On Sunday, MTV reported on a Traumakine project developed by Faron Pharmaceuticals, a Turku-based pharmaceutical company that may help with lung disease caused by coronavirus.
Markku Jalkanen, Managing Director of Faron Pharmaceuticals Oy, said that Traumakine is intended to prevent or limit the onset or progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by restoring capillary integrity.

Placing on the market of the finished medicinal product is subject to regulatory approval through clinical trials and is not available until further investigation. Jalkanen estimates that it will take 2-3 years to obtain a marketing authorization. In theory, Traumakine can also be introduced on an accelerated schedule, but it requires the permission of the Finnish Medicines Agency, Fimea.

Address online
Since last Thursday, the address Traumakine has been circulating in favor of the introduction. The address had received over 1,700 signatures by Tuesday afternoon. Over the weekend, the address has collected over 400 signatures a day. By far the most signatories of the address are in Helsinki and Turku.
The address is expected to be handed over to Fimea, the pharmaceutical safety and development center, on Friday this week.
“We are urging Fimea, the Center for Pharmaceutical Safety and Development, to authorize the use of the drug as soon as possible for those who wish to receive Traumakine for intensive care. The medicine is already manufactured and stored in Finland in sufficient quantities for treatment. This drug has the potential to save hundreds if not thousands of lives in Finland, ”the address reads.
The address was initiated by Aarne Koutaniemi, a 43-year-old family father from Helsinki. He has no affiliation with Faron Pharmaceuticals.
According to Koutaniemi, it seems crazy that such a drug is in stock in Finland and cannot be used for treatment if patients are about to die.
- The addressee strives to emphasize the urgency for Fimea to obtain the authorization to use the medicine. The address of the marketing authorization does not comment, Koutaniemi says.
