Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of RBI-4000 administered at various dose levels via intramuscular injection and to determine the lowest dose of RBI-4000 necessary to elicit the rabies virus neutralizing antibody titer of equal or greater than (>=) 0.5 international unit per milliliter (IU/mL).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Frequency of any Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Day 1 up to 18 months]

   TEAEs and SAEs measured per the Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials (FDA 2007).

2. Immunogenicity of RBI-4000 Measured by Neutralizing Antibody Titers [Day 1 up to 18 months]

   Measured by neutralizing antibody titers >=0.5 IU/mL.

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. Titer level of Rabies Virus Neutralizing Antibody [Day 1 and up to 18 months]

2. Durability of RBI-4000 Against Rabies Assessed by T-cell Levels [Day 1 and up to 18 months]

   Durability of RBI-4000 against rabies assessed by quantifying cytokine-producing T cells by ELISpot and flow cytometry.

3. Rate of RBI-4000 Decay Over Time [Day 1 and up to 18 months]

4. Length of Time Above the Recognized Antibody Correlate of Protection Value [Day 1 and up to 18 months]

5. Lowest Dose of RBI-4000 that Provides Durable (greater than [>] 6 months) Coverage Above the Correlate of Protection [Day 1 and up to 18 months]
