Patients enrolled for Ebola treatment trial in Democratic Republic of Congo

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, have begun enrolling patients for a randomised controlled trial of four potential Ebola-treatments in Katwa and Butembo in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as the country battles the second-worst outbreak in history.
The trail began in November 2018 but will now be switched to a clinical trial which can generate the scientific data needed to draw conclusions on how effective the treatments are.
