Abstract

France's state health institute, Inserm, is in talks with Guinea authorities on the first clinical trials of experimental Ebola therapies to be used on patients in the West African country. Sakoba Keita, head of the epidemic prevention unit at Guinea's Health Ministry, confirmed that Guinea is in talks with France on the experimental Ebola treatments. The two mid-stage trials contemplated by Inserm would be designed to show whether the compounds have an "anti-Ebola activity on human beings, which we don't know yet right now", Delfraissy said.
