    RSV is the main cause of pneumonia and bronchiolitis in young children and the elderly.


    As a new oral inhibitor of RSV fusion protein, JNJ-53718678 can specifically target and bind to the fusion protein on the surface of the virus, inhibit RSV fusion protein-mediated fusion with the host cell membrane, and prevent the virus from entering.


    According to the information on the ClinicalTrials.


    At present, Janssen is carrying out a number of clinical trials on JNJ-53718678: one of them is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 clinical trial, which aims to evaluate the hematopoiesis of JNJ-53718678 in adults and adolescents infected with RSV in the upper respiratory tract.
