After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 14 Avengers Alliance

Just when Beifeng Pharmaceutical noticed Zhang Yang and Ren Xiaomin, the second phase clinical trial of "Qingshan Avatrombopag" was nearing completion.

This clinical trial involves a total of 105 subjects in Phase I and Phase II. Currently, 90 patients have been recruited, leaving the last vacancies, which is the last group.

Here is a brief explanation.

Clinical trials are generally conducted in batches or groups. For example, the Phase I and II clinical trials of "Qingshan Avatrombopag" are designed to recruit 105 people. We cannot wait until all 105 people are found before starting the clinical trial.

Therefore, generally when 10-15 people are gathered, they will be grouped together and start clinical trials.

This can save pharmaceutical companies time in clinical trials. Secondly, the difference between the "control group" and the "experimental group" can be analyzed more intuitively and clearly in a group manner.

Of course, this is not absolute. There are many drugs that can be taken by a single person at any time.

There are a total of seven groups of "Qingshan Avatrombopag" this time. Currently, the first three groups have completed the two-month phase II clinical trial.
Next, we just have to wait for the last four groups to complete the trial, and then we can submit the clinical data to apply for the Phase III trial.

but.

Compared with clinical phases I and II, phase III requires more examinations and a larger amount of data. It is estimated that the number of trial participants alone will reach more than 600.

Looking at the estimated 600 participants in the Phase III clinical trial, Zhang Yang smiled bitterly with helplessness.

He made a rough calculation and found that even if he mortgaged his property, the few hundred thousand yuan left would only last until the end of the second phase.

Therefore, after the completion of the Phase II clinical trial, he was powerless and had to find a way to solve the funding problem.

"what happened?"

Just as Zhang Yang was sitting in the temporary office of the clinical center, looking at the third phase design plan of "Qingshan Avatrombopag" in his hand, the door was suddenly pushed open.

He turned his head and saw that it was Ren Xiaomin.

"What else can I do? I'm in a dilemma. Based on the data from the Phase II clinical trial, I estimate that Phase III will require at least 600 people."

“600人你还嫌多吗？按照规定三期一般都是300-2000人，300人的最低门槛那可都是那些肿瘤药或者孤儿药才有的待遇，我们600人不算多。”

Zhang Yang nodded.

After a moment, Ren Xiaomin said softly:

"Is there a problem with the funds?"

Zhang Yang paused and did not deny it.

He also knew that with Ren Xiaomin's understanding of the pharmaceutical industry, he would have probably seen the clues a long time ago.

“It’s true there are some issues, but there will be no problem completing the second phase.”

Having said that, he changed the subject and looked at Ren Xiaomin with some surprise.

"Shouldn't you go to the Seventh People's Hospital today? Why did you suddenly come to my place?"

Ren Xiaomin's expression suddenly changed, and he whispered:
"Someone just called me and wanted to arrange a meeting between us."

Zhang Yang reacted immediately:

"An acquaintance?"

"Yes, you should know him too. He is He Youcai from the Marketing Department of Beifeng Pharmaceutical."

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.

"Is it for 'Aoyama Avatrobopa'?"

"Well, did you see it?"

Zhang Yang did not answer in a hurry. He thought for a moment and then nodded slowly.

"See, there's nothing wrong with that!"

The hospital is not a place to talk. After Zhang Yang agreed, the three of them went to a nearby teahouse.

As soon as he sat down, He Youcai, who was in his forties and a little overweight, smiled and spoke first:
"Boss Ren, Boss Zhang, I hope you are doing well. You have both achieved great success in just two months. I envy you so much."

"Mr. Ren, if you need any help from me in the future, just let me know!"

Ren Xiaomin picked up the teacup and took a sip without saying anything. Instead, Zhang Yang took over the conversation.

"Manager He, we are all acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite. Just speak frankly if you have anything to say."

He Youcai was shocked, but after a brief trial he immediately knew who had the final say between the two.

He then turned to look at Zhang Yang and whispered:
"Boss Zhang, I know that there was some unpleasantness between us before. Boss Ding scolded us after he found out, and immediately ordered HR to pay the remaining severance pay to the two of you as soon as possible!"

As soon as he said this, Ren Xiaomin put down his teacup and secretly glanced at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang sneered and interrupted directly:
"Let's get down to business!"

"All right!"

He Youcai didn't care about Zhang Yang's refusal to listen, he laughed and said:

"Then I won't say any more. Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ren, we noticed that your company has a drug in Phase II clinical trials recently. We are very interested in it, so we hope to buy the patent for this drug from your company."

"Don't worry, you two are both former employees of Beifeng Pharmaceutical. President Ren has worked at Beifeng Pharmaceutical for more than 10 years. We will not let you suffer any loss!"

Zhang Yang was already sneering in his heart, and he no longer had the patience to listen to He Youcai continue.

"Just tell me, how much are you prepared to pay?"

"1000."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the two of them, and seeing that there was no reaction on their faces, he continued:

"As you two know, this is only in Phase II clinical trials, and we don't know whether it can be marketed in the end."

"Of course, if you two have any needs, we can talk about it slowly..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yang's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"1000 million? Do you really think we are beggars?"

"Okay, let's stop talking. Go back and tell Ding Jian that if he wants to talk, he should come to me in person."

"get out!"

He Youcai's face turned pale and he felt a little overwhelmed.

He didn't expect that Zhang Yang, who had previously seemed kind, would become so fierce.

In this situation, he had no choice but to leave quickly with a grim face. After a while, Ren Xiaomin and Zhang Yang were the only ones left in the teahouse.

"Zhang Yang, are we going too far? If the deal doesn't go through, we can talk it over."

Zhang Yang had more contact with Ren Xiaomin in the past two months and gradually got to know him better.

He shook his head and whispered:

"Brother Ren, do you really think that He Youcai speaks the truth?"

"Besides, the offer is 1000 million. Do you think this is a sincere negotiation?"

Ren Xiaomin sighed heavily. He also knew that even though Qingshan Avatrombopag had just started its Phase II clinical trial, its current value was at least 5000 million yuan!

Beifeng Pharmaceutical offered 1000 million, obviously trying to take advantage.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang continued to persuade:
"Brother Ren, Beifeng Pharmaceutical is a thing of the past. Now we are Qingshan Pharmaceutical, we have to look forward!"

"The better we do, the more unhappy they will be. One day, they will regret their previous decision."

Ren Xiaomin smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"If you put it that way, wouldn't that mean we've become the Avengers?"

"Haha! That's right, Avengers, but they deserve it!"

Zhang Yang laughed, but soon his eyes looked out the window.

What Ren Xiaomin didn't know was that revenge was not his focus, and Beifeng Pharmaceutical was by no means his opponent.

Thinking about the "ITG human growth hormone" in his mind, he suddenly felt a little heavy.
