Study of a Single Intramuscular Dose of Nirsevimab in the Prevention of Hospitalizations Due to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection in Healthy Term and Preterm Infants During the First Year of Life

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-02-28
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of a single intramuscular (IM) dose of nirsevimab, compared to no intervention, for the prevention of hospitalizations due to lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) caused by confirmed RSV infection (henceforth referred to as RSV LRTI hospitalizations) in all infants under 12 months of age who are not eligible to receive palivizumab.

The visit frequency will be 1 in-person dosing/randomization visit, with monthly safety follow-up electronic contacts through the first 6 months post dosing/randomization. The study will also include a 12-month (Day 366) final follow-up telephone call.

The study duration will be 12 months post-dosing/randomization.

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants are not eligible for the study if any of the following criteria are met:

• Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months)

• Active confirmed RSV infection at the time of dosing/randomization

• Active LRTI at the time of dosing/randomization

• Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the study intervention components, or history of a life-threatening reaction to the study intervention used in the study or to a product containing any of the same substances

• Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to investigator judgment) or febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0°C [≥ 100.4°F]) on the day of study intervention administration. A prospective participant should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided

• Mother of the infant participant was administered an RSV vaccine during her pregnancy with the infant participant

• Receipt of any monoclonal antibody by the infant participant

• Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months by the infant participant
