MedImmune Funds Study to Help Gain Insights Into Full Burden of RSV Disease Among Premature Infants
Date:6/29/2009

utive RSV seasons and begin patient enrollment in fall 2009, with a target of 3,000 participants across 100 outpatient sites in the United States. The study population will include infants born 32-to-35 weeks (GA) who do not receive RSV prophylaxis during their first RSV season.

About RSV

Each year, up to 125,000 infants in the United States are hospitalized with severe RSV infections, the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections in U.S. infants. RSV is the most common respiratory infection in infancy or childhood. Approximately one-half of all infants are infected with RSV during the first year of life, and nearly all children have been infected at least once by the time they reach their second birthday. Children born prematurely as well as those with chronic lung disease (CLD) or congenital heart disease (CHD) are at highest risk for severe disease and hospitalization due to RSV. The virus may also cause severe illness in other high-risk groups.

A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that RSV accounts for one of every 13 visits to a pediatrician, one of every 38 emergency room trips, and inpatient hospital stays for one out of every 334 children.
