BACKGROUND: The nucleotide analogue brincidofovir was developed to prevent and
treat infections caused by double-stranded DNA viruses. Based on in vitro data
suggesting an antiviral effect against Ebola virus, brincidofovir was included in
the World Health Organisation list of agents that should be prioritised for
clinical evaluation in patients with Ebola virus disease (EVD) during the West
African epidemic. METHODS AND FINDINGS: In this single-arm phase 2 trial
conducted in Liberia, patients with laboratory-confirmed EVD (two months of age
or older, enrolment bodyweight ?50 kg) received oral brincidofovir 200 mg as a
loading dose on day 0, followed by 100 mg brincidofovir on days 3, 7, 10, and 14.
Bodyweight-adjusted dosing was used for patients weighing <50 kg at enrolment.
The primary outcome was survival at Day 14 after the first dose of brincidofovir.
Four patients were enrolled between 01 January 2015 and 31 January 2015. The
trial was stopped following the decision by the manufacturer to terminate their
program of development of brincidofovir for EVD. No Serious Adverse Reactions or
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions were identified. All enrolled
subjects died of an illness consistent with EVD. CONCLUSIONS: Due to the small
sample size it was not possible to determine the efficacy of brincidofovir for
the treatment of EVD. The premature termination of the trial highlights the need
to establish better practices for preclinical in-vitro and animal screening of
therapeutics for potentially emerging epidemic infectious diseases prior to their
use in patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Pan African Clinical Trials Registry
