Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ENFLONSIA is indicated for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease in neonates and infants who are born during or entering their first RSV season. ENFLONSIA is a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F protein-directed fusion inhibitor indicated for the prevention of RSV lower respiratory tract disease in neonates and infants who are born during or entering their first RSV season.

Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended dosage: 105 mg administered as a single intramuscular (IM) injection. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dose for neonates and infants born during or entering their first RSV season is 105 mg administered as a single intramuscular (IM) injection. For neonates and infants born during the RSV season, administer ENFLONSIA once starting from birth. For infants born outside the RSV season, administer ENFLONSIA once prior to the start of their first RSV season considering the duration of protection provided by ENFLONSIA [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ].
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reactions were injection-site erythema (3.8%), injection-site swelling (2.7%) and rash (2.3%). ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC at 1-877-888-4231 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of ENFLONSIA was evaluated in 2,858 infants who received ENFLONSIA in Phase 2b/3 and Phase 3 clinical trials (Trial 004 and Trial 007).
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Interference with Rapid Antigen Detection RSV Diagnostic Assays Clesrovimab-cfor may interfere with some immunologically-based RSV diagnostic assays (i.e., rapid antigen tests) as observed in laboratory studies. Confirmation using an RT-PCR assay is recommended when rapid antigen RSV diagnostic assay results are negative and clinical observations are consistent with RSV infection. Clesrovimab-cfor does not interfere with RT-PCR diagnostic assays [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] .
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Including Anaphylaxis: Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been observed with other human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibodies. Initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive care if such reactions occur. ( 5.1 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Including Anaphylaxis Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been observed with other human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibodies. If signs or symptoms of a clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis occur, initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive therapy. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS ENFLONSIA is contraindicated in infants with a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to any component of ENFLONSIA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Description (11) ]. ENFLONSIA is contraindicated in infants with a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to any component of ENFLONSIA. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
