Brincidofovir is an experimental anti-viral. It is the oral form of the anti-viral Cidofovir (Vistide). Cidofovir has been used as a treatment for some patients diagnosed with ME/CFS and it is currently being tested in Africa as a possible treatment for Ebola.
"The first antiviral drug, known as brincidofovir, is being tested by Oxford University at a separate site in Liberia, though researchers have not revealed exactly where.
The drug comes in tablet form and needs to be taken twice a week for two weeks. The drug works by interfering with the way the virus multiplies within healthy human cells.
It will be given to 140 patients, with their consent, and doctors will compare their survival rates against those who were not treated."
