Trial of potential Ebola treatments begins in DR Congo- WHO

A clinical trial for two potential treatments against the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola has begun in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The trial evaluates the monoclonal antibody MBP134 and the antiviral drug remdesivir, both in isolation and combined. As of the latest data, there have been 1,406 confirmed cases and 438 confirmed deaths from the virus in the DRC, though 208 individuals have recovered. The trial is led by the DRC’s National Institute for Biomedical Research, with support from the WHO. Patients enrolled in the trial will receive comprehensive care and monitoring, and if the treatments prove effective, they will be made available to those affected.
