the proposed study
* Receipt of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine up to 2 months prior to the study or through to study until Visit 7
