If we say that in the face of the advent of Sanqing's new anti-AIDS drug, netizens are just watching the excitement.
Pharmaceutical companies are taking a look at this and reassessing their new drug research and development plans.
Then, drug regulatory agencies in various countries are overjoyed to see a new broad road.
Suddenly, many national food and drug administrations contacted local new companies in Sanqing, hoping that this new and effective drug for treating AIDS could be clinically launched in these countries as soon as possible.
When the news came back to Wei Kang, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Hmph, so many countries, dozens in total, all want us to do clinical work there. It's a great idea. I don't need to pay for the clinical work?"
"You also said that you can directly go through the approval procedures for Phase III clinical trials. Once it passes, it can be put on the market as quickly as possible. Haha, it sounds like I am so rare."
"Everyone has bad intentions and just wants to have sex for free!"
Of course, he will not conduct clinical trials in these countries. It is meaningless, because except for a few developed countries, other countries in the world basically recognize the FDA certification of Eagle Country.
So as long as we get the FDA done, we can be exempted from inspection or expedited review in many countries.
Then get the European Food and Drug Administration, and finally get it certified in a country with a relatively large and closed market like Sakura Country, which will be enough to smooth the world.
Because AIDS is highly contagious and has endangered public health, all countries have attached great importance to it, not only to ensure the health of grassroots people, but also to ensure the safety of decision-makers like them.
Therefore, they are more urgent about this drug than specific drugs for treating other terminal diseases, such as cancer.
After all, except for crazy people, no one would be willing to take risks with their own health.
Wei Kang looked at the list of applicant countries and raised his eyebrows.
"Very good. The Eagle Country will be ranked first. It can be carried out simultaneously with the domestic Phase III clinical trials. The European countries, the Sakura Country, the Woolly Bear, and that's it."
"Other countries refused at first, especially these countries in the Philippines. They are addicted to picking up wool. They all spoke loudly and asked to expand the number of clinical people. It is best to do the third and fourth clinical phases together. Each country needs the quota. It’s tens of thousands, and you know there are a lot of people with AIDS in your country, so there’s no need to do this.”
Wei Kang couldn't help complaining in his heart and made a decision quickly.
There are many AIDS patients in Western countries such as Eagle Country and Europa. They basically contribute to the global market of more than 30 billion US dollars. They must be the first to conduct overseas clinical trials.
The other markets that are relatively large and require separate drug regulatory certification cannot be given up. The number of people can be smaller, the time can be slower, and they can even be placed in the second batch and wait until the FDA passes it.
In this way, the third phase of clinical trials mainly takes the fast track in China and the Eagle Country. The number of people does not need to be too large, just a few thousand people. Even if the clinical costs are relatively high, the overall cost is still controllable.
After all, AIDS patients are eager to get treatment. As long as they can get free treatment, they will come running over like rabbits with red eyes.
Unlike many other drug clinical trials, drug testers have to be paid a lot of money to hire them.
As for Europa, it only requires one country to conduct clinical trials.
You can consider Gaul. After all, the men and women in this country are famous for being romantic, and it is also one of the areas where AIDS is most severely ravaged.
As for the Philippines, which accounts for 70% of the world's HIV infection rate, he ignored it for the time being.
"At this rate, it will take at least half a year to complete the third phase of clinical trials, and it is estimated that it will be launched towards the end of the year."
"Don't worry about it overseas. Naturally, there are people who are more anxious than me. In China, other clinical trials are conducted in hospitals, but for anti-AIDS clinical trials, it is best to cooperate with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
"Because the stigma of this disease is so great, most HIV carriers keep their condition secret, and doctors will not disclose it. Therefore, if you want to find patients in this area to conduct clinical trials, you still have to contact the HIV Prevention Center."
"However, in order to go to market as soon as possible, it seems that I can try a new solution."

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Director Han walked into the office sweating profusely and sat down on the chair.
In recent years, the number of HIV infections has continued to soar, and patients are becoming younger and younger.
For this reason, he was extremely busy every day, but every time he reported on his work, he was severely criticized by his boss.
"It's really unlucky to be scolded by the boss again. Nowadays, young people are having more and more fun, and the number of infections is rising day by day. What can I do?"
