PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: On Day 0 and Day 14

Population: Per Protocol Set-All subjects in the FAS (Full analysis set) population who:correctly receive the vaccine, provide evaluable serum sample at day 14, and have no major protocol violation as defined prior to analysis

Immunogenicity was measured as the geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) of rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) titer , evaluated using the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test, before vaccination and on study day 14 as per Zagreb (2-1-1) and Essen (1-1-1-1-1) postexposure schedule

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: All reported SAEs and medically attended AEs or AEs that resulted in the premature withdrawal of subjects were collected up to 42 days after first vaccination. Adverse events were collected throughout the study period

Population: Safety population- All subjects in the Exposed population who provide post vaccination safety data and as vaccinated (as treated)

Adverse events (AEs) were collected for 7 days following administration of each study vaccination or until time of next vaccination (whichever occurred sooner). All reported SAEs and medically attended AEs or AEs that resulted in the premature withdrawal of subjects during the study were collected throughout the study period and all AEs were unsolicited.
