Pregnancy vaccine shields babies from RSV? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT06813872
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well the ABRYSVO vaccine, given to pregnant women, protects their babies from RSV, a leading cause of severe lung infections in infants. Researchers will analyze medical records of infants up to 6 months old in western Pennsylvania over several RSV seasons. No new participants are enrolled; the study uses existing data to measure vaccine effectiveness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ABRYSVO (RSV vaccine given during pregnancy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that vaccinating pregnant women with ABRYSVO effectively prevents severe RSV in newborns, supporting wider vaccine use.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study in one region, so results may not apply everywhere. Real-world effectiveness can vary, and the study does not test new treatments.

Who is studied
The study population will include infants who were hospitalized with ARI, have documented RSV test results and born to an individual eligible for ABRYSVO vaccination in pregnancy based on the timing of birth relative to the local seasonal ABRYSVO vaccination program.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Population included in ABYRSVO VE analyses: 1. Infants ≤ 6 months (≤ 180 days) of age on the index date. 2. Index date within the time period for data collection (approximately 01 October to 15 April in the 2023-2024, 2024-2025, 2025-2026, and 2026-2027 RSV seasons). 3. Infants born at ≥32 weeks of gestation. 4. Infants born to individuals who were expected (based on estimated date of delivery) to reach the indicated ABRYSVO vaccination window (320/7 to 366/7 weeks' gestation) during the local vaccination season. 5. Infant's EHR links to the maternal EHR. 6. Hospitalized at a UPMC facility during the RSV season (according to local hospital epidemiology) with acute respiratory tract illness symptoms meeting the protocol-defined clinical case, and for whom RSV testing results from a specimen collected 10 days prior to hospital admission through 3 days after hospital admission are known. 7. Ability to document maternal ABRYSVO receipt or not. Population excluded from ABYRSVO VE analyses: 1. Infants who received any licensed or investigational RSV preventive product (e.g., RSV monoclonal antibodies, RSV vaccine (including investigational products or due to medication error)) since birth. 2. Born to birth parent for whom ABRYSVO vaccination status cannot be verified in the maternal EHR or Pennsylvania Immunization Electronic Registry System (PIERS) system. 3. Infants who were born to an individual vaccinated with ABRYSVO prior to the current pregnancy or vaccinated with more than one dose of ABRYSVO or vaccinated with any other licensed or investigational RSV vaccine during pregnancy.
