Rothchild looked at Hua Zhenxing for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "I didn't want to say too much at first. I'm afraid you won't understand some things if I tell them."
Hua Zhenxing said with a straight face: "Just because I can escort you on foot through the wilderness does not mean that I am just an ignorant savage."
Rozchild: "Well, I have to say goodbye tomorrow, and I will tell you today. Port Fiso is a very backward, ignorant, and chaotic place, but do you know what the most advanced institutions here are?"
Hua Zhenxing: "As you raise this question, the answer is of course the International Hospital."
Fiso Port International Hospital was developed from a refugee tent hospital fifteen years ago. It has received funding from many international institutions and is now quite large. It has thousands of beds and even formed a relatively independent hospital in the city.
The safe area is often overcrowded.
To say it is advanced refers to the facilities that represent the highest level. There are world-class research rooms, operating rooms, laboratories, intensive care units, and hundreds of high-end wards that are not inferior to private hospitals in developed countries. But
These conditions are not available to ordinary people. Most general wards and beds in the hospital are in poor condition, and the treatment and observation hall is overcrowded.
Rothchild nodded: "Yes, it not only has the most advanced medical equipment and various wards, but also the most advanced laboratories and research departments. It is large enough, has enough patients, and can see
It reaches a variety of patients, so it has the best conditions for doing drug trials."
Hua Zhenxing frowned: "Are you conducting illegal drug experiments here?"
Rozchild shook his head and said: "It's not us, it's them. I didn't participate. As for whether it's illegal, foreign laws can't control the Port of Africa, and the laws of the country can't control the International Hospital, let alone they seem to
There is no clear law in this regard.
The powerful people in this country will not interfere with the affairs of the International Hospital. As a tacit exchange, the International Hospital will also ensure their medical safety.
As for drug testing, almost everything you can think of is available. Initially, many institutions placed their laboratories here because it was convenient to conduct animal testing. For example, monkeys here are easy to obtain, and there are no animal protection organizations to interfere...
But later, many people realized another convenience.
Do you know the research and development process of a new drug? First, pharmacological and biochemical analysis is done, then animal testing is done, and finally clinical trials are done. Clinical trials are divided into phases one to four, and the cost is very, very high. If the research and development fails, it will be equivalent to all investment.
All wasted.
But here, the cost is very low. First do the pharmacological and biochemical analysis abroad, and then do the simplest animal testing here. The extent of animal testing sometimes depends on your conscience..."
Hearing this, Hua Zhenxing interjected: "Will anyone skip the animal testing stage and go directly to clinical trials?"
Rothchild: "Yes, although there are not many such cases, I have found that it is best to test small doses on individual people first, and then continue if there are no serious reactions. But more often than not, the animal testing is incomplete and the data
If the accumulation and observation period is not enough, I will go directly to the clinic.
There are strict clinical regulations. For example, in the first phase of trials, the volunteers are usually healthy people. The volunteers in the second to fourth phases of trials are all patients with corresponding indications, that is, people with different diseases take the medicine to treat the disease. In the second phase of the trial, the volunteers are usually healthy people.
There is also a control group, that is, people with the same disease cannot take this medicine, and must either take a placebo or other marketed drugs. It is best to only take a placebo..."
Hua Zhenxing: "Just tell me the key points! I can go back and check the information on these."
Rozchild: "Drug trials require signing a responsibility agreement with volunteers to ensure that volunteers are fully informed and to provide adequate compensation to volunteers. But at Fisoport International Hospital, there are only patients and no volunteers. They are all just data.
sample."
Hua Zhenxing took a breath: "Those people didn't know it themselves? Not only were they not compensated, but they even spent their own money to conduct drug trials for others?"
The Fiso Port International Hospital has a charitable nature, but it is not public in the country of Kilian. It was first established by an international relief organization and accepts donations from organizations around the world. It also charges fees, and the fees are very expensive, and few people can afford it.
Unless it's just some simple glitches.
People who have no money and want to see a doctor can apply for assistance and need to fill out several forms. There are many illiterates here, and even more do not know foreign languages, so the forms are filled out by hospital staff, corresponding to different charity assistance projects. Get
Assistance for a certain project can cost nothing or less, but after all, some people spend their own money to see a doctor, at least part of the money.
Rozchild nodded and said: "Actually, the most important thing is not these. The clinical trials here are not standardized. Sometimes, in order to obtain complete data in the shortest time and at the lowest cost, the first to third clinical phases are even mixed together.
made."
Hua Zhenxing: "How to do this?"
Rozchild: "Direct administration and observation, starting from a small dose, some people will be given the drug and some people will not be given the drug. Those with corresponding symptoms will be given this drug, and those without corresponding symptoms will also be given this drug... Sometimes you can get more
Comprehensive data is difficult to obtain even through formal methods."
Hua Zhenxing: “I didn’t quite understand.”
Rothchild: "For example, let's take contraindications and new indications. Usually volunteers in drug trials cannot have other underlying diseases. Drugs for digestion cannot be given to people with heart disease. If they cannot take it,
If you know what the reaction will be, you can know it now, or you can discover that this drug can treat new diseases."
Hua Zhenxing was speechless for a moment. After being silent for a long time, he asked: "Are all the doctors from the International Hospital involved?"
Rozchild quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, most doctors are not involved. They are here to treat patients. Their professional ethics do not allow them to do that, and they don't even know about it."
Hua Zhenxing: "How could you not know?" Unknowingly, his tone sounded like an interrogation.
Rozchild explained: "The situation in international hospitals is also very complicated. Doctors from different countries use drugs from various sources around the world, and it is normal to not understand many things.
