BEYFORTUS
BEYFORTUS is a monoclonal antibody indicated for the prevention of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease. It is administered to neonates and infants who are born during or entering their first RSV season. Additionally, the treatment is approved for children up to 24 months of age who remain vulnerable to severe RSV disease through their second RSV season. This therapeutic serves as a preventative measure for pediatric populations at risk of RSV-related complications.
How BEYFORTUS Works
BEYFORTUS functions as a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F protein-directed fusion inhibitor. As a monoclonal antibody, it targets the F protein on the surface of the virus to exhibit anti-RSV activity. By binding to this protein, the drug inhibits the virus's ability to fuse with and enter host cells. This mechanism prevents the virus from establishing an infection that leads to lower respiratory tract disease.
