Shennong Pharmaceutical will complete the Phase III trial and upload the clinical data as soon as possible.
"Thanks to the support of the State Administration of Medicine and Meicheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, our company's Phase III clinical trials on Ai Qing Ling have been successfully completed. The drug is a broad-spectrum targeted drug and is suitable for the vast majority of cancer patients. Next, our company will
We are working hard to promote the production and launch plans, and please all anxious friends to wait patiently!"
After the announcement was made, patients were urging it to be put into production as soon as possible and asked about the price.
Shennong Pharmaceutical Company
Xu Li came here to inspect the situation. Most of the employees returned to the company after the Chinese New Year and started working one after another.
He flipped through the data files of the Phase III clinical trial.
Fang Mu reported the situation on the side, "Boss, all the trials of our anti-cancer drugs have been successfully completed without any adverse effects. All the data are excellent. If everything goes well, we can complete the test within two months."
Listed."
Xu Li nodded: "That's good, but we have to put it into production as soon as possible after getting the drug production qualification. Some patients can't wait."
"I know, but boss, what is the appropriate price for our Ai Qing Ling?"
"How much is the price..."
Xu Liyi frowned, this really needs to be considered.
The price of Ai Qing Ling cannot be set too expensive. If most people cannot afford the cost, then its development will not be a benefit. However, it cannot be set too cheap. Otherwise, how will the research and development costs be recovered?
"How much does the entire course of treatment cost?"
Xu Li asked the most critical question.
"According to my estimate, the entire course of treatment may cost about 200,000 yuan." Fang Mu replied truthfully.
Because this cancer clearing twice a week includes various diagnosis, testing, drug-assisted interventional treatment, medical equipment usage fees, etc.
Moreover, anti-cancer drugs cannot be sold alone. They need to be diagnosed by a hospital doctor before they can be sold. This can control medical safety risks and achieve precise treatment effects.
It is impossible to buy medicine and take it at home by yourself. In this way, it is impossible to detect whether the cancer cells in the body have been suppressed and to check the specific condition of the body.
This is one of the reasons why many anti-drug drugs cost so much in total for a course of treatment even though they are relatively cheap per box.
Of course, not every family can afford this 200,000, especially those ordinary rural families.
"Then hold a press conference, contact the national medical insurance department, and ask them to come over for negotiations as soon as possible. Also explain to the people at this press conference that you should inform Ma Xingming about this and let him implement the matter as soon as possible.
At that time, I will personally appear in the medical insurance negotiations."
"Okay, I understand."
After Fang Mu left, Xu Li was trying to figure out how to set a better price.
He cannot decide the hospital-related treatment costs, but ordinary people can reimburse part of it through medical insurance. As a pharmaceutical company, the only thing he can decide is the drug price.
This must consider not only the psychological acceptance of the majority of patients, but also the profit growth of the company.
So it's not an easy decision.
Currently, a box of Ai Qing Ling contains 6 bottles (oral liquid/intravenous injection), and one bottle is about 15 ml.
The price of a box, including various costs, is about 10,800 per box. The current price submitted by the senior management of Shennong Pharmaceutical Company after discussion and decision is 15,000 per box.
One month is one course of treatment, and there are three courses in total. To use at least three boxes every month, the patient will need to spend about 45,000.
Take Lenvatinib, an anti-cancer drug that is not covered by medical insurance, for example. A box costs about RMB 17,000. A patient’s monthly cost of taking Lenvatinib is between RMB 33,000 and RMB 52,000. Such a high price is already a sky-high price for most ordinary patients, making it prohibitive for many patients.
Of course, these are only the prices paid for the drugs themselves, plus hospital equipment, hospitalization expenses, etc., and the total treatment costs add up to more than ten or two hundred thousand.
If advanced medical equipment and some surgeries are used, the cost may exceed 300,000 yuan.
After three courses of Shennong Pharmaceutical's anti-cancer drug "Ai Qing Ling", if the patient has no other medical history or other hidden accidents, he can basically be completely cured, and he can be cured on a one-time basis.
However, after recovery, patients also need to pay attention to their diet and quit bad habits to prevent cancer from developing again.
After Xu Li thought about it for a while, he finally made a mental decision.
"Xiaobai, go book the largest hotel in Meicheng as the venue for the press conference and medical insurance negotiations, and then release the news about the press conference as well."
"Understood."
He decided to publish the clinical trial data and detailed explanations together with medical insurance and announced that it was done.
The news of Shennong Pharmaceutical's press conference soon spread across the country, and netizens expressed their support one after another.
This news not only attracted the attention of domestic pharmaceutical giants, but also foreign companies such as Pfizer and Merck.
These giants were shocked and confused.
A recently acquired pharmaceutical company was able to develop anti-cancer drugs in such a short period of time. How did it do this?
You know, giant companies like them invest hundreds of millions in pharmaceutical research and development every year, but the success rate of new drugs is less than 10%, especially anti-cancer drugs, not to mention rare diseases and other difficult-to-treat diseases.
.
But once a new drug is successfully developed, the initial investment must be recovered, at least to cover the cost, otherwise wouldn’t these pharmaceutical companies lose money?
Whether ordinary people, pharmaceutical companies or big names in related fields, they are all paying attention to the developments of Shennong Pharmaceutical.
Soon, the press conference arrived as scheduled.
The reporters are ready, with camera equipment facing the press conference.
The conference venue was booked at the largest hotel in the area - Meicheng Fugui Hotel.
A row of tables at the venue's host table are seats for representatives of Shennong Pharmaceutical. The first half of the row is reserved for those who are big names in the pharmaceutical field or senior executives of the company.
Behind are the seats for reporters from various newspapers and media.
There is also another venue set up in the hotel, which is specially used for the upcoming medical insurance group negotiations.
There are mainly two rows of long tables, representing the negotiation seats of Party A and Party B.
After the morning press conference is over, we will move there in the afternoon to immediately negotiate with the medical insurance team.
Time is still tight.
But in order to save trouble, Boss Xu had no choice but to arrange them together.
"I don't know how effective the anti-cancer drug data of Shennong Pharmaceutical is this time? I heard that the three phase clinical trials were successful."
"If it is really that good, then we can also use domestic anti-cancer miracle drugs in the future!"
"Yes, an uncle of my neighbor's family was cured and discharged from the hospital a month after taking part in the trial of this anti-cancer drug. He had no side effects such as nausea, and he came back feeling energetic. I saw him when I was walking yesterday.
”
"Me too. Last time I went to visit my old mother-in-law, she was much better and her appetite was much better."
"Do you know? Not long ago, there was an anchor named Liu Lili. She seemed to be a terminal patient of pancreatic cancer. After trying the medicine for a few weeks, she is almost better now. Her face looked ugly before, but now she is indeed no longer like a normal person.
What a difference, it’s simply magical!”
"Is it true? If Shennong's anti-cancer drug is so miraculous, it will be good news for our people in China!"
"I heard that people from the national medical insurance team are also here, and negotiations will be held in the afternoon. I hope to negotiate a good price by then, so that at least patients from ordinary families can afford this medicine."
Before the press conference even started, the audience in the audience were whispering to each other and talking to each other, making the scene a bit noisy.
