At Santa Scolastica in Cassino, an innovative therapy against a rare disease

An innovative therapy to treat a rare disease: paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria.

It is the one with which a patient was treated, for the first time, at the Day Hospital of Hematology of the Santa Scolastica hospital in Cassino.

The man underwent Ultomiris-Ravulizumab therapy, thanks to which doctors were able to significantly improve his quality of life.

From now on, in fact, he can do without the frequent visits and therapies to which he was forced to undergo with the old and only available therapy, also reducing costs significantly.

This treatment, which was also possible thanks to the work of the UOS Farmacia, was previously carried out, in Lazio, only at the Policlinico Gemelli in Rome.
