Chapter 15 This is not about money!
Miancheng is a city not far from Rongcheng.
Early in the morning, Li Bing kept refreshing his cell phone, as if he was anxiously waiting for something.
He is a patient with "aplastic anemia".
Two days ago, he accidentally joined a patient group. From the chats of the patients in the group, he learned that a drug called "Qingshan Avatrombopag" had appeared in China during this period. New drugs.
Although this new drug is still in clinical trials, it has shown excellent therapeutic effects in the treatment of aplastic anemia and allergic purpura!
Out of curiosity, he checked the messages in the group for nearly half a month overnight and was completely surprised!
Several patients in the group who participated in the clinical trial not only showed significant improvement in important indicators such as platelets and red blood cells, but two people's blood levels have even reached the level of normal people!
Just two months of taking the medicine had such an effect?
He is so envious!
After tossing and turning all night, he finally decided to sign up for a new clinical drug!
"Didi..."
The familiar message prompt sounded on his mobile phone, and he quickly looked at the screen of his mobile phone.
“I’m here, what’s wrong?”
The message was sent by a WeChat friend named Yan Xiaoduo. It was she who invited Li Bing to join the group, and she was a member of the patient group. Group leader.
Li Bing felt relieved immediately.
"Yan Xiaoduo, could you please help me contact the hospital and ask if there are still places for new drug trials?"
The message was sent and the other end responded quickly.
"Okay, I'll call you and ask the doctor...have you finally made up your mind to participate?"
"Yes."
Li Bing took a deep breath and typed quickly:
"I've had enough of my current life. Although I know that new drugs may have risks, I can't care so much anymore!"
"I understand./Hug."
This time Yan Xiaoduo took more than ten seconds to send the message.
As the leader of the patient group, she is also a patient with aplastic anemia, and she can completely relate to it.
Blood diseases, endless blood transfusions, endless plate transfusions!
Disinfect when you go out, disinfect when you come home, disinfect your bedroom, disinfect your living room, disinfect wherever you go!
There are also a lot of hormones, cyclosporine and antibiotics that we need to take every day!
She's had enough too!
So, after learning that "Avatrombopag" was effective in treating aplastic anemia, she almost immediately participated in the trial.
So far, she seems to have made the right bet.
Although "Ava" could not cure her, two months of taking the medicine had brought her platelets to almost normal levels.
About five minutes later, Li Bing received a reply message.
"There are currently six places available, so hurry up and go to Chengdu Third People's Hospital."
"Okay! I'll leave now!"
Miancheng is about an hour's drive from Chengdu. At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Bing arrived at the Third People's Hospital of Chengdu smoothly.
Then following Yan Xiaoduo’s prompt, he went directly to the hematology clinic and found a doctor named Li Xue.
Li Xue is an intern at the outpatient clinic. In addition to her normal department internship work, she is also responsible for the subject registration task of "Qingshan Avatropopa".
"Hello, are you Dr. Li Xue? I came here specifically to ask about the clinical trial of 'Qingshan Avatrombopag'..."
"This is mine Take a look at the medical records.”
Looking at the medical records handed over by Li Bing and listening to the familiar words, Li Xue, who had been busy all morning, took a deep breath.
In just two hours this morning, she heard similar words at least ten times!
But after a moment, she shook her head:
"Sorry, the second phase clinical trial of this drug just ended today, and we will not recruit subjects for the time being." Li Bing was stunned for a moment. , said anxiously after a moment:
"Doctor, did you make a mistake? I called specifically to ask this morning. Didn't I say there were six more?"
Li Xue had no choice but to explain:
"The one who got off work yesterday There were indeed 6 places left at that time, but there were five or six patients waiting to register before eight o'clock this morning. I have been busy with this all morning!"
After saying that, Li Xue felt like it! I can't help but sigh.
When "Avatrombopag Qingshan" first started to recruit patients, it was said that a lot of work had been done, and the patients were not willing to participate in the end.
But in the past two weeks, not only have the number of inquiries increased several times, but more and more people have taken the initiative to participate. Until today, people even queued up early in the morning for the last six places!
Of course she also knows the reason, and the patient really feels the effect!
Li Xue thought, and Li Bing became even more anxious.
I came today with great hope, determined to participate in the new drug trial.
"Doctor, please, can you help me increase the quota? I came by car from Miancheng early in the morning. I really need this medicine!"
Seeing Li Bing's pleading look, Li Xue also felt a little soft-hearted.
But she couldn't make the decision at all in this matter, so she could only shake her head and said:
"It's not that I won't help you. This is the rule of the pharmaceutical company, but don't be discouraged. The second phase of clinical trials is over. There are still three issues left."
"Hey..."
Li Bing sighed heavily in his heart. He is not an unreasonable person.
But just when he was at a loss, suddenly a young woman also wearing a mask came over.
"Are you Dr. Li Xue? I would like to ask, are you registering the clinical trial of 'Qingshan Avatrombopag'..."
Li Bing looked at it in surprise. At a glance, the young woman didn't expect that this person was also here for clinical trials.
It seems that Li Xue is not lying, "Qingshan Avatrimbopag Tablets" are indeed in high demand!
He immediately found a seat in the corridor and sat down. Just when he wanted to see how Li Xue would answer, another woman came over holding a child.
"Hello, are you Dr. Li Xue? I would like to ask about 'Avatrombopag Qingshan'..."
Li Xue is overwhelmed by the continuous arrival of patients, especially when she waits to inform everyone." After the second phase of recruitment for "Avatrombopag" Qingshan stopped, many patients immediately began to plead for it.
Even some patients from other places have some emotions in their words.
Li Xue had no choice but to comfort the patient while calling Zhang Yang for help.
“Don’t worry, everyone, the second clinical phase is over and there are three more phases. You can pay attention to the third phase at any time and sign up in advance when there is news.”
"Everyone will definitely be able to take the medicine!"
......
Zhang Yang usually works in the temporary office of the clinical trial center, which is only three to five minutes away from the outpatient clinic.
After receiving a call from Li Xue, he rushed to the outpatient clinic and saw at a glance that Li Xue was comforting five or six patients around him.
"Doctor, you just said that the second phase will end after the third phase. When will the third phase start? I really can't wait!"
"That's right, you always talk about the third phase. When will the third phase start?"
"Yes! Doctor, could you please tell the boss of the pharmaceutical company that I am really anxious to wait. If you can let me For the first three periods, I don’t need your subsidy, and I can even subsidize the meal subsidy and examination fees!”
Li Xue was stunned and immediately recognized that it was Li Bing who was speaking.
She shook her head hurriedly:
"This is not about money..."
Zhang Yang was standing nearby and could hear clearly, and suddenly his mind changed.
The third phase seems to be about money.
