Study Summary

This is a Phase IV, prospective, open-label, multicentre study to evaluate the safety of palivizumab IM injection for the prevention of severe LRTD in Indian infants and children who are at high-risk of RSV disease. All enrolled participants will receive palivizumab 15 mg/kg IM injection once a month for up to 5 injections during the study. Children who undergo cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass during the study should receive an additional dose of study intervention immediately after surgery, when medically stable for IM injection as determined by the physician. Prior to each study intervention administration, all participants will undergo safety assessments. A follow-up visit will be performed telephonically with the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of all participants 30 days after their last injection of palivizumab.

  5. Written informed consent obtained from the participant's parent(s)/legal guardianand the participant's parent(s)/legal guardian is able to understand and comply withthe requirements of the protocol including follow-up visits as judged by theinvestigator.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  3. Anticipated cardiac surgery within 2 weeks after enrolment.

  4. Anticipated survival of < 6 months after enrolment in the trial.

  5. Active LRTD, including RSV infection at the time of enrolment and/or studyintervention administration.

  9. Known allergy, including to immunoglobulin products, or history of allergicreaction.

  10. Receipt of palivizumab or other RSV monoclonal antibodies or any RSV vaccine,including maternal RSV vaccination.

  11. Receipt of any monoclonal or polyclonal antibody (for example, hepatitis B immuneglobulin, intravenous immunoglobulin) or anticipated use during the study.

  12. Concurrent enrolment in another interventional study.

  13. Children of employees of the sponsor, clinical study site, or any other individualsinvolved with the conduct of the study, or immediate family members of suchindividuals.

  14. Judgment by the investigator that the participant should not participate in thestudy if the participant or the participant's parent/legal guardian is unlikely tocomply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements.
