Chapter 171 Recruiting Volunteers for Drug Testing

On July 7, after nearly two weeks of preparation, Huang Ke, the administrative director of the scientific research center, finished handling AIDS-related matters and came to Zhou Yu's office to report to him.

After listening to Huang Ke's report, Zhou Yu said with satisfaction: "The relevant patents have been registered, and we have obtained permission from the Health Commission and other relevant departments. We will formally recruit volunteers to conduct human experiments.

If the human experiment proves that the inducer has little side effects and can guide the human immune system to kill HIV in large quantities, then this drug will be formally produced. "

"Mr. Zhou, then I will formally issue an announcement on behalf of Spark Technology to recruit volunteers for drug testing." Huang Ke agreed with a smile.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that Huang Ke was about to leave, Zhou Yu immediately called him back.

The Institute of Life Sciences is recruiting volunteers for this experiment. It is completely different from ordinary reagents. Inducin is an unfamiliar protein. It is not known whether it will react with other components in the plasma when it is injected into the human body.

It is extremely dangerous and may cause death or cause other diseases.

Only after this kind of risk experiment, according to the experimental results, can the relevant medicine be manufactured, and the subsequent experiment can guarantee a certain degree of safety, which is similar to the conventional drug experiment.

Zhou Yu looked at Huang Ke, and solemnly explained: "When we recruit volunteers for drug testing, we must clearly state the risks they may encounter, and purchase high-cost health insurance for them.

The most important point is that volunteers must not be recruited through gray intermediaries. The benefits he saves are not as big as the risks. "

This kind of industrial chain that can bring huge benefits without labor is generally monopolized by the gray industrial chain.

For example, blood donors have blood heads, and people who are in urgent need of money are organized to donate blood, regardless of the health of blood donors.

There are also some drug leaders in the test drug industry chain. They use the new treatment method as an excuse to deceive some patients with difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

With the tens of thousands of dollars given by the pharmaceutical company, I tricked these patients into paying the price of their health to experiment with unknown risk drugs under development.

Intractable diseases such as hair loss, impotence, psoriasis, and hemophilia are areas where this drug is very active.

Baidu Psoriasis Bar, Hemophilia Bar, and Leukemia Bar were directly sold by Baidu, and the people who bought these post bars were practitioners of this kind of gray industry chain.

The psoriasis bar and other related skin disease post bars have already been sold, and the hemophilia bar and leukemia bar have received too much attention. The fierce resistance of netizens has aroused heated discussions, otherwise it is unknown how many victims have appeared.

Huang Ke said with a serious expression: "Mr. Zhou, please rest assured that I must recruit volunteers through formal channels and let the staff clearly inform the relevant risks.

We cooperate with life insurance to purchase life and health insurance of 100 million yuan for volunteers. As long as volunteers die or suffer from serious diseases, insurance companies will pay for them.

If it really causes long-term illness, our company's Spark Fund will also help volunteers. "

The Xinghuo Technology APP released an announcement to recruit volunteers for drug testing, and the Morningstar system sent push notifications to people who frequently browsed medical information.

Shi Baotian is a professional drug tester. He usually works as a porter in Yanjing. When the pharmaceutical factory recruits drug testers, he goes to test drugs.

He really has no choice. His son suffers from leukemia, and the daily hospitalization fee is only 6000 yuan. If the rescue is carried out, it will cost 1 yuan an hour.

He was just an ordinary farmer, and there was really nothing he could do. With the help of doctors and nurses, he also found charitable funds and online crowdfunding.

But this money can only solve the urgent needs, and it is not enough for the cost of his son's medical treatment.

Shi Baotian also knows that he is constantly harming his body by carrying out risky drug testing work.

But his health is worthless, and he doesn't feel like living a few years less. Money is the most important thing now.

Shi Baotian saw that the Xiaomi Smart Bracelet sent him a push message from Xinghuo Technology to recruit volunteers for drug testing.

The cost of the first phase is 20 yuan, and the volunteers will be given health insurance worth one million yuan.

It's just that the announcement has detailed information that this drug test is very risky and may be life-threatening.

Shi Baotian immediately signed up. One deal with Spark Technology was equivalent to six or seven deals for him. They were better at their own safety than other companies, so there was no reason not to choose Spark Technology.

In the WeChat group of AIDS patients, someone posted the Xinghuo Technology announcement to the group.

"Are there any seriously ill patients? This is probably your last chance.

Xinghuo Technology said in the announcement that regardless of the degree of AIDS, volunteers who participate in this drug trial can enjoy the same treatment as other volunteers. "

"Which pharmaceutical company is Xinghuo Technology? I haven't heard of it. It is still a Huaxia company. It is not very strong in drug research and development!
I only hope that new AIDS treatment medicines will enter the ranks of free medicines distributed by the state. The medicines I am taking now are not very effective, and I can only wait to die in the future. "

"Xinghuo Technology has also entered the field of AIDS research and development. I hope they can achieve better results."

"I want to participate in this drug trial. I am sorry for my parents to have this disease. Now the immune system is about to collapse. Maybe one day I will catch a cold and I will die soon.

Even if I die through the drug test, there are still 20 yuan in salary and 100 million yuan in insurance, which is enough for my parents to live well for the rest of the year. "

On July 7th, the AIDS project team led by Wang Xiaoxiao at Xinghuo Life Science Research Institute was ready for battle.

Volunteers recruited by Xinghuo Technology for the test of elicitor will come to the institute today.

Huang Ke explained to Wang Xiaoxiao: "We recruited 127 volunteers, including 57 AIDS patients, 50 HIV carriers, and 20 normal people.

We all signed agreements with these people that they would be compensated if they died accidentally during the drug trial. "

Wang Xiaoxiao showed a smiling face and said happily: "Thanks to Director Huang for his help. After the human experiment is over, we can collect the specific conditions of the inducin in the human body, and we can make a drug for the treatment of AIDS."

They were chatting, and the recruited volunteers had come to the hall of the Institute of Life Sciences one after another.

The ratio of male to female is basically the same. Except for children, the volunteers are distributed in all ages. It can be seen that they are strictly selected by Spark Technology.

The volunteers met for the first time as they walked toward the lobby.

A pretty man asked Shi Baotian: "Brother, are you sick too? Are you 0 or 1."

Shi Baotian cast a contemptuous look and said, "Go away, I'm a normal person."

A coquettish woman was walking in the queue, and she kept muttering: "My old lady, I am too unlucky to believe in the popular science propaganda of those bastards.

It is said that condoms can prevent AIDS. Every time my mother is introduced, I wear condoms, but I am still infected with such a troublesome disease.

As a result, the World Health Organization stated that using condoms correctly, the chance of contracting AIDS does not exceed 100/[-], but it is not [-]% absolutely preventable. I am really unlucky. "

A researcher at the Institute of Life Sciences saw that all the volunteers had arrived, and he said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet."

He then explained the risks to the volunteers in detail.

If volunteers have corresponding problems, who do they go to and how to deal with them.

After the Institute of Life Sciences clarified all the issues, it officially started the human experiment.
