The article discusses the development of monoclonal antibody MEDI8897 as a potential respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prophylaxis for all infants. It mentions that the prevention of RSV illness in all infants is considered as a major public health priority wherein palivizumab is the only approved agent for RSV prophylaxis. It notes that the pharmacokinetics of palivizumab in infants supports the development of MEDI8897 as a cost-effective option to protect all infants from RSV disease. |
