Chapter 14 Avengers
Just when Beifeng Pharmaceutical noticed Zhang Yang and Ren Xiaomin, the second clinical phase of "Qingshan Avatrombopag" was coming to an end.
A total of 105 subjects were combined in the first and second phases of this clinical trial. 90 patients have been recruited so far, and the last fifteen places are left, which is the last group.
Here is a brief explanation.
Clinical trials are generally conducted in batches or groups. For example, the first and second phases of the "Qingshan Avatrombopag" clinical trial are designed to recruit 105 people. We cannot wait for all 105 people to be found before starting clinical trials. test.
Therefore, generally after gathering 10-15 people, they will be put into a group and the clinical trial will begin.
In this way, pharmaceutical companies can save clinical trial time. Secondly, the difference between the "control group" and the "test group" can be more intuitively and clearly analyzed in a group manner.
Of course, this is not absolute. There are many drugs that can be added to the group at any time even by a single person.
This time, "Qingshan Avatrombopag" has a total of seven groups. At present, the first three groups have completed the two-month clinical phase II trial.
Next, just wait for the end After the four groups complete the trial, they can then submit clinical data to apply for Phase 3 trials.
but.
Compared with the first and second clinical phases, the third phase will require more examinations and a larger amount of data. It is estimated that there will be more than 600 experimenters alone.
Looking at the estimated number of 600 people in the Phase III clinical trial, Zhang Yang smiled helplessly.
He did a rough calculation and found that even if the property is currently mortgaged, the remaining few hundred thousand yuan will only last until the end of the second phase at most.
So, after the end of the second clinical phase, he was unable to do anything and had to find a way to solve the funding problem.
"What's wrong?"
Just as Zhang Yang was sitting in the temporary office of the clinical center, looking at the design plan for the third phase of "Qingshan Avatrombopag" in his hand, the door was suddenly pushed open.
He turned around and glanced, it was Ren Xiaomin.
"What else can you do? It's a big head. According to the data of the second clinical phase, I estimate that there will be at least 600 people in the third phase."
"Is 600 people still too much for you? According to the regulations, there will be three phases. Generally, there are 300-2,000 people. The minimum threshold of 300 people is only available for oncology drugs or orphan drugs. Our 600 people are not too many.”
Zhang Yang nodded.
After a while, Ren Xiaomin said softly:
"Is there a problem with the funds?"
Zhang Yang paused and did not deny it.
He also knew that in fact, with Ren Xiaomin’s understanding of the pharmaceutical industry, he probably had already seen the clues.
"There is indeed a problem, but there is no problem in completing the second phase."
Speaking of this, he changed the topic and looked at Ren Xiaomin with some surprise.
"Shouldn't you go to the Seventh People's Hospital today? Why are you here suddenly?"
Ren Xiaomin's face suddenly changed and he whispered:
"Someone called me just now and wanted to ask us to meet."
Zhang Yang reacted immediately:
"Is he an acquaintance?"
"Yes, you should also know him, it's He Youcai from the marketing department of Beifeng Pharmaceutical."
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.
“Are you here for ‘Qingshan Avatropopa’?”
"Well, did you see it?"
Zhang Yang did not answer in a hurry, thinking for a moment and then nodded slowly.
"See you, what can't you see?"
The hospital is not a place for talking. After Zhang Yang agreed, the three of them immediately went to a nearby teahouse.
As soon as he sat down, He Youcai, who was in his forties and slightly overweight, was the first to speak with a smile on his face:
"Mr. Ren and Mr. Zhang, you are really fine. In just two months, you two have become very prosperous. I really envy you for achieving such great results."
"Mr. Ren, from now on. If you need me for any business, just ask!"
Ren Xiaomin picked up the teacup and took a sip without saying anything. Instead, Zhang Yang took over.
"Manager He, we are all acquaintances, so there is no need to say polite words. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
He Youcai was shocked. After a short test, he immediately knew who had the final say between the two.
He immediately turned to look at Zhang Yang, and then whispered:
"Mr. Zhang, I know that there was some unpleasantness between us before. Mr. Ding already scolded us when he found out. , and immediately ordered HR to make up the remaining severance compensation for both of them as soon as possible!"
As soon as he said this, Ren Xiaomin put down his tea cup and glanced at Zhang Yang secretly.
Zhang Yang sneered and interrupted directly:
"Let's get down to business!"
"Okay!"
He Youcai didn't care about Zhang Yang's lack of oil and salt, laughed, and then said:
"Then I won’t go into details. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ren, we noticed that your company recently has a drug in Phase II clinical trials. We I am very interested, so I hope to buy your company’s patent for this drug.”
“Don’t worry, after all, you are our old employees of Beifeng Pharmaceutical, Mr. Ren. He has worked for Beifeng Pharmaceutical for more than 10 years, and we will not let you suffer!”
Zhang Yang was already sneering in his heart. He no longer had the patience to listen to what He Youcai said.
"Just tell me, how much are you prepared to pay?"
"10 million."
After saying that, he looked up at the two people and saw their faces There was no response, and he continued:
“You two also know that this is just the second phase of clinical trials, and we don’t know whether it will eventually be launched on the market.”
"Of course, if you two have any needs, we can talk about it slowly..."
After the words fell, Zhang Yang's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"10 million? Do you really think we are beggars?"
"Okay, stop talking. Go back and tell Ding Jian that if you want to talk, let him come to me in person."
“Get out!”
He Youcai's face turned pale for a while, and he was a little unable to resist.
He didn’t expect that the kind-hearted Zhang Yang he had in the past would become so fierce.
Under this situation, he had no choice but to leave quickly with a livid face. After a while, only Ren Xiaomin and Zhang Yang were left in the teahouse.
"Zhang Yang, are we going too far? If the deal doesn't work out, we can have a good talk."
Zhang Yang has had more contact with Ren Xiaomin in the past two months, and gradually he has gotten to know him better.
He shook his head and whispered:
"Brother Ren, do you really think He Youcai is telling the truth?"
"Furthermore, the asking price is 10 million, do you think this Are you talking sincerely?"
Ren Xiaomin sighed heavily. He also knew that even though "Qingshan Avatrombopag" has only just begun its second clinical phase, the value it has shown now is at least 5,000. Ten thousand yuan!
Beifeng Pharmaceutical quoted 10 million, obviously wanting to take advantage.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang continued to persuade:
“Brother Ren, Beifeng Pharmaceutical is a thing of the past. Now we are Qingshan Pharmaceutical, we have to look forward!”
“Let’s do this. The better they are, the more unhappy they will be. One day, they will regret their previous decision."
Ren Xiaomin smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"If you say so, aren't we successful? The Avengers?”
"Haha! Yes, the Avengers, but they deserve this!"
Zhang Yang laughed, but soon he looked out the window.
What Ren Xiaomin doesn’t know is that revenge is not his focus, and Beifeng Pharmaceutical is by no means his opponent.
Thinking about "ITG human genin" in his mind, he suddenly felt a little heavy.
