It does not establish any rights for any person and is not 9 binding on FDA or the public.

To discuss an alternative approach, contact the FDA staff responsible 11 for this guidance as listed on the title page. 12 13 14 15 I. INTRODUCTION 16 17 The purpose of this guidance is to help sponsors in the development of anti-rabies virus 18 monoclonal antibody (mAb) cocktails as an alternative to anti-rabies virus immunoglobulin 19 (RIG) as the passive immunization component of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for the 20 prevention of rabies when given immediately after contact with a rabid or possibly rabid animal. 21 This draft guidance is intended to serve as a focus for continued discussions among the Division 22 of Antivirals, sponsors, the academic community, and the public.2 This guidance does not 23 address the development of rabies vaccines, products to treat rabies, or mAbs for other 24 indications. The recommendations in this guidance relate to studies to be submitted in support of 25 a biologics license application (BLA) submission under section 351 of the Public Health Service 26 Act (42 U.S.C. § 262) and implementing regulations at 21 CFR part 601. 27 28 This guidance does not address general issues of statistical analysis or clinical trial design. 29 Those topics are addressed in the ICH guidances for industry E9 Statistical Principles for 30 Clinical Trials (September 1998), E9(R1) Statistical Principles for Clinical Trials: Addendum: 31 Estimands and Sensitivity Analysis in Clinical Trials (May 2021), and E10 Choice of Control 32 Group and Related Issues in Clinical Trials (May 2001), respectively.3 33 34 The contents of this document do not have the force and effect of law and are not meant to bind 35 the public in any way, unless specifically incorporated into a contract. This document is intended 36 only to provide clarity to the public regarding existing requirements under the law. FDA 37 guidance documents, including this guidance, should be viewed only as recommendations, unless 1 This guidance has been prepared by the Office of New Drugs, Office of Infectious Diseases, Division of Antivirals in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the Food and Drug Administration. 2 FDA encourages sponsors to contact the division to discuss specific issues that arise during the development of ra bies mAb cocktails. 3 We update guidances periodically.

BACKGROUND 42 43 Rabies has an almost 100% case fatality rate after clinical symptoms develop and there is no 44 proven treatment. However, timely administration of rabies PEP is nearly 100% effective in 45 preventing clinical rabies (WHO 2018). Globally, approximately 20 million people per year 46 receive PEP after potential rabies virus exposure (WHO 2013), including approximately 55,000 47 people in the United States (Pieracci et al. 2019). Despite available prophylaxis, approximately 48 59,000 people die from rabies worldwide each year (Hampson et al. 2015, WHO 2018), usually 49 either because PEP was not administered or because PEP was administered

  • Talking to Strangers: the Use of a Cameraman in the Office and What
    Running Head: TALKING TO STRANGERS 1 Talking to Strangers The Use of a Cameraman in The Office and What It Reveals about Communication Sarah Stockslager A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Fall 2010 TALKING TO STRANGERS 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Lynnda S. Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.

  • The Pinking of Drinking: Understanding Women's Alcohol
    The Pinking of Drinking: Understanding Women’s Alcohol Use in Emerging Adulthood by Julia Belenzon Hussman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Julia Belenzon Hussman 2018 The Pinking of Drinking: Understanding Women’s Alcohol Use in Emerging Adulthood Julia Belenzon Hussman Doctor of Philosophy Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The current study applies a sociocultural lens to understanding emerging adult women’s alcohol use and related problems in light of the recent gender convergence in rates of alcohol use. Grounded in the developmental framework of emerging adulthood, which typically characterizes those between the ages of 18-25 years old, this research aimed to establish a more comprehensive model of young women’s drinking through addressing several gaps in the current literature and focusing on both risk and protective factors. A sample of predominantly White, heterosexual emerging adult women (N = 230) participated in an online study that assessed drinking behaviours and motives, domains of socialized conventional femininity and resistance of such scripts, and efforts to mitigate risky drinking behaviours. Greater endorsement of conformity to ideal constructions of femininity dictating appearance preoccupation (striving to attain a thin body, augmenting one’s appearance, and relating negatively to one’s body through objectification) was associated with coping motives, and in turn, risky drinking (binge drinking, alcohol problems), whereas body objectification was associated with conformity motives, and in turn, alcohol problems.

  • History of the Gay Rights Movement in America
    History of the Gay Rights Movement in America Pre-Stonewall Beginning in colonial times there were prohibitions of sodomy derived from the English criminal laws passed in the first instance by the Reformation Parliament of 1533. The English prohibition was understood to include relations between men and women as well as relations between men and men. As Europeans settled in North America, they encountered Native American cultures which had different ideas about sexuality and gender. The accounts of French, Spanish and British travelers about Native American customs are full of references to such cultural differences, such as the acceptance among some groups of same-sex sexual activity and cross-dressing. Reactions to these differences ranged from amused to violent, as Europeans confronted cultures that did not follow what Europeans had always considered to be "natural" laws. European colonial governments sought to control the sexual behavior of the people within their settlements. The British, French, and Spanish all passed laws regarding sex outside of marriage and "sodomy" - a range of same-sex sexual activities. In early British colonies, as under English law, sodomy was a capital crime (punishable by death). One of the earliest recorded convictions for sodomy in the colonies was that of Richard Cornish, a sea captain executed in 1624 in Virginia for alleged homosexual acts with a servant. Despite the severity of the laws, however, we know of only a few instances of executions in sodomy cases during the colonial period. People were more likely to be tried for the lesser offense of "lewd behavior," which did not incur the death penalty.
