Globally, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) in infants. Pfizer has developed ABRYSVO-a bivalent RSV prefusion F protein-based vaccine (RSVpreF) composed of two prefusion F proteins to protect against both RSV-A and RSV-B. In the United States, ABRYSVO has been approved and recommended for active immunization of pregnant individuals from 32 0/7 to 36 6/7 weeks' gestational age for the prevention of LRTD and severe LRTD caused by RSV in infants from birth through 6 months of age. To generate critical evidence to support vaccine policy and implementation, Pfizer will collaborate with University of Pittsburgh to study vaccine effectiveness (VE) of ABRYSVO vaccination during pregnancy against RSV-associated outcomes in infants. The study will take place in a real-world population in Western Pennsylvania over multiple seasons, beginning in the 2023-2024 season, and will use a test negative design (TND approach). There will be no active enrollment of study participants, no direct contact with study participants, and no collection of any primary data outside of the Standard of Care (SOC). This study will use a TND to evaluate real-world VE of maternal ABRYSVO against RSV-associated outcomes in infants. Additionally, we will describe RSV-associated medically-attended visits for infants exposed to ABRYSVO and Beyfortus (monoclonal antibody (MAB) administered to babies up to 24 months for protection against RSV).

NCT# stands for National Clinical Trial number. This is a unique identification code given to each clinical trial registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. The format is "NCT" followed by an 8-digit number (for example, NCT00000419). Also called the ClinicalTrials.gov identifier.
Each clinical study has its own guidelines for who may participate, called eligibility criteria. These factors can include your age, sex, overall health, type and stage of disease, and personal treatment history. However, only the research study staff can determine if you qualify to enroll in the study.
