Can a pregnancy vaccine shield newborns from RSV? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07249320
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examines how well the ABRYSVO vaccine works when given during pregnancy to prevent RSV in infants. Researchers will compare health outcomes of babies born to vaccinated mothers versus unvaccinated mothers using electronic medical records. The goal is to see if the vaccine reduces RSV-related hospitalizations and other illnesses in the first months of life.
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)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that vaccinating pregnant people with ABRYSVO effectively protects their babies from severe RSV disease in the first months of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by other factors. It only includes data from one healthcare system, which may not apply to everyone.

Who is studied
The study population will comprise eligible maternal-infant pairs over a 2-year study period, identified from EMR records in the existing databases, which accrue in real-time as pregnancies/births occur. All pregnancies that reach 32 0/7 weeks' gestation during the 2-year study period, from September 22, 2023 (start of ABRYSVO vaccination season 1) to January 31, 2025 (estimated end of ABRYSVO vaccination season 2) will be eligible for inclusion, along with all live born infants from the eligible pregnancies. The KPNC pregnancy database will be used to identify the maternal-infant study population. This database links records of newborn infants with their mother, enabling integration of maternal data from across pregnancy and delivery encounters, along with infant birth information and longitudinal follow-up for infants who remain enrolled with KPNC. Infant healthcare encounters after the birth and throughout the follow-up period will be identified in the EMR.

Inclusion Criteria Pregnant Individuals - Inclusion Criteria: Participants must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for inclusion in the study: 1. Gestational age at delivery ≥32 0/7 weeks of gestation (earliest gestational age eligible for ABRYSVO vaccination) during the study period 2. Maternal age \>/= 18 to 50 years at pregnancy onset 3. At least 1 prenatal visit between pregnancy onset and 20 weeks of gestation 4. Continuous KPNC enrollment for a minimum of 30 days prior to pregnancy onset through to the date of delivery, with no more than a 2-month administrative gap in coverage Infants - Inclusion Criteria: Participants must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for inclusion in the study: 1. Born to a pregnant individual who has met all inclusion and exclusion criteria outlined above 2. Live birth 3. Enrolled as member in KPNC by 4 months of age (membership indicated in any of months 2-4 of life) Exclusion Criteria Pregnant Individuals - Exclusion Criteria: Participants meeting any of the following criteria will not be included in the study: 1. Received any licensed or investigational RSV vaccine other than ABRYSVO at any time during pregnancy 2. Received ABRYSVO at ≥37 weeks' gestation 3. Received ABRYSVO at \<32 0/7 weeks' gestation Infants - Exclusion Criteria: There are no exclusion criteria for infants. Those who receive any licensed or investigational RSV preventative product (e.g., monoclonal antibodies) at/after birth or any licensed or investigational RSV therapeutic (e.g., antiviral medications) will not be excluded, but their follow-up time will be censored on the date of receipt of the RSV preventative or therapeutic product.
