摘要
An Expanded Access Study was conducted to collect additional safety data on palivizumab. Pre-term infants with or without bronchopulmonary dysplasia received palivizumab every 30 days during the respiratory syncytial virus season. Adverse events were low (6.9%) in the 565 subjects. Serious adverse events included hospitalization and 1 case of respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis not requiring hospitalization. This study reaffirms the safety and tolerability of palivizumab.
