NCT ID NCT05382650
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to check the safety of a rabies immune globulin shot (HyperRAB) in children who were treated after an animal bite. It included 35 kids aged 17 and under across several emergency rooms. The study was stopped early, so results are limited, but the goal was to see if the shot caused any side effects within a few days to a month.
