Brief Summary

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

Rabies is fatal disease but preventable with rabies vaccines and immunoglobulins, conventionally involves intramuscular (IM) administration of the vaccine. However, switching the intradermal (ID) route offers potential advantages in dosing, time and cost without compromising efficacy and safety. Therefore, this study aims to compare the safety and immunogenicity of a short-term three-doses intradermal regimen (3D-ID) with a conventional five-doses intramuscular regimen (5D-IM) of the purified Vero cell rabies vaccine (PVRV), administered via both intramuscular (IM) and intradermal (ID) routes as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).

Detailed Description

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

Rabies vaccines can be used ID for PEP, according to a WHO Expert Committee recommendation. The administration of short-term PEP through ID (3-doses) offers a safe, immunogenic, dose-sparing, and cost-effective alternative to the conventional protocol (IM, 5-dose regimen) while reducing the volume by up to 60 to 80% and vaccination schedules by 3 weeks. This strategy has the potential to reduce the overall requirement and cost of such vaccines, along with minimizing the burden on healthcare professionals and facilities. Furthermore, this strategy is more likely to improve vaccination compliance compared to conventional protocol, and will certainly improve treatment outcomes.
