An Open-label, Single-Arm Study to Evaluate the Safety and Rabies Virus Antibody Titers of Intramuscularly Administered Rabies Immune Globulin (Human)

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Rabies

In brief

This is a single-arm, open-label study of Rabies Immune Globulin (Human), Caprylate/Chromatography Purified (RIG-C), in approximately 12 healthy subjects. The purpose of this study is to characterize the rabies virus-specific antibody titer after a single intramuscular injection of 20 IU/kg RIG-C and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RIG-C.
