I really don't want to be a doctor

Chapter 445 Dead Horses as Living Horse Doctors
Ke An smiled shyly, and said, "I hope Mr. Jing will take care of you in the future."

In fact, he had just graduated a few years ago, and he happened to have the opportunity to be Zang Hongfeng's secretary. His luck was beyond the charts.

After Zang Hongfeng was promoted, he was also sent to the county health committee to start training.

However, although Ke An's experience is shallow, the days he followed Zang Hongfeng made him believe in one thing.

That is to establish a good relationship with Jing Xiaoran!

Since Zang Hongfeng got to know Jing Xiaoran, his official career has been smooth and smooth. Originally, there was some suspense about this promotion, but after the trip to Guinea in Africa, Zang Hongfeng added an extremely important bargaining chip to himself.

"Brother Ke, you are being polite. It is you who took care of me." Jing Xiaoran said with a smile.

The county where Ke An was transferred happened to be Jing Xiaoran's hometown.Usually, if something happened in his hometown, it might bother him.

"Xiao Ran, you young people should help each other in the future." Zang Hongfeng said with a smile, "I like you two very much."

It happened to be a happy event, and Zang Hongfeng was very happy. From time to time, he told Jing Xiaoran about the interesting things about his youth, and recalled the glorious years in the past.

But he seemed to be busy with other things, so he didn't drink.

When talking about Academician Xu Li, Zang Hongfeng also noticed that Jing Xiaoran didn't seem to be interested in this matter, so he changed the topic after a few words.

"Xiao Ran, actually I came to you this time, and I have something else I want to trouble you with." Zang Hongfeng said suddenly.

"Director Zang, tell me." Jing Xiaoran looked up at Zang Hongfeng.

Zang Hongfeng paused and said, "I have a relative who has a tumor."

Jing Xiaoran frowned.

Melanoma is a tumor derived from malignant transformation of melanocytes, with a high degree of malignancy
But he got a tumor, so come to him for this matter?
With Zang Hongfeng's interpersonal relationship, it should be very simple for him to ask someone to see a doctor.

Zang Hongfeng continued: "Melanoma...advanced stage."

Jing Xiaoran looked at Zang Hongfeng suspiciously: "Director, are you looking for me for this matter?"

"Xiao Ran, listen to me first." Zang Hongfeng shook his head slightly, his voice a little lonely, "This relative was diagnosed with melanoma last year and has been treated in China, but the tumor stage is relatively late and the effect is not satisfactory. medical records."

Ke An took out a stack of medical records from the briefcase beside him.

Jing Xiaoran took it and started to read.

The pathological type of this patient is nodular melanoma.

This is the most malignant of all melanomas.The course of the disease progresses rapidly, generally lasting several months to 1 year, and ulcers and lymph node metastasis occur earlier.

Zang Hongfeng continued: "During the Spring Festival last year, his condition continued to deteriorate, so he went to the United States for treatment."

The United States leads the world in research on cancer drug therapy, especially in the direction of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

"How is the treatment effect?" Jing Xiaoran asked.

Zang Hongfeng shook his head, sighed and said, "It's not good, this disease was discovered too late, and it has metastasized to various organs throughout the body, so the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is very poor."

Jing Xiaoran didn't say a word, although his major is not tumor, but he knows something about melanoma more or less.

The earlier the tumor is found, the better the treatment effect. Once the tumor metastasizes, the patient's survival time will not be long.

"However, I heard from a friend in the United States that recently some major international pharmaceutical companies are developing new anti-tumor drugs." Zang Hongfeng paused, and said slowly: "In some early clinical studies, it was found This is useful for melanoma and advanced lung cancer."

Hearing this, Jing Xiaoran couldn't help interjecting: "Director, the new anti-tumor drug you mentioned is an immune checkpoint inhibitor, right?"

"Well, that's the drug, but it's not on the market yet." Zang Hongfeng said helplessly, "It hasn't even gone through phase 3 clinical trials. No matter how rich we are, we can't buy this drug."

A drug must go through at least three phases of clinical trials before it can be marketed.

It is possible to skip this procedure unless there are some emergencies, such as the outbreak of some major medical safety incidents.

"I heard from friends in the United States that there is only one laboratory in China that is doing drug research in this area..." Zang Hongfeng looked up at Jing Xiaoran, "It is your Shenzhou laboratory."

Jing Xiaoran nodded calmly: "That's right."

In fact, after hearing this, Jing Xiaoran already knew Zang Hongfeng's intention.

"Director, do you want to..."

Jing Xiaoran frowned, he didn't finish his sentence, he believed that Zang Hongfeng understood what he meant.

Zang Hongfeng took out a form from the medical records, which was full of English.

"This is the form that my relative applied to participate in the American AstraZeneca clinical trial research." Zang Hongfeng said, "But because the research in the United States is all Caucasian, and the yellow race is not included for the time being, and there are other restrictions, this The application to participate in the experimental study was rejected."

Jing Xiaoran took the application form, which recorded the patient's condition in detail, as well as the request to join the clinical trial research.

The last column of the application form was politely rejected by AstraZeneca.

"Director, to be honest, participating in the Phase 3 clinical trial is entirely based on luck." Jing Xiaoran frowned.

"Hey, I know. To put it bluntly, a dead horse is a living horse doctor." Zang Hongfeng said, "I don't think there will be many days without treatment. There may be some hope for participating in new drug experiments."

Jing Xiaoran immediately asked: "So you want your relative to participate in the Phase 3 clinical trial of the drug developed by our laboratory?"

Zang Hongfeng nodded heavily and said, "That's right!"

In fact, for all clinical trials, it is difficult to recruit patients and requires strict screening criteria.

Moreover, the side effects of such unmarketed drugs are generally unknown, and not many patients are willing to participate.

Especially in China's domestic environment, few patients take the initiative to participate in clinical trials and are unwilling to play the role of "guinea pigs".

"Director, to tell you the truth, as long as your relative's basic requirements are met, and the family members agree and are willing to take risks, then I can provide a quota for him to participate in this phase 3 clinical trial." Jing Xiaoran said.

Before Zang Hongfeng had time to say thank you, Jing Xiaoran continued: "But now there are two problems. First, the immune checkpoint inhibitors in our laboratory are still a long way from the Phase 3 clinical trials. Second, this After all, it is a clinical experiment, if you participate in the laboratory, then the next treatment method will be based on us. And if there are serious side effects, we will suspend the experiment at any time!"

"Okay! I agree!" Zang Hongfeng looked at Jing Xiaoran gratefully.
