A Study to Evaluate a Single Intramuscular Dose of Motavizumab to Treat Children With Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Illness

This was a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to determine the effect of a single 30 mg/kg IM dose of motavizumab on viral load in the upper respiratory tract of children who present with RSV illness but who do not require hospitalization. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to 30 mg/kg motavizumab or placebo as soon as possible after a child's diagnosis of RSV and his/her eligibility for the study had been confirmed. Randomization was stratified by age (\<6 months and greater than or equal to 6 to less than or equal to 12 months of age) and by site. Enrollment of an initial 100 children (50 per treatment group) will take place at multiple sites beginning in the 2006-2007 RSV season. The study was terminated early due to inability to enroll the planned number of participants.
