Abstract

To characterize nirsevimab in the prevention of RSV, children from the Phase 3 MELODY trial were followed through their second RSV season. No increase in medically attended RSV lower respiratory tract infections or evidence of antibody-dependent enhancement of infection or disease severity was found for nirsevimab vs placebo recipients. Clinical Trial Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03979313, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03979313.
