Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antidrug antibody (ADA) response for MEDI8897 in healthy preterm infants who are between 29 and 35 weeks gestational age (GA) and entering their first Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) season.
Detailed Description
This pivotal Phase 2b study will determine if MEDI8897 will be efficacious in reducing medically attended RSV-confirmed lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in healthy preterm infants entering their first RSV season. The population to be enrolled is healthy preterm infants born between 29 weeks 0 days and 34 weeks 6 days GA who would not receive RSV prophylaxis. A total of 1500 infants will be randomized 2:1 to receive either MEDI8897 or placebo. Participants will be followed for 360 days after dosing. Enrollment is planned at approximately 197 sites across the USA, Canada, Europe, and the Southern Hemisphere.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Healthy infants born between 29 weeks 0 days and 34 weeks 6 days GA.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants With Medically Attended Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Confirmed Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI)
Time Frame: From Day 1 through Day 151
The determination of medically attended RSV LRTI is based on objective clinical LRTI criteria and RSV test results obtained from analyzing the respiratory secretions using a validated RSV real time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for the detection of RSV A or RSV B subtypes. Criteria for LRTI included documented physical exam findings of rhonchi, rales, crackles, or wheeze and any of the following: increased respiratory rate at rest (for age less than (\<) 2 months: greater than or equal to (\>=) 60 breaths/min; 2-6 months: \>= 50 breaths/min; and for \> 6 months - 2 years, \>= 40 breaths/min), or hypoxemia (in room air - oxygen saturation \< 95% at altitudes less than or equal to (\<=) 1800 meters or \< 92% at altitudes \> 1800 meters), or clinical signs of severe respiratory disease or dehydration secondary to inadequate oral intake due to respiratory distress (need for intravenous fluid).
Secondary Outcomes

- Number of Participants Hopitalized Due to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Confirmed Lower Respiartory Tract Infection (LRTI)(From Day 1 through Day 151)
- Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)(From Day 1 through Day 361)
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) and New Onset Chronic Diseases (NOCDs)(From Day 1 through Day 361)
- Number of Participants With Positive Anti-drug Antibodies to MEDI8897(Days 91, 151, and 361)
