Association between tick-bite history and safety of gelatin-containing vaccines: Analysis of a large database of the United States. (PubMed, Ticks Tick Borne Dis) - "Vaccines were classified into two categories: (1) gelatin-containing vaccines (live intranasal influenza [FluMist], varicella, measles/mumps/rubella [MMR], oral typhoid, rabies [RabAvert], and yellow fever vaccines [YF-VAX]) and (2) gelatin-free vaccines...While tick bites are associated with AGS, a history of tick bites is not a contraindication for most gelatin-containing vaccines, including MMR, oral typhoid, rabies, and yellow fever vaccines. Further investigations are warranted to evaluate the safety of intranasal influenza and varicella vaccines in this population."

Burden of human rabies disease: its potential prevention by means of Rabipur® vaccine. (PubMed, J Prev Med Hyg) - "In rabies-free countries, PrEP is indicated for individuals who face occupational and/or travel-related exposure to the rabies virus in specific settings or over an extended period. Wider use of human rabies vaccination for PrEP and PEP in conjunction with programs to eradicate rabies from animal populations is the challenging goal in order to reduce the burden of disease and achieve zero rabies."

A Non-Inferiority Trial Comparing Two Vaccines (Rabix-vc vs. Rabipur) for Rabies among Adults in Dhaka, Bangladesh (ASTMH 2024) - "Therefore, this clinical trial was determined to be sufficient to confirm the immunogenicity and safety of Rabix-vc vaccine for Rabies virus infection. These results suggest that locally manufactured Rabix-vc vaccine is non-inferior to the well-known licensed Rabipur vaccine."

Safety and immunogenicity of a ChAd155-vectored rabies vaccine compared with inactivated, purified chick embryo cell rabies vaccine in healthy adults. (PubMed, Vaccine) - "In this phase 1 clinical trial, a novel rabies vaccine using a simian adenovirus vector was safe and tolerable, but generated lower, less durable rabies VNA titers than a standard inactivated rabies virus vaccine, which may be due to preexisting, anti-vector immunity."

Single and Low Dose Self-Replicating RNA Vaccine Provides Effective Immune Protection Against Rabies in Healthy Volunteers (ASGCT 2024) - P1 | "RBI-4000 was evaluated in a Phase I clinical trial (NCT06048770).Healthy adults, age 18-45 and seronegative for rabies antibodies were recruited at two clinical sites in the U.S. Sequential cohorts (n=18 subjects) were dosed IM with 0.1, 1, or 10 micrograms (mcg) of RBI-4000 in a 2-dose prime-boost schedule or prime only for the highest dose...The favorable safety profile combined with strong immunogenicity demonstrates an orders of magnitude advance in the therapeutic window of efficacy: tolerability over traditional mRNA vaccines. The increased therapeutic window enables broader applications of our platform to more complex infectious disease targets, oncology applications, and protein replacement therapeutics as well as being better able to address acute pandemic manufacturing requirements."

Unmodified rabies mRNA vaccine elicits high cross-neutralizing antibody titers and diverse B cell memory responses. (PubMed, Nat Commun) - "The mRNA vaccine also generates higher RABV-G binding and neutralizing antibody titers than Rabipur, while the degree of somatic hypermutation and clonal diversity of the response are similar for the two vaccines. The higher overall antibody titers induced by the mRNA vaccine translates into improved cross-neutralization of related lyssavirus strains, suggesting that this platform has potential for the development of a broadly protective vaccine against these viruses."

Immunogenicity and one-year boostability of a 3-dose intramuscular rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis schedule in adults receiving immunosuppressive monotherapy: a prospective single-Centre clinical trial. (PubMed, J Travel Med) - "In patients using immunosuppressive monotherapy, a 3-dose rabies PrEP schedule followed by a 2-dose PEP schedule is immunogenic, with all patients seroconverting at some point in the study. Although boostability 7 days after PEP was not 100%, nobody would wrongly be denied RIG when only administered to those who responded early to PrEP, while reducing administration of RIG by 73%."
