Chapter 322: AstraZeneca’s sponsorship?

The next day, Little Sun Restaurant.

The restaurant is adjacent to Jinghua Second Hospital and has a large flow of people.

The chef's skills are also good. The Sichuan cuisine is extremely authentic and reasonably priced, so it attracts many customers.

"Boss, please order some stir-fried sausage, spicy chicken, spicy shrimp, and another order of boiled fish."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be on my way!"

Lu Chen and Wang Ruoxi sat opposite each other.

"Sister Wang, you don't have to be so polite. I feel so embarrassed every time you invite me to dinner." Lu Chen smiled and said to Wang Ruoxi in front of him.

Wang Ruoxi was dressed fashionably and beautifully today. She was already quite good-looking, but when she dressed up like this, she had a more mature charm that young girls don't have.

Wang Ruoxi frowned slightly when she heard Lu Chen's name: "Sister Wang, does this name make you look older?"

Lu Chen was stunned and touched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Sister Ruoxi?"

"Well, this is good." Wang Ruoxi smiled.

"Sister Ruoxi, is your chest pain feeling better now?" Lu Chen asked.

"Much better." Wang Ruoxi nodded slightly, "This is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have been troubled by this chest pain."

Lu Chen smiled. In fact, he did not prescribe any special medicine to Wang Ruoxi.

"Sister Ruoxi, you should pay more attention to rest."

"Well, the company was quite busy some time ago and I didn't get much rest. Give yourself a holiday during this period." Wang Ruoxi said.

Lu Chen knew that Wang Ruoxi studied medicine before, but later did not choose to become a doctor.

In recent years, more and more medical students have not engaged in clinical work and have found other careers.

"Sister Ruoxi is usually very busy?" Lu Chen asked casually.

"Well, I work in a pharmaceutical company and I often travel everywhere, so staying up late is commonplace." Wang Ruoxi said.

Medical representative?

Lu Chen was stunned. In this profession, he had come into contact with many people.

Especially after coming to Jinghua Second Hospital, he saw more medical representatives from all walks of life.

"Then you come to the hospital often?" Lu Chen paused.

"No." Wang Ruoxi smiled, "I am not the kind of salesman who runs business. I am the regional manager of AstraZeneca. I am mainly responsible for contacting various businesses of the company and hospitals."

AstraZeneca regional manager?

Darling, Wang Ruoxi looks like she is only 27 or 28 years old. This is so amazing!

AstraZeneca is an international pharmaceutical giant. To be able to become a regional manager in China, Wang Ruoxi is very impressive, both in terms of personal talent and identity and background.

It seems that Wang Ruoxi is really a rich woman!

The point is, this rich woman is very beautiful.

correct!

A thought suddenly flashed in Lu Chen's mind, AstraZeneca...

Isn’t this the manufacturer of dapagliflozin?

"Sister Ruoxi, dapagliflozin is from your company, right?"

"That's right!" Wang Ruoxi said with a smile, "This is our company's latest flagship drug. I am responsible for the upstream promotion of the entire product. By the way, I am also going to talk to Director Cao of the Cardiology Department of Jinghua Second Hospital."

"Sister Ruoxi, you are so awesome." Lu Chen sighed, "I am the same age as you, and you are now a regional manager."

Wang Ruoxi smiled modestly and said: "Brother Lu Chen is also very good. I heard about you from Zihao. Not only did you win the championship in the national medical skills competition, but you also entered the national electrocardiogram competition this time."

After blowing rainbow farts at each other, the two of them got closer.

"Hey, you just asked about the drug dapagliflozin. What happened?" Wang Ruoxi said suddenly.

"That's right." Lu Chen cleared his throat and said, "I recently had a project idea about dapagliflozin. I used it as my opening report, so I asked a few more questions. I didn't have anything else to do."

"Project?" Wang Ruoxi's eyes lit up, "I would like to ask, what kind of project is this... of yours?"

"A prospective cohort study." Lu Chen said.

Clinical research can be simply divided into prospective research and retrospective research.

Retrospective research is generally a comparative study of existing data, which generally takes less time and money.

Prospective research requires clinical comparative experiments and continuous follow-up to determine the long-term efficacy of a drug or a certain treatment method, which consumes a lot of money and takes a long time.

However, when it comes to the readiness of research alone, forward-looking topics are definitely better.

"A forward-looking topic?" Wang Ruoxi asked doubtfully, "How big is your sample size?"

"About fifty patients." Lu Chen said.

"Fifty patients... follow-up requires examinations, blood collection, etc., as well as the cost of experimental drugs." Wang Ruoxi frowned and said, "Then it should be quite expensive for you. You are still a student, doing this Isn’t this kind of prospective research worthwhile?”

Wang Ruoxi also has a medical background. As far as she knows, most medical masters will choose retrospective research, so that they can complete their thesis as quickly as possible and graduate.

"The department will bear part of the cost. I still have some savings, so it should be about the same." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Well, let's do that." Wang Ruoxi said suddenly, "Can you show me your clinical subjects?"

"Ah?" Lu Chen was stunned.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else." Wang Ruoxi smiled, "I mean, if your topic is good, I think our AstraZeneca company can sponsor you part of it."

"Sponsorship?" Lu Chen frowned.

"Well, we will provide the cost of the drugs used in your experiment." Wang Ruoxi said, "You should know that a box of dapagliflozin is very expensive now, and ordinary patients can't afford such high medical expenses."

Lu Chen lowered his head and thought about the cost of the drugs. This is also the biggest problem he encountered in the entire experiment.

A box of dapagliflozin is estimated to be 70 yuan, and one box can only be taken for half a month, so the cost of the drug for one month is about 140 yuan.

The follow-up time is generally at least half a year, which means that the cost of one patient for half a year is 840 yuan.

The cost of 50 patients is 42,000 yuan.

This is what Lu Chen can't afford at the moment.

It is impossible for him to borrow money from his parents to do his own clinical experiments.

So, in Lu Chen's idea, he needs to find those patients who voluntarily take dapagliflozin at their own expense. UU看书www.uukanshu.net

This way he can reduce part of the cost of the medicine, and mainly bear the cost of blood sampling for the examination.

However, it is quite difficult to select such patients who meet the conditions.

If AstraZeneca bears this part of the cost, then his experiment will solve the biggest problem.

Wang Ruoxi looked at the young Lu Chen in front of her, and she regretted what she had just said.

Although she is a regional manager, she cannot have the final say.

For the sponsorship of such experiments, it must be decided by a higher-level leader.

Moreover, the person in charge of such sponsorship is usually the head of the department, and it is not the turn of students like Lu Chen.

The most important thing is that the project done by the student should not be in the eyes of her leader.

Now giving Lu Chen hope, and then destroying it with her own hands later, it is really cruel!
