A randomized, controlled trial of Ebola virus disease therapeutics.New Engl. J. Med., 381, 2293-2303, 2019.Order of authorship in the original publication: Mulangu, Dodd, Davey.... One synthetic drug (Remdesivir, an antiviral) and 3 biologicals were used in this trial. The 3 biologicals were: REGN-EB3, a triple monoclonal antibody biologic, and Mab114, a single monoclonal antibody biologic, and ZMapp, another triple monoclonal antibody biologic. REGN-EB3, and Mab114 outperformed the other two, reducing mortality from up to 90% in the untreated to 33.5% for the REGN group and 35.1% for the Mab114 group. This was the first randomized, controlled trial of biopharmaceuticals that had significant success in curing Ebola. Digital text from nejm.org at this link.
