This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind study in which motavizumab and palivizumab were administered sequentially to high-risk children during the same RSV season. It was anticipated that approximately 240 children (80 in each group) would be enrolled from the southern hemisphere during the upcoming RSV season (2006). Children were randomized into one of three regimens in a 1:1:1 ratio; the first group received 2 doses of motavizumab followed by 3 doses of palivizumab; the second group received 2 doses of palivizumab followed by 3 doses of motavizumab; and the third group received 5 doses of motavizumab. Motavizumab or palivizumab was administered at 15 mg/kg by IM injection every 30 days, for a total of 5 injections.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind study in which motavizumab (MEDI-524) and palivizumab were administered sequentially to high-risk children during the same respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) season. A control group was administered only motavizumab.
