Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate the presence of a rapid and adequate anamnestic antibody response against rabies virus vaccine five years after primary vaccination with a single intramuscular dose (1.0 mL) of rabies vaccine. The rate of increase in geometric mean concentrations of RVNA observed at day 8 after a standard 2-dose PEP vaccination schedule should be non-inferior to that of the reference group who received primary vaccination with 2-dose PrEP. ;Secondary Objective: 1. To describe the kinetics of rabies virus neutralizing antibody levels in healthy young adults, who received single-visit single-dose rabies PrEP or two-visit PrEP, during a five-year follow-up. 2. To describe the kinetics of rabies-specific memory B-cells in healthy young adults, who received single-visit single-dose rabies PrEP or two-visit PrEP, during a five-year follow-up. ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the rate of increase of geometric mean concentrations (GMC) of rabies neutralizing antibodies between day 1 and day 8 after revaccination.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 5 years after pre-exposure immunization.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Percentage of subjects with RVNA titer >0.5 IU/mL at D1, D57 or D64, Y1, Y2 and Y5 after primary vaccination. Percentage of subjects with RVNA titers>0.5 IU/mL at D1, D8 and D15, after the simulated post-exposure vaccination. Percentage of subjects with RVNA titers>3 IU/mL, and percentage of subjects with RVNA titers >5 IU/mL at day 8 after simulated PEP. GMCs at D1, D57 or D64, Y1, Y2 and Y5 after primary vaccination, and at D1, D8 and D15 after the simulated post-exposure vaccination. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Percentage of subjects with RVNA titer >0.5 IU/mL at D1, D57 or D64, Y1, Y2 and Y5 after primary vaccination. Percentage of subjects with RVNA titers>0.5 IU/mL at D1, D8 and D15, after the simulated post-exposure vaccination. Percentage of subjects with RVNA titers>3 IU/mL, and percentage of subjects with RVNA titers >5 IU/mL at day 8 after simulated PEP. GMCs at D1, D57 or D64, Y1, Y2 and Y5 after primary vaccination, and at D1, D8 and D15 after the simulated post-exposure vaccination. Some timepoints contain a margin in which it is acceptable that the study visit takes place. For D57/D64, this margin is -2 days and +7 days. For year 1, year 2 and year 5, this margin is -7 days and +7 days.
