About The Study: In this randomized clinical trial, clesrovimab, a long-acting monoclonal antibody, was well tolerated in infants at increased risk for severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease through 2 RSV seasons. These findings support the use of clesrovimab in children who remain at risk for severe RSV disease in their second RSV season.
