Chapter 642: Clinical Trials!
After all, it has reached the current level, and death is only a matter of time, even if the drug does not work, they have nothing to lose, and what if this drug really works?
The list clearly listed the address and contact information of each patient, and Su Wan immediately handed over the list and asked the company's employees to start contacting one by one.
Hunter and Kayla have a lovely daughter, Judy, who is only three years old this year, and they should be a happy family, but unfortunately, just a few months ago, their daughter was diagnosed with cancer, and it was already in the terminal stage when it was detected!
Hunter and Kayla were just ordinary company employees, with modest incomes, and the cost of various surgeries and treatments quickly drained their savings, and they even owed more than $100,000 in debt.
It was Judy's condition that not only did not improve, but became more serious, and the doctor has said that there is no need to continue treatment.
They eventually had to give up the treatment, take Judy home, and do their best to accompany Judy so that she can go through the last period of her life happily.
At noon that day, Kayla was carefully feeding Judy, who was suffering from illness and was very weak and unable to eat on her own.
"Judy, take another bite."
Kayla held the spoon in front of Judy, but Judy refused to eat it with a bitter face.
"Mom, my stomach is starting to hurt again."
Kayla's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she knew that it was the cause of the cancer cells that had spread in her body.
Kayla resisted to keep herself from crying, but her heart was extremely sad, she didn't know how long her little angel would be with her.
A pair of large, warm hands pressed on her shoulders.
"It's going to be good, it's going to be good!"
Kayla turned her head to look at her husband, and in his eyes, she saw unyielding and determined!
Kayla knows that her husband has never given up on his daughter, and even after doctors tell them there is no way to treat it, he is constantly looking for new ways to treat cancer online.
During the day, they spend time at home with their daughter, and at night they work in bars and warehouses to earn money to treat their daughter's illness.
But so far, they still haven't found a new medicine that can keep their daughter alive, maybe there will be later, but their little angel may not be able to wait!
Just as Kayla was holding back the grief in her heart, pulling a smile on her face and planning to continue coaxing her daughter to eat, a phone rang suddenly.
"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! ……”
Hunter gently patted his wife on the shoulder and turned to pick up the phone.
"Hey, hello, this is Hunter's house."
"Hello, Mr. Hunter, I'm a customer service staff member at Aegis Biotech, you can call me Laura."
A gentle and melodious female voice sounded in the earpiece.
Hunter didn't know what the other party was doing, but he said politely.
"Hello, Miss Laura, I don't know what you called for something."
"Sorry to bother you, we are a biopharmaceutical company that has developed a new anti-cancer drug that can stop the spread and proliferation of cancer cells, and is equally effective for patients with advanced cancer, and now that this drug has entered the clinical trial stage, we learned about your daughter's condition, so we invited her to receive free treatment from our company."
Hunter couldn't help frowning after listening to Laura's words, he looked up almost all the new anti-cancer drugs that were being developed and tested on the Internet, but he had never heard of Aegis Biologics.
In addition, the effect of those new drugs is also very limited, and although the other party said that "it can prevent the spread and proliferation of cancer cells, and is also effective for patients with advanced cancer", it is his dream, but it also makes him feel very unrealistic, and he can't help but ask.
"You mean that your company has developed a drug that can cure cancer, even if it is terminal?"
Hunter didn't blindly believe the other party because he was in a hurry to cure his daughter, he felt that the other party was more like a liar, and maybe he would be asked to pay some deposit or something later.
"No, according to animal experiments, our drugs can only prevent the spread and proliferation of cancer cells, and under the action of the autoimmune system, cancer cells that have spread to the blood and other tissues of the body can be clear, but the tumors that have formed will not disappear, but as long as the drug is taken continuously, these tumors will be dormant and become similar to benign tumors, which will not affect physical health."
Laura's explanation didn't put Hunter at ease, and he thought that maybe the crooks knew that it was too unrealistic to claim a complete cure for cancer, and no one would believe it, so he made up such a tempting statement.
"Do I have to pay anything?"
Hunt's words were full of suspicion.
Laura naturally heard the other party's suspicion and said with a smile.
"You don't have to pay anything, instead, we'll pay you $100,000 for the trial at the end of the trial, and we'll pay $500,000 if the patient dies of cancer during the trial, which will be written into the contract."
Hearing this, Hunt became a little uncertain.
He inquired about a lot of new drugs that are in the clinical trial stage, and it is the practice of major pharmaceutical companies to pay a certain fee to patients participating in the trial, but it is usually not too high, that is, it is more than the salary of ordinary staff, 100,000 US dollars, even if it is a long-term trial for several months, it is already very high.
And if there is a contract, there is no need to worry that the other party is a liar, after all, the law in the United States is very developed, and everyone is used to finding a lawyer when signing a contract, and it is almost impossible to do anything about it, and since the other party can find out about his daughter's situation, he should also know about their current conditions, and he should not look for them if he cheats money.
But is there really a drug that can completely control cancer?
He hoped it was true, but he couldn't believe it.
"To be honest, I can't fully believe you, I've never heard of your company's name."
Hunter said straight to the point.
Laura's voice was still soft.
"I can understand that our company has just been created, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it, but I think you've heard of another company of ours."
"Oh?"
When Hunter heard this, he couldn't help but recall the name of the company that the other party had just said, it seemed to be called Aegis Creature? This name seems a little familiar.
Just as Hunter was trying to think about it, he listened to Laura on the other end of the phone say in a proud tone.
"Aegis Motor Company!"
