Safety and antiviral activity of motavizumab, a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-specific humanized monoclonal antibody, when administered to RSV-infected children
Abstract
Previously healthy children hospitalized with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) received motavizumab (3, 15, or 30 mg/kg intravenously), an RSV-specific monoclonal antibody, or placebo. Safety, tolerability, motavizumab concentrations, and immunogenicity were assessed. Cultivatable RSV in the upper respiratory tract was significantly reduced with motavizumab compared with placebo day 1 post-treatment. No adverse events were considered motavizumab-related by site investigators.
