The ten patients who participated in the first phase of the experiment basically returned to normal life and work.
Some of the patients in the second phase have returned to normal work, and some have serious adverse reactions and are now recovering.
Patients in the third stage have just been discharged from the hospital and need to wait for three months before continuing to follow up.
However, the recovery of patients in the first and second stages can be roughly inferred that the recovery of patients in the third stage will not be too bad.
Therefore, after internal deliberations by the Department of Health, it was reported to the Executive Yuan.
Under normal circumstances, it takes 120 working days for the approval of a new drug to go on the market.
Because of the particularity of CAR-T cell therapy, the Department of Health has opened a green channel.
In this way, CAR-T cell therapy was approved at an unexpected speed.
The approval means that Dawu Hospital can be officially sold to the outside world.
In other words, profits can be generated.
Because of the novelty of CAR-T cell therapy, pricing has become a problem.
in the chairman's office.
"Su Dong, Director Chen has completed the statistics."
Gao Hai walked in with the document and handed it to Su Mu.
Su Mu opened it and couldn't help frowning.
Excluding the research and development costs of Dawu Hospital, the cost of CAR-T cell therapy has reached as much as 30.
This cost is still a conservative estimate.
Because there is no labor cost for Chen Siyi and others, only medical consumables and daily costs.
A patient needs a team of more than a dozen scientists to work together for at least two consecutive weeks.
Only in this way can a CAR-T cell be cultivated.
"Su Dong, why are you unhappy?" Gao Hai asked in confusion.
The success of CAR-T cell therapy research should be a good thing.
Then it was time to realize the economic benefits, why did Dong Su frown?
"Have you read the cost price?" Su Mu asked.
"I see." Gao Hai replied truthfully: "The cost of more than 30 yuan is indeed a bit high.
But this is also impossible.
Just cultivating CAR-T cells requires a lot of sophisticated instruments.
This is something that cannot be avoided. "
"How many patients can afford such an expensive cost?" Su Mu sighed.
"..."
Gao Hai didn't speak.
Is it more than 30 million?
For families above the middle class, not many.
As long as they can buy back a life, they are still willing.
But for more than 80% of low-income families in Longguo, that is an astronomical sum.
An astronomical figure enough to make them desperate!
Chapter 179
Su Mu was silent for a while, and then ordered: "Dean Gao, go and invite Director Chen here."
"Ok."
Ten minutes later, Chen Siyi came to Su Mu's office.
"Su Dong, you are looking for me." Chen Siyi asked.
"Director Chen, I want to ask you a question, is the cost of CAR-T cell therapy really uncontrollable?" Su Mu asked.
"That's right." Chen Siyi replied: "Currently the most critical factor restricting CAR-T cell therapy is that it cannot be mass-produced.
This is mainly because each person's condition is different, and each person's T cell structure is also different.
We need to formulate a corresponding treatment plan according to the specific situation of the patient.
The advantage of this is that it is more targeted and the healing effect is more obvious.
But the shortcomings are also obvious, the utilization rate of consumables and labor efficiency are not high.
The corresponding costs will remain high.
There is no solution.
It is necessary to develop a kind of universal T cell, which can destroy multiple types of cancer cells or a single type of cancer cells.
As long as we can find such T cells, we can mass produce them according to their characteristics.
The advantage of mass production is that the labor cost and the utilization rate of consumables will be greatly improved.
Correspondingly, the cost of CAR-T cell therapy will also drop. "
"Have you discovered the universal T cells you mentioned?" Su Mu asked.
"Our team has already started the research and development of universal T cells during the third phase of the experiment." Chen Siyi said: "We have already made a good start, but we still need later research."
"Then you continue to study." Su Mu replied: "Strive to break through this problem as soon as possible."
"Su Dong, I heard from Dean Gao that what you are worried about now is the issue of pricing." Chen Siyi continued: "You are worried that if the price is too high, many patients will be discouraged."
"Yes." Su Mu asked, "Does Director Chen have any good suggestions?"
"I suggest that you should set the price higher." Chen Siyi replied.
"How high should it be?" Su Mu asked.
"300 million!"
"How many!"
"300 million!" Chen Siyi emphasized: "Su Dong, you heard me right, I said 300 million!"
"Director Chen, are you right?" Su Mu said slightly angrily, "30 is an astronomical figure for most patients in Longguo.
300?
You are killing them. "
"Listen to me first." Chen Siyi calmly said: "Under normal circumstances, after approval, we can consider conducting Phase IV clinical trials.
It is also possible not to proceed.
The number of people conducting Phase IV clinical trials generally requires more than 2000 cases.
Our Dawu Hospital can promote Phase IV clinical trials for patients with a slightly worse economic situation in China. "
Su Mu is not a fool, and he understood the twists and turns as soon as he heard it.
What is Chen Siyi's move called?
It's called stealing from the rich and helping the poor.
Who is the price of 300 million for?
It's for rich people with cancer.
There are so many billionaires around the world.
Which one is not the one who spares his life.
In their eyes, as long as it can save their lives, let alone 300 million.
3000 million, they all paid [-] million.
The price of 300 million that Chen Siyi mentioned was for the wealthy people around the world.
Now, only Longguo research in the world has succeeded in CAR-T cell therapy.
Only Dawu Hospital can perform CAR-T cell therapy.
Many rich people suffering from cancer have no other choice but Dawu Hospital.
This is simply selling to the market, and the decision is entirely in the hands of Dawu Hospital.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, what if you don't cook sheep and slaughter cattle?
Don't you feel sorry for your hard work?
And what about people with slightly weaker economic strength?
They can completely achieve the goal of free or low-cost treatment through Phase IV clinical trials.
You should know that the number of people required for Phase IV clinical trials is more than 2000.
What does the above mean?
It means no limit!
You can be 1 people.
You can also be 10 people.
It could even be 100 million people.
This number can grow infinitely as long as you want.
"Director Chen, you are really a chivalrous doctor." Su Mu smiled.
"Hero doctor? What do you mean?" Chen Siyi asked suspiciously.
"Isn't that obvious? Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor!" Su Mu smiled and said, "However, this robbing from the rich and giving to the poor also has to be divided into targets.
Do you think this will work? "
Su Mu thought for a while, and said, "I set the price at 500 million!"
"..."
Chen Siyi glanced at Su Mu and thought.
Dong Su's heart is darker than mine!
"Then set up a lottery mechanism." Su Mu said with a smile: "As long as you are from Longguo and use CAR-T cell therapy, you can draw discount coupons at our Dawu Hospital with your official Longguo certificate.
Coupons are up to [-]% off. "
A discount?
Chen Siyi did the math, a discount of 500 million is 50!
If you are from Longguo, cancer can be cured with a minimum of 50 yuan, which is a fair price.
"Then set a 100% discount coupon with a [-]% chance of winning." Su Mu asked with a smile, "Director Chen, what do you think?"
"..."
Chen Siyi only felt a group of crows screaming above his head.
Su Dong?
Are you sure that if you do this, foreigners will not think that you are deliberately taking them for granted?
but.
how to say?
Su Dong's rules are really fucking cool! ! !
On the same day, the relevant announcement of Dawu Hospital came out.
There are two in total, one is to carry out the fourth phase of clinical trials, and patients can apply through the official website of Dawu Hospital.
This time, Dawu Hospital has made unprecedented requirements on the economic status of patients.
