New rabies vaccine trial aims for safer shots

NCT ID NCT07338786

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

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing the safety of a freeze-dried human rabies vaccine in 80 healthy people aged 10 to 60. Participants receive the vaccine in different schedules, and researchers monitor for side effects for 30 days after the last dose. The goal is to see if the vaccine is safe enough to move into larger studies.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Lyophilized human rabies vaccine (human diploid cell)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could support a safer and more flexible rabies vaccination schedule for both adults and adolescents.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 safety trial with only 80 participants, so it cannot prove the vaccine prevents rabies. Side effects may still emerge.