Director Han was filled with resentment, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
Before he could swallow the water, the office door was pushed open hard.
The secretary's excited voice sounded: "Director, good news, Sanqing has developed a new drug that can eliminate the HIV virus and wants to cooperate with us on Phase III clinical trials."
"puff!"
Director Han squirted out a mouthful of water. He had no time to clean it up. He stood up in shock and asked, "What's going on?"
The secretary repeated it again, this time she emphasized: "Mr. Wei of Sanqing personally called and wants to discuss cooperation with you in detail."
Bang!
Director Han patted the table and said loudly: "It's a good thing, it's a good thing, hurry up and agree."
He then curiously asked: "But why does he want to talk to me in person? Free drug treatment is a great thing for AIDS prevention and control. There is no way we will not agree."
The secretary shook his head and said, "I didn't tell us the details."
"Okay, then you call him and I'll talk to him personally." Director Han remembered Wei Kang's reputation in the industry and did not refuse.
The call was quickly connected, and a clear and bright voice rang.
"Hello, Director Han, sorry to bother you."
"It's okay. Mr. Wei of Sanqing is really like a thunderbolt. He is young and promising. I have admired him for a long time." Director Han said with a smile.
"Haha, you're welcome. You must be busy too, so I'll just tell you." Wei Kang said straight to the point.
"Generally speaking, we can design our own plans for clinical trials and then select suitable patients, so we have greater autonomy. But this time when we cooperate with the AIDS Center, we may not be able to make the final decision, so I have some demands and would like to ask you for more Take care of it.”
Director Han thought about it in his mind and felt that the other party would not make any outrageous requests, so he said kindly.
"It's okay. Just tell us. We will definitely consider reasonable requests." He did not agree or refuse, intending to listen first and then speak.
"We have two demands. First, we want to treat infants, young children and mothers first, and put these people into the first batch of clinical quotas. It is really pitiful for them to be infected. I want to give them the opportunity first."
"Secondly, for those who were accidentally infected, especially those who were infected by their spouses who concealed their condition after marriage, I also want to give them the opportunity to participate in clinical trials first."
After hearing these two requests, Director Han immediately felt relieved and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei is still very sympathetic. These patients with accidental infections are indeed pitiful. I can agree and try to inform them to participate in clinical trials first." .”
"Yes, these people are really pitiful. They were clean and self-sufficient, but they were deceived by the people around them and got sick. They are so innocent, so I will try my best to help them."
"On the contrary, there are other people who get sick and harm their relatives. Not only do they not tell their spouses, but they also give birth to a child. It is really a heinous crime for the child to be born with this disease. I will not give them any clinical quota. of."
As Wei Kang spoke, his tone became a little lower.
Director Han smiled and said nothing. He couldn't say much about this kind of thing, but young people have a sense of righteousness and can't stand the many tragedies in the world. This is normal.
However, Wei Kang's next words immediately made his eyes widen and his face turned pale.
"Director Han, please forgive my presumption, I would like to ask, when will the spouses of AIDS patients have the right to know?"
"If you test positive for HIV during a marriage but don't tell your spouse, isn't this obviously artificially creating new AIDS patients? Or even artificially creating AIDS babies?"
Director Han suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and hesitated: "Well, the patient's privacy must be protected. We solemnly advise patients to inform their spouses every time."
Romance
"So, co-authorship depends entirely on the patient's consciousness, right? No wonder the HIV infection rate is getting higher and higher?" Wei Kang sneered.
Director Han was silent.
"Director Han, actually I don't have a problem with you, but I think this is really unfair to many healthy people, and it can be regarded as causing personal harm to them, not to mention those babies."
"Hey, every time I see such a case, I feel very sad. I feel that my hard work in developing drugs to eliminate the HIV virus is meaningless. No matter how effective drugs are developed, it is always impossible to avoid the spread of the virus and to stop these AIDS. Babies continue to be made and this feeling of powerlessness is really uncomfortable.”
Wei Kang said emotionally.
Director Han comforted him: "Don't worry, aren't we working together to eliminate AIDS? Especially now that your new drug has come out, there is a glimmer of hope for the complete elimination of the HIV virus."
