Abbreviations: ITT, intent-to-treat; IV, intravenous; LRTI, lower respiratory tract infection; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus.

aITT population included all participants who underwent randomization.

bIn the second season, the number of ITT participants who were followed up for ≥362 days post-dose was used as the denominator for calculation of incidence.

cPer-protocol definition of medically attended RSV LRTI.

dRestricted to those children requiring oxygen supplementation or IV fluids for management of medically attended RSV LRTI (per protocol definition).

eMedically attended LRTI in investigators judgment, regardless of whether they met all the criteria for the per-protocol case definition of a medically attended LRTI.

fAny test result refers to either the central reference test for the trial or a local test performed in the context of clinical care.

gAny respiratory illness includes both upper respiratory tract infection and LRTI.
