- Safety and tolerability of MEDI8897 as assessed by the occurence of all treatment emergent adverse events (TEAESs) and treatment emergent serious adverse events (TESAE) [ Time Frame: 360 days post dose ]Safety and tolerability of MEDI8897 will be assessed by the occurrence of all treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TESAEs) , adverse events of special interest (AESIs), and new onset chronic diseases (NOCDs)
- Evaluate serum concentrations of MEDI8897 and palivizumab [ Time Frame: 360 days post dose ]Individual MEDI8897 and palivizumab serum concentration data will be tabulated by treatment group along with descriptive statistics. PK parameters will be estimated using non compartmental analysis, if data permit.
- Incidence of anti-drug antibody to MEDI8897 and palivizumab in serum [ Time Frame: 360 days post dose ]The incidence of ADA to MEDI8897 and palivizumab will be assessed and summarized by number and percentage of subjects that are ADA positive by treatment group.
- Assess the descriptive efficacy of MEDI8897 in reducing medically attended LRTI incidence and hospitalization due to Reverse Transcriptase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed RSV [ Time Frame: 150 days post dose ]Incidence of medically attended LRTI (inpatient and outpatient) due to RT-PCR-confirmed RSV through 150 days after Dose 1 for season 1 and season 2

Inclusion criteria
-
For the preterm cohort (excluding subjects with CLD or hemodynamically significant CHD): preterm infants in their first year of life and born ≤ 35 weeks 0 days GA eligible to receive palivizumab in accordance with national or local guidelines, including those with:
- Uncomplicated small atrial or ventricular septal defects or patent ductus arteriosus, or
- Aortic stenosis, pulmonic stenosis, or coarctation of the aorta alone
-
For the CLD/CHD cohort:
- Subjects with CLD - infants in their first year of life and a diagnosis of CLD of prematurity requiring medical intervention/management (ie, supplemental oxygen, bronchodilators, or diuretics) within the 6 months prior to randomization
- Subjects with CHD - infants in their first year of life and documented, hemodynamically significant CHD (must be unoperated or partially corrected CHD) Note: Infants with hemodynamically significant acyanotic cardiac lesions must have pulmonary hypertension (≥ 40 mmHg measured pressure in the pulmonary artery) or the need for daily medication to manage CHD
- Infants who are entering their first RSV season at the time of screening
- Written informed consent and any locally required authorization (eg, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act in the USA, EU Data Privacy Directive in the EU) obtained from the subject's parent(s)/legal representative(s) prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations
- Subject's parent(s)/legal representative(s) able to understand and comply with the requirements of the protocol including follow-up and illness visits as judged by the investigator
- Subject is available to complete the follow-up period, which will be 1 year after Season 1/ Dose 1 for subjects without CLD/CHD, or 1 year after Season 2/Dose 1 (or last replacement dose as applicable for CHD) for subjects with CLD/CHD
Exclusion criteria
- Any fever (≥ 100.4°F [≥ 38.0°C], regardless of route) or acute illness within 7 days prior to randomization
- Any history of LRTI or active LRTI prior to, or at the time of, randomization
- Known history of RSV infection or active RSV infection prior to, or at the time of, randomization
- Hospitalization at the time of randomization, unless discharge is expected within the 7 days after randomization
- Requirement for mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, CPAP, or other mechanical respiratory or cardiac support at the time of randomization
- Anticipated cardiac surgery within 2 weeks after randomization
- Anticipated survival of < 6 months after randomization
- Receipt of any investigational drug
- Known renal impairment
- Known hepatic dysfunction including known or suspected active or chronic hepatitis infection
- Clinically significant congenital anomaly of the respiratory tract
- Chronic seizure, or evolving or unstable neurologic disorder
- Prior history of a suspected or actual acute life-threatening event
- Known immunodeficiency, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- Mother with HIV infection (unless the child has been proven to be not infected)
- Any known allergy, including to immunoglobulin products, or history of allergic reaction
- Receipt of palivizumab or other RSV mAb or any RSV vaccine, including maternal RSV vaccination
- Receipt of any monoclonal or polyclonal antibody (for example, hepatitis B immune globulin, intravenous immunoglobulin) or anticipated use during the study
- Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of the study drug or interpretation of subject safety or study results
- Concurrent enrollment in another interventional study
- Children of employees of the sponsor, clinical study site, or any other individuals involved with the conduct of the study, or immediate family members of such individuals
