Brief Summary

Rabies immune globulin is a product that is lifesaving to unvaccinated individuals exposed to the rabies virus. Rabies immune globulin is made from plasma from immune donors. Currently the only practical method to obtain this plasma is to immunize normal volunteer Source Plasma donors and collect their plasma while titers are adequate. The use of rabies vaccine for immunization of normal Source Plasma donors is currently limited to a level that, while protective for the individual, is unsuitable for production of rabies immune globulin. The objective of this study is to obtain efficacy and safety data regarding the rabies boostering program to demonstrate that:

  1. 1.Rabies immune plasma production can be substantially increased by giving booster doses to previously immunized donors whose titers are below 10.0 IU/mL.
  2. 2.It is safe for normal Source Plasma donors to receive booster doses of rabies vaccine on a regular basis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Geometric mean titer (GMT) for rabies plasma donations received after booster injections

    30-day intervals for the duration of the study (up to 2 years)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Adverse Event Reaction Rate

    30-35 days after each injection

Study Arms (2)

RabAvert

Biological: Rabies Vaccine (RabAvert)

Imovax

Biological: Rabies Vaccine (Imovax)

Interventions

The initial booster immunization is given on Day 1; subsequent booster immunizations will be administered if the donor's titers fall below 10 IU/mL. A maximum of 4 booster immunizations may be administered over the 2 year study period.

Source Plasma Donors. Donors must meet FDA and CSL Plasma requirements to be Source Plasma Donors. Donors had previously participated in CSL's rabies vaccine immunization program.

You may qualify if:

  • Meet requirements for Source Plasma donors
  • Completed initial series of rabies antibody injections with no serious adverse events for at least 90 days prior to enrollment
  • Compliance with program requirements
  • Signed informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Failure to meet requirements to be Source Plasma donor