"It's a pity that the speed is still too slow. There are more than one million patients."
Wei Kang sighed and said, then he paused for a few seconds and asked in a seductive tone.
"Director Han, what do you think if I say that I can help you completely eliminate the HIV virus and cure these one million patients?"
"Will it affect your work performance?"
"What?" Director Han suddenly sat up straight, his mouth was dry and his heart was burning.
He is troubled by the increasing epidemic of AIDS. This is a major disease control issue. If he can completely solve it during his tenure, the contribution will be huge and cannot be summed up simply by the words "smooth rise to success".
“Mr.
He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and emphasized every word to express his attitude.
"Haha, Director Han must have read the Phase II clinical report of this drug. As long as this drug is taken for a long time, the virus in the body will be completely eliminated and will no longer be contagious. In a sense, it is Completely cured.”
"As long as existing patients continue to take the medicine, they no longer have to worry about healthy people being infected. Doesn't this problem have been completely solved?"
"Of course you also know that after HIV virus fragments are embedded in DNA, it is difficult to completely eliminate it, so patients must take lifelong medication. However, we have continued to develop related genetic drugs and hope to completely solve this problem."
Director Han pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's true. So as long as our prevention center controls the existing patients from the source and keeps them taking medicine, we can eliminate them from the source."
"Cure all the carriers so that they are no longer contagious. Wouldn't it be fine? People will no longer be afraid of such people." Wei Kang said with a smile.
"What you say makes sense, but the cost of putting a million people on medication for life is quite high."
Director Han adjusted his glasses and began to think about another problem.
"Although we have a 'four frees and one care' policy for AIDS patients, the drugs we provide are not the latest and most effective. They have many limitations. Many patients have adverse reactions after taking them, and they have to pay for them. Buy overpriced medicine.”
"At present, the free first- and second-line drugs provided by our prevention center are basically drugs with expired patents and are cheap. Each patient only needs a few hundred yuan a month. However, those self-paid drugs are quite expensive, costing up to three yuan a month. One thousand yuan is ten times the cost of free medicine.”
At this point, he smiled: "So, after all, we still have to look at the pricing of Sanqing's new drugs."
Wei Kang also smiled: "Since it is my proposal, the price is easy to negotiate. I am willing to give up part of my interests in exchange for the health of the people across the country."
“If it were centralized procurement by the CDC, I would be willing to provide new drugs at the price of free drugs.”
"Seriously!" Director Han stood up excitedly, his voice starting to tremble.
"It's absolutely true," Wei Kang said resolutely: "However, in the long run, it is better to include it in medical insurance. It is best to give free drugs to those who are accidentally infected and those with financial difficulties."
"I can't bear to see these innocent people being infected, especially those babies with AIDS, so I want to do my part for them."
Director Han nodded and said: "Since Mr. Wei is so generous, this method should be no problem in principle. Some details need to be discussed and added."
"Isn't your drug still in the third clinical phase? It will take at least half a year to be launched on the market. During this time, we will come up with specific solutions."
"Of course, during this period, we will also carry out necessary publicity to let those people know that they must receive treatment and cannot maliciously conceal and spread it, otherwise they will lose the opportunity to obtain free medicine in the future."
"As long as those people know that this disease can be completely cured, they will definitely be willing to cooperate."
"However, it's really embarrassing that such a good drug turns out not to make much money."
Director Han said apologetically.
"It's okay. I can sell the food at a high price abroad. There are more than 30 million AIDS patients abroad. It's enough for me to earn their money."
Wei Kang laughed and said: "There are few people in the country, and even a small change is not enough. Moreover, they are all compatriots. They can't make much money in the first place. As long as they can make back their money over time, that's enough."
Director Han was immediately filled with admiration: "Mr. Wei, you are so noble and upright. You are sacrificing your ego to fulfill your greater self."
Wei Kang chuckled: "This disease was originally introduced from abroad, and it is not a local disease. In fact, all patients in the country are victims. It is said that every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. I will find these sources of transmission to make money from them. , which can be regarded as seeking justice for all the people.”
Director Han couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Mr. Wei is right, this is the right thing to do."
