About RSV
RSV is a highly contagious virus that can lead to serious respiratory illness for infants. Two out of three infants are infected with RSV during their first year of life and almost all children are infected by their second birthday. Most of the time RSV will cause a mild, cold-like illness. However, RSV is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD), including bronchiolitis and pneumonia, in infants. RSV LRTD is the leading cause of hospitalization in babies under 1, with most hospitalizations for RSV occurring in healthy infants born at term. Each year in the US, an estimated 590,000 RSV cases in babies under 1 require medical care, including physician office, urgent care, emergency room visits and hospitalizations.
About BEYFORTUS
BEYFORTUS is a single-dose long-acting antibody designed to help prevent RSV LRTD in infants that extends through five months, the length of the typical RSV season in the US. For children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, an additional dose of BEYFORTUS is recommended as soon as the child is stable after surgery. An additional dose of BEYFORTUS is also indicated for children up to 24 months of age, regardless of body weight, who remain vulnerable to severe RSV disease through their second RSV season.
As a long-acting antibody provided directly to newborns and infants as a single dose, BEYFORTUS offers fast-acting protection to help prevent lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV without requiring activation of the immune system. It has demonstrated a consistent safety profile across a broad infant population. BEYFORTUS administration can be timed to coincide with the RSV season.
BEYFORTUS has been approved for use in the US, the
