PARTNERS trial begins enrolling patients in DRC to test treatments for Bundibugyo virus disease
Summary
The PARTNERS clinical trial has begun enrolling patients in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to evaluate potential treatments for Bundibugyo virus disease (BVD), a form of Ebola. The trial will test two antiviral therapies — a monoclonal antibody (MBP134) and remdesivir — both individually and in combination, to determine if they can improve survival rates. This marks a major international effort to find the first effective treatments specifically for BVD.
