Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) of single ascending doses of clesrovimab in healthy pre-term (born at 29 to 35 weeks gestational age) and full-term (born at \>35 weeks gestational age) infants. Participants will be randomized into 1 of 4 dose escalation panels (Panels A to D); an additional panel (Panel E) of full-term infants will receive the same dose as Panel D. Key safety and tolerability variables will be reviewed after each dose panel prior to administering the next-highest dose.

Detailed description

Participants in Dose Panels A, B, C, D1, and E1 will be followed for up to 365 days. After protocol Amendment 4 (AM4), participants in Dose Panels D2 and E2 will be followed for up to 545 days.

Interventions

Single ascending doses of clesrovimab will be administered via IM injection.

DRUGPlacebo

Placebo (0.9% sodium chloride \[NaCl\]) will be administered via IM injection.
