Ana Beatriz Stubinski, aged 22, suffered serious injuries after she was hit by a branch Family Archive Path to applying the substance The use of the substance depends on the individual analysis of each case and the approval of the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa). To do this, the patient must meet a series of clinical criteria. Furthermore, according to Anvisa, the request for compassionate use, whether direct or via court, is not made directly to Anvisa, but to the sponsoring laboratory, in this case, Cristália. If the laboratory agrees to donate the experimental medicine to the patient, it submits a process for final approval by Anvisa. The process requires that there are no other therapeutic options for the patient, evaluation and opinion of the responsible doctors, clinical history and other information regarding each case. In Ana's case, with the clinical evolution and the elimination of the immediate risk of death, the Hospital do Trabalhador team noted the absence of movement resulting from the spinal cord injury and assessed that the patient could meet the criteria to receive polylaminin through the compassionate use program. Medical teams identified severe injuries to the lung and spinal cord, between Ana's T5 and T6 vertebrae. Arts/RPC VIDEOS: Most watched on g1 Paraná Read more news on g1 Paraná.
