{{As of|2015|7}}, no medication has been proven safe and effective for treating Ebola. By the time the [[Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa]] began in 2013, there were at least nine different candidate treatments. Several trials were conducted in late 2014, and early 2015, but some were abandoned due to lack of efficacy or lack of people to study.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Final trial results confirm Ebola vaccine provides high protection against disease |url=https://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2016/ebola-vaccine-results/en/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170401042946/http://who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2016/ebola-vaccine-results/en/ |archive-date=1 April 2017 |access-date=29 March 2017 |publisher=[[World Health Organization]] (WHO)}}</ref>

{{As of|2019|8}}, two experimental treatments known as [[atoltivimab/maftivimab/odesivimab]] and [[ansuvimab]] were found to be 90% effective.<ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Maxmen A |date=12 August 2019 |title=Two Ebola drugs show promise amid ongoing outbreak |journal=Nature |doi=10.1038/d41586-019-02442-6 |issn=0028-0836 |pmid=32778704 |s2cid=201975390}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Hoenen T, Groseth A, Feldmann H |date=24 July 2019 |title=Therapeutic strategies to target the Ebola virus life cycle |journal=Nature Reviews.
