New rabies vaccine shows promise in large thai trial
NCT ID NCT04478084
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tested a new rabies vaccine called VRVg-2 in 403 healthy volunteers in Thailand. The study compared two different vaccination schedules and also looked at combining the vaccine with rabies antibodies (immunoglobulins). The goal was to see if the new vaccine produces enough protective antibodies and is safe. Results are not yet available, but this could lead to a more modern rabies vaccine option.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Purified vero rabies vaccine (VRVg-2)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safer, equally effective alternative to current rabies vaccines, potentially improving access and reducing side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a completed Phase 3 trial, but results are not yet published. The vaccine may not work as well as existing ones, and side effects are possible. The study was done in healthy volunteers, not actual rabies exposures.
