Study details possible efficacy of Ebola vaccine candidates in Congo

  • WHO has published information about the effectiveness of two vaccine candidates for Ebola, including type Bundibugyo, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
  • The study also found that the standard dose could be improved by adding a booster, MBP134, or by using a different dosage; it also found that the booster could be administered for 28 days.
  • Further information on the vaccine candidate will be provided in the next section of the report.

In the fourth quarter, the World Health Organization (WHO) published details of two possible treatment methods for Ebola that could be effective, including a vaccine candidate called Bundibugyo, provided by the organization. WHO data show that during the study period there were 1,400 deaths, with 438 deaths and 200 deaths.

WHO also reported on the effectiveness of the vaccine candidate for Ebola. The materials from WHO say that the study period could be improved by two preparations to ensure the best possible effectiveness, and that the booster could be administered with MBP134.

As the materials explain, the treatment method is a company Gilead Sciences, which developed a COVID-19 drug. MBP134, which was developed by Mapp Biopharmaceutical, describes itself as an experimental antibody that targets the Ebola virus and blocks Bundibugyo. The plan is to administer it for 28 days after the start of the study.

WHO has also noted that it is not yet clear how many people will be treated with MBP134, and that the number of participants may be affected by the results of the study.

In a report published by Al Jazeera, it is stated that in Bunia, the capital of the province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the center for treatment of patients was Bunia General Hospital, where the treatment took place.

In addition, it is noted that the materials say that the vaccine will be administered for 28 days after the start of the study. The materials also indicate that the treatment will be provided to patients in the region, and that the exact number of participants will be determined based on the study results.