In this most backward place in the world, the latest drugs developed from the most developed regions in the world can often be seen in hospitals. Some doctors also know that many drugs come from irregular sources, but they have no evidence to question them.
In this place, it is good to have medicines to treat diseases. Basically, you can use whatever medicines are available. Most doctors are still doing normal treatment and using medicines according to the instructions. After all, there are only a few people with problems, and even if they are
Even after using the problematic drugs, most of them can still cure the disease..."
Having said this, he sighed again and said: "There are still many doctors who are not even qualified to question, or have no ability to question. For example, doctors from many backward countries are only told that there are the latest advanced drugs in the world.
It was donated by a public welfare organization through special channels."
Hua Zhenxing: "There is also a chain of contempt within the hospital, or it is called a chain of discrimination. For example, doctors from abroad look down on local doctors from several countries, and Dr. Luo, you should be at the top of this chain of discrimination, right?"
Rozchild did not answer the question, and Hua Zhenxing asked again: "You discovered these inside stories and collected evidence in the hospital, so that's why you were hunted down?"
Rozchild nodded and said: "Yes, I have collected a lot of first-hand original information, also preserved some samples, and have mastered the secrets of certain people. I don't know that this matter has been exposed, but you called and said
Jin Datou wanted to kill me, I knew it right then."
Hua Zhenxing: "What does this have to do with Jin Datou?"
Rozchild: "Drug trials have strict specifications, and some of the specifications are to protect volunteers. Failure to comply with these specifications may result in the trial being completed faster and at a lower cost.
But on the other hand, it also has professional requirements, such as how to organize uninformed people to serve as volunteers, how to ensure that they are testing a new drug while not testing another new drug, how to follow up and observe... These all require local
People help.
This is what Jin Datou does. The Datou Gang organizes physical examinations and medical treatment on their own territory, and even makes them take medicines that are said to have preventive effects on a regular basis, and there are specialized people to do statistical observations."
Hua Zhenxing suddenly remembered something: "Do you know Charles, the big man who shot at his accomplices yesterday to cover our escape? His aunt and two sisters were sick last year, and I asked you for help. The Big Head Gang organized
People go to the hospital to be guinea pigs, why didn't you help send them to the hospital?"
Rozchild smiled bitterly and said: "That's because she is really sick, and it is a fatal and severe infectious disease! The members of the Big Head Gang don't know the inside story. Only Jin Datou himself knows that he has the money."
Hua Zhenxing: "No wonder Jin Datou wants to kill you. The person who hired him is also determined to kill you."
There was a trace of ridicule on the corner of Rozchild's mouth: "There is only a reward of 30,000 meters in gold, and the big head of Jin has someone to serve as a gunman. The interests involved are so huge that it may bankrupt several countries in several miles."
Hua Zhenxing: "Please explain it further."
Rothchild: "Actually, it's useless if Jin Datou knows about it. This is simply not something he can achieve. Let me give you a few examples. Which group has developed the latest drug and how much does it cost?
At what stage of the trial has the trial reached, with this information in the hands of professionals, they can basically determine whether the new drug can be put on the market and its efficacy and profits after it is put on the market.
And knowing this, you know how the stock price will change, and knowing how the shares will change, you can operate in advance and use leverage to amplify. This is only one aspect. If this information falls to competitors, the value will probably be even greater. Yes.
If some information is made public, it will cause scandals and cause huge losses to those pharmaceutical groups."
Hua Zhenxing interjected: "Scandal? Scandal of illegal clinical trials?"
Rozchild sighed again, shook his head slightly and said: "In Mi Jian Country, not many people really care about the life and death of the people in Jili. The vast majority of people don't even know where Jili Country is, or even
I didn’t know there was a country of several miles in the world.
But it involves capital interests. If operational flaws can be found and attacked, it will be a scandal in the capital market. For some large groups, if their stock prices only fall or rise by a few percentage points, do you know how much the market value will change?"
Hua Zhenxing: "According to this, how many pharmaceutical groups and how many types of drugs have you obtained illegal trial data?"
Rothchild: "Information is not equal to evidence. Even if you find someone doing this kind of thing, it is often useless. It is difficult to prove in law that it has anything to do with the person behind the scenes. What I want to master is the complete chain of evidence."
, who is leading what project, what are their names, what identities do they have, and what experimental data have been produced.
Then check which companies have applied these data in the documents required by law, and have applied for new drugs to be launched or are in the process of applying for new drugs to be launched. I have evidence of more than a dozen pharmaceutical groups and dozens of drugs. They are all the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.
Some of the groups are in Mijian Country and some are in Luoba Continent.
I have an electronic backup, but electronic data alone is not enough. In some cases, original documents are also needed. I also got some samples that can be stored at room temperature. The samples and data are usually locked in the office. Yesterday, the situation was urgent, and the most important thing was
I put everything in my backpack."
Hua Zhenxing: "I can escort you to Miri Airport, but in this case, will it be safe for you to return to Mijian Country?"
Rozchild: "It's not like I'm unprepared, I won't go back to Mi Jian Country directly."
Hua Zhenxing: "What are you going to do?"
Rozchild avoided answering, raised his head and said: "You want to ask Jin Datou why he wanted to kill me, I have already told you. Now it is your turn to tell me, the training you received is called Yangyuan Technique, can you teach me?"
"
Hua Zhenxing concentrated on summoning the "system" and discovered to his surprise that the completion progress of "Mission One" had reached more than 90%. It seemed that what Dr. Luo told was basically the truth, but there were still some final situations that had not yet been clarified.
