Chapter 40 Open Clinical Trials
Sure enough, as Chen Hongsheng expected, the next day, all major mainstream media reported the news that Huaguo's "Star Pharmaceutical Company" had successfully developed a special drug "prebiotic" for the eradication of cancer.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all major comprehensive websites of Shijie have set up columns on the topic of "prebiotics", and launched a heated discussion with the propositions of both sides.
However, the vast majority of netizens who actually participated in the discussion were skeptical about the authenticity of the drug "prebiotics" that can treat cancer like a cold, of course, this is after removing Chen Hongsheng's "black" statements and statistics after following the post.
That night, the TV talk shows of Shijie's major media all had face-to-face debates and discussions with medical experts about the news. Most medical experts and netizens agree that they are skeptical about the efficacy of "prebiotics".
Most people think that the "Star Company" is grandstanding and self-hype, and the moderator also puts his position on the side of the majority, and together with most experts, he calls on governments to exert pressure on the Chinese government and punish such companies that have no sense of social responsibility and social morality.
Well-known media in major countries have issued statements that they will send their own gold medal reporters to China to follow up and report with the cancer patients who have signed up. Major medical institutions have also announced that they will send medical experts to China to monitor and observe the effectiveness and authenticity of the drug.
Under the pressure of public opinion from the media of various countries, the Shijie Health Organization held a press conference in the afternoon to respond to the application of Huaguo Liaodong Star Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Seven experts in pharmaceutical, pathology, laboratory, clinical medicine and other disciplines will be appointed to comprehensively follow up and supervise the clinical shiyan of "probiotics". The results will be announced to Shijie in due course.
The successful development of "prebiotic" cancer treatment drugs has become a lifesaver for advanced cancer patients for a while, and cancer patients who have not been viable for a few months to spread cancer cells are one of the most convinced of the therapeutic effect of biological antibiotic "probiotics".
In just 24 hours from noon on March 29 to noon on March 30, more than 10,000 patients registered online. Star Pharma had to temporarily close the registration page on its website.
On the evening of the 30th, Liaodong Star Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced on its website the list of 100 cancer patients from all over Shijie and the media who followed the patients who were selected to participate in the clinical trial of "probiotics". At the same time, it was announced that the first phase of treatment will start at the Lido Hotel in Fengjing on April 3, and it is hoped that patients and media participating in the clinical trial Shiyan will rush to the headquarters of the Fengjing company or the Lido Hotel before the 3rd.
Shijie Health Organization and Huaguo Food and Drug Administration received a fax of notification from Liaodong Star Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at the same time.
Since March 31, as domestic cancer volunteers who have participated in clinical Shiyan have been staying at the Lido Hotel, domestic and foreign journalists have begun to flock to Fengjing City.
Every day, more and more people are focusing on the vicinity of the Lido Hotel, including not only domestic and foreign media reporters, but also a large number of domestic and foreign patients with early-stage cancer and their families.
Television vehicles from the domestic media set up camp nearby, crowding the roads around the already narrow Lido Hotel.
The Fengjing City Traffic Police Detachment sent a large number of police forces to maintain traffic order in the vicinity, but it still made residents living nearby complain, and the mayor received a large number of complaints on the phone, but the difficulty of solving the problem was increasing, and Zuihou could only close the nearby roads to motor vehicles.
Reporters who arrived early stopped Star staff and the families of volunteers everywhere in the hope of getting the inside scoop. But these ordinary staff and patients' families know very little about "prebiotics", and it is difficult to get newsworthy news.
On the afternoon of the 2nd, a group of seven people from the Shijie Health Organization and eight people from the Huaguo Food and Drug Administration arrived at the Lido Hotel successively, and were warmly welcomed and warmly entertained by all the senior executives of Liaodong Star Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. headed by Chen Ning and Chen Hongsheng.
In the evening, a treatment plan announcement meeting was held with representatives of the Shijie Health Organization, the Huaguo Food and Drug Administration, the Fengjing Hospital affiliated to Huaguo Medical University and the well-known medical institutions of Shijie.
Star informed all parties about the specific treatment options and schedule. Fengjing Hospital affiliated to Huaguo Medical University introduced the preparations for the phase 1 clinical trial of "prebiotic" drugs in cooperation with Star Company, and said that the hospital will dispatch special laboratory and inspection personnel and special equipment to participate in the clinical work.
Star Company and Fengjing Hospital affiliated to Huaguo Medical University agreed to the proposal that the participants could participate in the entire treatment and examination process.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on April 3, Ms. Chen Qiuyu, spokesperson of Liaodong Star Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., announced to the reporters present in the temporary press conference hall of the Lido Hotel that 92 of the 100 volunteers who participated in the phase 1 clinical trial of the "prebiotic" new drug Shiyan have arrived, and 2 of the other 8 people died before departure, and the remaining 6 people are on the way and are expected to arrive later today.
This morning, all patients will be arranged to go to Fengjing Hospital affiliated to Huaguo Medical University for examination. The whole inspection process will be open and transparent, and journalists are welcome to supervise it. Representatives of the Shijie Health Organization announced that they would be involved in the laboratory examination process for 92 patients.
Until 12 o'clock in the evening of the 3rd, 92 cancer patients and 6 patients arrived later, a total of 98 people, all of whom had completed the physical examination under the supervision of WHO and expert reporters.
Immediately, Star announced the past medical records of all patients and the results of this laboratory examination on the company's official website. It was printed and distributed to each reporter for the reporter to compare the results before and after the patient's treatment.
According to the patient's medical records and the results of this examination, 89 of the 98 patients had cancer cells that had spread to all important organs throughout the body. According to the medical profession, if there are no accidents, the survival time of this person is less than half a year. The other 9 people would not have survived for more than a year without surgical resection of the lesion.
The open, transparent and meticulous arrangements of Star Company have been unanimously praised by all reporters, and even now those reporters who think that Star Company has deceived the world and stolen its reputation have begun to place high hopes on "prebiotics".
If "prebiotics" can completely cure cancer, it will be one of the greatest inventions of this century, and will benefit thousands of cancer patients, and these journalists will be witnesses to this great event.
On the morning of the 4th, Ms. Chen Qiuyu announced to reporters that from today, all patients will be treated with a two-day "probiotic" infusion.
On April 6, a comprehensive medical examination will be conducted again. The therapeutic effect of "prebiotics" will be announced to reporters at 8 p.m. on the 6th.
