NCT ID NCT07382219

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether a single shot of nirsevimab (Beyfortus) can prevent RSV and other respiratory infections in infants under 1 year old. Researchers reviewed medical records from 816 babies at seven hospitals in China, comparing those who got the shot to those who did not. The goal was to see if the shot reduced hospitalizations for RSV and other respiratory illnesses.
