New antibody cocktail aims to stop rabies after multiple dog bites

NCT ID NCT07624461

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a new antibody injection, called zamerovimab and mazorelvimab, combined with the standard rabies vaccine, can prevent rabies in people who have been severely bitten by a dog. The trial follows 80 adults in China for up to one year to see if they stay rabies-free. The goal is to improve protection after high-risk exposures.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

zamerovimab and mazorelvimab injection (a human rabies antibody cocktail) plus rabies vaccine

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a more effective way to prevent rabies after severe dog bites, potentially saving lives in areas where rabies is common.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early real-world study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment might not prevent rabies in all cases, and side effects are possible.
