That drug may be the Tekmira compound mentioned here.

Maybe because I'm really tired, but I don't see the Tekmira drug mentioned in the article you linked.

The last I read about the Tekmira drug was that the phase 1 clinical trials had been halted and have not, to my knowledge, been restarted.

“CAMPAIGNERS URGE U.S. AUTHORITIES TO GIVE EBOLA DRUG GREEN LIGHT

Health campaigners are calling for U.S. authorities to speed up their approval of a new drug hoped to be the first cure for the deadly Ebola virus.

A petition, created on change.org, states: ‘One of the most promising is TKM-Ebola manufactured by Tekmira Pharmaceuticals.

‘This drug has been shown to be highly effective in killing the virus in primates and Phase 1 clinical trials to assess its safety in humans were started earlier this year.’”

But it was in phase III trials for influenza if it’s the compound I’m thinking of.
