Chapter 485 Medicine Head

After the approval of human clinical trials is completed, the next step is to recruit people from the society.

There are three phases of human clinical trials.

The first phase of the trial is to observe the safety and metabolism of the drug and needs to be tested in healthy people.

Generally speaking, the first phase of a new drug trial is the most dangerous. Before that, experiments were done on animals. No problems with animals does not mean that there are no problems with human use.

How many new drugs are stuck at this stage and eventually rejected.

Therefore, every new drug brought to the market requires many tests and trials before it finally becomes a drug that is brought to the market and oriented towards patients.

New drug research and development is a project with high investment, high risk, long cycle, fierce competition and high profit.

According to some big data statistics, it takes an average of 15 years for new drug research and development from the identification, optimization, and clinical trials of lead compounds in the initial laboratory research to the final placement in the medicine cabinet for sale, and the success rate is only 0.01~0.02%.

According to statistics, it takes an average of 6.6 billion US dollars, 7 million hours of work, 6585 trials and the joint efforts of 423 researchers to produce a new drug.

It can be seen how difficult it is to produce a new drug.

It didn't take long for the universal medicine for cancer treatment to be available in Xingchen Pharmaceuticals. It was mainly because Hou Yaolin and the others had already completed all the work when they got the information on the universal medicine for cancer treatment. Now, the universal medicine for cancer treatment produced by Hou Yaolin is just a process and consumes Funding, number of trials, etc. are far less high.

Although the general medicine for cancer treatment is only a process, this process must be done.

But don't worry, as long as there is money, there are professional drug testers willing to do this work.

The second and third phases are to observe the effectiveness of the drug, and it is necessary to select real patients for testing.

Just like this universal drug for cancer, all cancer patients are treated, no matter what kind of cancer it is, it is relatively easy to find this type of patient.

After all, everyone knows that cancer is a terminal illness. Only a small number of people are found to be cured in the early and mid-term with existing drug treatment, and those in the advanced stage are basically waiting to die.

As long as there is this hope, no one wants to die.

So testing drugs seems to be troublesome, but it is actually a relatively simple matter.

In the evening, on the professional website, Xingchen Pharmaceutical released the news about the recruitment of the first phase human clinical trial of the universal drug for cancer.

Drug testing organizations have existed in China for more than ten or twenty years, especially with the development of network communication technology in recent years, there are more such organizations.

These organizations are distributed in some large cities, and the number of people across the country reaches tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

These people all have their own connections, and it can be said that when there is news that a new drug needs clinical trials, they can all get the news.

Yang Chengfeng, thirty-five years old this year, is a drug head lurking near Hangzhou University City. The drug head is also the organizer or intermediary of the drug test family.

Yang Chengfeng was also a graduate student at a certain university in the past. He was born in a poor rural area and has five younger brothers and sisters at home.

At that time, he was admitted to the postgraduate of Zhejiang Medical University, which is a very good major, but in order to let him go to university, the family was already smashing pots and selling iron to supply him to school.

During his college years, he held several jobs and won various scholarships, but it was still impossible to get enough tuition fees in this way.

As the start of the semester is getting closer and closer, if the tuition fees cannot be raised, Yang Chengfeng may have to give up his studies.

Yang Chengfeng was desperate at that time and could only live up to his parents' expectations.

Later, a fellow villager met a fellow at a fellowship meeting and knew that Yang Chengfeng was in financial difficulties. He said that there was a good job introduced to him, which could solve his current problem, that is, to become a drug tester.

Yang Chengfeng's own profession is to study medicine. Of course, he knows that doing this kind of drug test is a very dangerous job.

But, apart from this method, what other way can I solve my problem?

Yang Chengfeng gritted his teeth and finally became a member of the trial medicine family.

I have to say that the salaries of the drug testers were very high, and the fellow at that time did not cheat him, and even did not charge him for the intermediary fee. In the end, he successfully obtained 20,000 yuan and solved his tuition problem.

He got 20,000 yuan just by cooperating with the pharmaceutical company to do a few experiments. This is definitely a huge profit temptation for Yang Chengfeng, who only spends 300 to 400 yuan a month.

Yang Chengfeng also knew the danger of testing drugs, but if there was such a "simple and convenient" opportunity to get a lot of economic income, he couldn't bear it any longer.

During the first and second years of research, Yang Chengfeng went to be a drug tester nearly ten times, and received a total of about 50,000 yuan.

The price of each test drug is different, and there will be different prices according to the nature of the drug.

50,000 yuan for ten trials is actually a relatively high price.

Because except for the first time that fellow villagers knew about Yang Chengfeng's financial difficulties and gave him special support, the next nine times, he never had this opportunity again.

It is also Yang Chengfeng who is more fortunate. He has tried drugs ten times without causing too many side effects, but he also knows that if he continues, there may be accidents. He has given up the idea of ​​continuing to be a drug tester in his heart.

Although Yang Chengfeng can't be a drug tester, he can organize others to do this, and then collect the commission himself.

Yang Chengfeng compared the income of the first drug test family himself with the income of the following times. He knew that the price of this intermediary was not low, and it was even higher than his own.

Thinking of this, Yang Chengfeng's mind became active, and he worked hard, but instead made a lot of money for others, it is better to do it himself.

After so many trials, he also understood the process of the trial and the price of the trial.

Do what he thinks, he himself is a poor student, and he knows the psychology of these people.

Immediately, when he learned that a certain pharmaceutical company had a Phase I trial of a new drug, he pulled up a group of poor students in the school, and explained the relevant situation without coercion.

Moreover, the students in this school are all medical students, and they know these risks themselves. Just like him, the people he recruits are willing to become drug testers.

This time, Yang Chengfeng organized 20 classmates to participate in the new drug trial.

In addition to deducting the expenses of the trial medicine family, he himself received 30,000 yuan.

Looking at the 30,000 yuan in his hand, he was very excited. He seemed to see a broad avenue spreading forward under his feet.

With the first time, there will be a second time, a third time, and countless times.

After becoming the head of the drug test family, Yang Chengfeng's living standard has risen.
