BEYFORTUS™ (Nirsevimab) Effectiveness Against Medically-Attended RSV Events in Infants
Investigating the Effectiveness of an Investigational Medication for RSV
Study Overview
The primary objectives of the study are: To estimate the effectiveness of nirsevimab against polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed RSV (1) lower respiratory tract (LRTD) and (2) related medical encounters.
the secondary objectives are:
- To estimate the effectiveness of nirsevimab against medical encounters with a respiratory related diagnosis.
- To estimate the effectiveness of nirsevimab against medical encounters with an LRTD diagnosis.
- To estimate the impact of nirsevimab on PCR-confirmed RSV.
- To estimate the impact of nirsevimab on medical encounters with an otitis media diagnosis.
- To estimate the impact of nirsevimab on antibiotic prescription.

Note: The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a potential participation in a clinical trial.
This study investigates the effectiveness of an investigational medication against confirmed cases of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in the lower respiratory tract. RSV is a virus that can cause infections in the lungs and respiratory tract. The study also looks at related medical encounters, which means doctor's visits or hospital stays related to RSV.
Participants will receive either the investigational medication or a placebo, which is an inactive substance that looks like the investigational medicine but does not contain any medicine. Researchers will compare the outcomes to see how well the investigational medication works against RSV and other related health issues.
- Who can participate: Infants born on or after April 1, 2023, who are Kaiser Permanente Northern California members and eligible to receive the investigational medication can participate. Infants entering their first RSV season are considered.
- Study details: Participants will receive either the investigational medication or a placebo. Researchers will monitor the infants for RSV infections and other health issues to evaluate the medication's effectiveness.
