Testing rabies booster shots 5 years after first vaccination
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial checks how well a rabies booster shot works in healthy adults who had rabies pre-exposure shots at least 5 years ago. It compares three different booster schedules to see which one best protects against rabies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You received a rabies pre-exposure vaccine at least 5 years ago using one of three specific schedules (2 doses in the arm muscle or 2 small skin doses given within 5 to 56 days).
- You are able to give written permission to be in the study.
- You have not had any rabies treatment (post-exposure shots) before.
- You are not pregnant or planning to get pregnant at the time of the booster shot.
- You have no known allergies to any part of the rabies vaccine.
- You have not taken medications that affect your immune system in the last 3 months.

This trial tests a rabies vaccine to see if it works well and is safe when given after a potential rabies exposure. It may help people who need protection after an animal bite.
This trial tests whether different batches of an experimental rabies vaccine work the same way. It is for healthy adults aged 18 to 45 who have not been exposed to rabies or received rabies treatment before.
This trial tests a new lab-made antibody to prevent rabies after exposure. It is for healthy volunteers who have not gotten a rabies vaccine or been exposed to rabies before.
This study tests two booster doses of an HIV vaccine to see if they are safe and boost the immune system. It is for healthy adults who already received three earlier doses of a related vaccine.
This trial tests if a rabies vaccine given as a small injection into the skin works as well as the standard shot into muscle. It may mean fewer side effects and use less vaccine.
This study tests how well a rabies vaccine works and how safe it is for people whose immune systems may be weaker, such as those with certain long-term illnesses, organ transplants, or age 60 and older. It compares them to healthy adults ages 18 to 59.
