Brief Summary  
This study is a randomized, Open labeled assessor blind, Phase-III, parallel design comparative clinical trial. Objective of study is to assess safety and immunogenicity of Rabies G protein Vaccine (investigational vaccine) 10 µg at Day 0, 3 versus marketed Rabipur vaccine (comparator vaccine) 2.5 IU/ml, at Days 0, 3, 7, 14 & 28 to be administered as a simulated post-exposure (PEP) immunization.

The sero-negative volunteers at screening (by ELISA method) will be randomized in a ratio of 2:1 to receive either test or comparator vaccine, respectively. Vaccination will be done in the deltoid muscle.On vaccination day, volunteers will remain at the hospital for a period of at least 6 hours for observation and assessment of local injection site reactions and the occurrence of any adverse events (AEs).

The primary outcome measures will be Subjects with seroprotection at 14 days post 1st dose of study vaccine & the secondary outcomes will be Subjects with seroprotection at day 42 post 1st dose of study vaccine and Safety by monitoring subjects with adverse events [Time frame: 0-180 days]

Window period of ±2 days will be allowed for day 14 and day 42. An exploratory analysis will be done to compare seroprotection rate at day 90 & 180.  Rabies Virus Neutralizing Antibody (RVNA) titers will be analyzed by rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT) for Immunogenicity results.
Final Clinical Study Report will include data of safety & immunogenicity up to day 180 & will be submitted to DCGI for market authorization. Volunteer will be considered to have completed the study if they are
followed through 180 days ±7 days after first vaccination. Additionally on day 365±14 post first vaccination, one additional blood sample will be obtained for immunogenicity analysis. Separate supplementary report will be prepared for safety & immunogenicity data up to day 365.
