Enflonsia Drug Information
Generic name: CLESROVIMAB
Respiratory Syncytial Virus Anti-F Protein Monoclonal Antibody [EPC]
Uses of Enflonsia
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.
Dosage & Administration of Enflonsia
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.
Infants Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass For infants undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass during or entering their first RSV season, an additional 105 mg dose administered as an IM injection is recommended as soon as the infant is stable after surgery to ensure adequate clesrovimab-cfor serum levels.
Administration Instructions ENFLONSIA must be administered by a healthcare provider. Before injection, remove ENFLONSIA from the refrigerator and allow the prefilled syringe to come to room temperature for approximately 15 minutes. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
ENFLONSIA is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow solution. This product should not be used if particulate matter or discoloration is found. Do not use if the prefilled syringe has been dropped or damaged, the security seal on the carton has been broken, or the expiration date has passed.
Refer to Figure 1 for prefilled syringe components. Figure 1: Prefilled Syringe Components Step 1: Hold the syringe barrel in one hand and unscrew the tip cap by twisting it counter-clockwise with the other hand. Do not remove the Luer Lock adaptor and the finger flange extender.
Step 2: Attach a sterile Luer Lock needle by twisting in a clockwise direction until the needle fits securely on the syringe. Due to the viscosity of the product, use a 22- to 25-gauge needle. Step 3: Inject the entire contents of the ENFLONSIA prefilled syringe intramuscularly in the anterolateral aspect of the thigh.
ENFLONSIA should not be injected in the gluteal area or areas where there may be a major nerve trunk and/or blood vessel. Step 4: Discard syringe into a sharps container. Co-administration with Childhood Vaccines and Immunoglobulin Products ENFLONSIA can be given concomitantly with childhood vaccines.
When ENFLONSIA is administered concomitantly with injectable vaccines, it should be given using a separate syringe and at a different injection site. Do not mix ENFLONSIA with any vaccines or medications in the same syringe or vial. There is no information regarding co-administration of ENFLONSIA with other immunoglobulin products.
There are no data regarding substitution of ENFLONSIA for palivizumab once prophylaxis treatment is initiated with palivizumab for the RSV season. Prefilled Syringe

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. Neonates and Infants Entering Their First RSV Season (Trial 004) Trial 004 was a Phase 2b/3, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, multisite trial conducted in early and moderate preterm infants (≥29 to <35 weeks gestational age (GA)) and late preterm and full-term infants (≥35 weeks GA). Participants were randomized 2:1 and received a single 105 mg dose of ENFLONSIA (N=2,412, including 422 early and moderate preterm infants) or saline placebo (N=1,202, including 209 early and moderate preterm infants) by IM injection.
Participants were monitored for 30 minutes post-dose. Safety was assessed using an electronic diary device from Days 1 through 42 post-dose. Participants were monitored for serious adverse events (SAEs) through the duration of their participation for up to 365 days post-dose.
A subset of participants was monitored for SAEs for up to 515 days post-dose. Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions in participants who received ENFLONSIA. Most (≥97%) of the adverse reactions were toxicity grade 1 (mild) or grade 2 (moderate).
Table 1: Adverse Reactions Reported at an Incidence Higher Than Placebo (Trial 004) Infants Born at ≤35 Weeks Gestational Age and Infants with Chronic Lung Disease (CLD) of Prematurity or Hemodynamically Significant Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Entering Their First RSV Season (Trial 007) Trial 007 was a Phase 3, randomized, partially-blind, palivizumab-controlled, multisite trial conducted in infants at increased risk of severe RSV disease. Participants were randomized and received a single 105 mg dose of ENFLONSIA (N=446) followed by a dose of placebo one month later or 3 to 5 monthly doses of 15 mg/kg palivizumab (N=450) by IM injection. Participants were monitored for serious adverse events in the first RSV season for up to 365 days.
The safety profile of ENFLONSIA in infants at increased risk of severe RSV disease entering their first season was similar to palivizumab and consistent with the safety profile of ENFLONSIA in infants in Trial 004.

Warnings & Cautions for Enflonsia
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.
RSV Diagnostic Test Interference Clesrovimab-cfor may interfere with some immunologically-based RSV diagnostic assays (i.e., rapid antigen tests) as observed in laboratory studies. Confirmation using a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay is recommended when rapid antigen assay results are negative and clinical observations are consistent with RSV infection.
Drug Interactions with Enflonsia
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.
Pregnancy Safety for Enflonsia
Pregnancy ENFLONSIA is not indicated for use in females of reproductive potential.
Pediatric Use of Enflonsia
Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ENFLONSIA have been established for the prevention of RSV lower respiratory tract disease in neonates and infants born during or entering their first RSV season and the information on this use is discussed throughout the labeling. The safety and effectiveness of ENFLONSIA have not been established in children older than 12 months of age.
Contraindications for Enflonsia
ENFLONSIA is contraindicated in infants with a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to any component of ENFLONSIA.
Overdosage Information for Enflonsia
There is limited experience of overdose with ENFLONSIA. There is no specific treatment for an overdose with ENFLONSIA. In the event of an overdose, the infant should be monitored for the occurrence of adverse reactions and provided with symptomatic treatment as appropriate.
Clinical Studies of Enflonsia
Description of Clinical Trials
The efficacy and safety of ENFLONSIA were evaluated in preterm and full-term infants in the trials summarized in Table 2. Table 2: Trials Conducted with ENFLONSIA for the Prevention of Medically Attended RSV Lower Respiratory Tract Disease
Prevention of RSV-Associated Disease in Neonates and Infants (≥29 Weeks GA) Entering Their First RSV Season (Trial 004) Trial 004 was a Phase 2b/3, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, multi-site trial conducted in 22 countries from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to evaluate the efficacy of ENFLONSIA in early and moderate preterm infants (≥29 to <35 weeks GA) and late preterm and full-term infants (≥35 weeks GA). The trial assessed the efficacy of ENFLONSIA in the prevention of RSV-associated disease across a spectrum of severity. Participants were randomized 2:1 to receive a single 105 mg dose of ENFLONSIA or saline placebo by IM injection.
The primary endpoint was the incidence of RSV-associated Medically Attended Lower Respiratory Infection (MALRI) characterized as cough or difficulty breathing and requiring ≥1 indicator of LRI (wheezing, rales/crackles) or severity (chest wall in-drawing/retractions, hypoxemia, tachypnea, dehydration due to respiratory symptoms) through 150 days after dosing. Medically Attended (MA) includes all healthcare provider visits in settings such as outpatient clinic, clinical study site, emergency department, urgent care center, and/or hospital. The statistical criterion for success required the lower bound of the 95% CI of efficacy to be greater than 25%.
RSV-associated hospitalization through 150 days after dosing was evaluated as a key secondary endpoint. Both efficacy endpoints required an RSV-positive RT-PCR nasopharyngeal (NP) sample. Table 3 displays efficacy results for the primary and key secondary RSV-associated disease endpoints in preterm and full-term infants from days 1 through 150 post-dose.
The efficacy of ENFLONSIA in infants at increased risk for severe RSV disease, including preterm infants and infants with chronic lung disease of prematurity or congenital heart disease was established by extrapolation of efficacy of ENFLONSIA from Trial 004 to Trial 007 based on similar pharmacokinetic exposure.
