The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of an extended half-life anti-respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) monoclonal antibody compared to placebo when administered to healthy preterm infants.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This Phase 1b/2a study will be a dose-escalation design to begin data collection on PK and safety in children. The population to be enrolled is healthy preterm infants born between 32 weeks 0 days and 34 weeks 6 days gestation who would not receive RSV prophylaxis based on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) or other local guidelines. These subjects will not be receiving palivizumab, allowing for a placebo comparator group to begin collecting data on incidence rates of RSV medically attended lower respiratory illness (MA-LRI) and efficacy. Enrollment is planned at approximately 20 sites in the USA, Chile, and South Africa.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
Time Frame: From Study Drug Administration (Day 1) Through the Follow-up Period (Day 361)
An adverse event (AE) is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening situation (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity of a participant who received MEDI8897. TEAEs and TESAEs were the events that occurred between administration of study drug (Day 1) and Day 361 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state.
From Study Drug Administration (Day 1) Through the Follow-up Period (Day 361)
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events of Special Interest
Time Frame: From Study Drug Administration (Day 1) Through the Follow-up Period (Day 361)
An AESI was one of scientific and medical interest specific to understanding of study product and may have required close monitoring and rapid communication by investigator (that is, within 24 hrs of knowledge of the event) to the sponsor. The AESIs for this study were hepatic function abnormality meeting the definition of Hy's law, hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, immune complex disease, and thrombocytopenia. Treatment-emergent AESIs were collected from the time of dosing until Day 361 post-dose.
From Study Drug Administration (Day 1) Through the Follow-up Period (Day 361)
Number of Participants With Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities Reported as Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Time Frame: From Study Drug Administration (Day 1) Through the Follow-up Period (Day 151)
Laboratory abnormalities determined by the investigator to be clinically significant that occurred after study drug dosing through 151 days post-dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state were reported as TEAEs. Laboratory evaluations (haematology and serum chemistry) of blood samples were performed.
From Study Drug Administration (Day 1) Through the Follow-up Period (Day 151)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
