ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.

ABSTRACT Background Palivizumab was introduced in Canada in 1998 as a publicly funded programme to reduce respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease in high‐risk children. Severe early‐life RSV infections are associated with increased asthma risk. Thus, palivizumab may also indirectly reduce paediatric asthma.

Population Pharmacokinetics of Clesrovimab in Preterm and Full‐Term Infants
Clesrovimab is a half‐life extended monoclonal antibody targeting the respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein. Three studies (phase Ib/IIa [MK‐1654‐002], phase IIb/III [CLEVER], and phase III [SMART]) were conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of clesrovimab in infants.
