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

July 22, 2014 updated by: Grifols Therapeutics LLC

An Open-label, Single-arm Study to Evaluate the Safety and Antibody Titers Specific to the Rabies Virus in Healthy Subjects After Receiving a Single Dose of Intramuscularly Administered Rabies Immune Globulin (Human)

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.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • In good health in the judgment of the Investigator as determined by medical history, physical examination, and screening laboratory assessments.
  • Female of childbearing potential must have a negative result on the screening serum pregnancy test and must agree to practice contraception by a method of proven reliability (includes abstinence) for the duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or lactating females.
  • Clinical evidence of any significant acute or chronic disease that may interfere with successful completion of the trial.
  • Clinically significant history of the following: cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, serious respiratory disease including bronchitis or asthma, endocrine disorder, liver disease, glaucoma, gastrointestinal disease, disorder of the reticuloendothelial system, or neurologic illness.
  • History of angioedema or nephrotic syndrome.
  • Non-controlled arterial hypertension.
  • Anemia at screening.
  • Significant proteinuria (> 1 + on urine dipstick) and/or has a history of acute renal failure and/or severe renal impairment or a blood urea nitrogen or creatinine more than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal at screening and/or currently receiving dialysis.
  • Elevated liver enzymes (aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransferase) and Gamma-glutamyl Transferase) equal to or greater than 1.5 times the upper limit at screening.
  • Previously received the rabies vaccine and/or rabies immune globulin.
  • Received infusion of a blood/plasma product or fraction within the past 12 months, including any type of immune globulin.
  • Known adverse reaction to administration of any immune globulin or other blood/plasma products.
  • Experienced anaphylactic shock with the administration of blood/plasma products.
  • Known medical history of selective immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency.
  • Received any corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or immunomodulators within 6 weeks prior to screening.
  • Expects to receive oral or topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, antihypertensives, and/or antihistamines 24 hours before or after investigational product administration during the Baseline/Treatment, Study Day 0 visit.
  • Currently receiving any anti-viral treatment.
  • Screening laboratory results indicative of an acute or chronic infection with hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or parvovirus B19 (B19V).
  • Participated in another clinical trial within 30 days prior to screening (imaging studies without investigative treatments are permitted) or has received any investigational products within the previous 3 months.
  • Not willing to postpone receiving any live virus vaccines until 3 months after receiving investigational product.
  • History of a psychiatric illness requiring hospitalization.
  • Known substance or prescription drug abuse in the past 12 months.
  • Any active medical illness that the Investigator may consider a potential confounding condition that would interfere with the study visits and/or procedures.
