First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well a single dose of BEYFORTUS (nirsevimab) protects infants from serious RSV infections that require a doctor visit or hospital stay. Researchers followed nearly 50,000 babies during their first RSV season. The goal was to see if the shot reduces cases of RSV-related lung infections and other medical visits.

Who is studied
The study is an observational, retrospective cohort study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of nirsevimab to prevent RSV-confirmed respiratory-related medical encounters and health care utilization in infants entering their first RSV season compared to no treatment in the United States. The source population is infants ≥ 37 weeks gestational age and aged 0 to 12 months (calendar age) entering their first RSV season and without significant medical history. There is also a high-risk infant population with infants \< 37 WGA and aged 0 to 12 months (calendar age), entering their first RSV season and infants ≥ 37 weeks with significant medical history diagnosed at birth up to the end of the observation period (ie, 30 April 2024). The study will aim to enroll approximately 33,000 infants.
