  Chapter 326 AstraZeneca's sponsorship?

  The next day, Little Sun Restaurant.

  The restaurant is adjacent to the Jinghua Second Hospital, and there is a lot of traffic.

  The chef's craftsmanship is also good. The Sichuan cuisine is extremely authentic and the price is reasonable, so it attracts many customers.

   "Boss, here's a stir-fried sausage, spicy chicken, spicy shrimp, and a boiled fish."

   "Okay, wait a minute, I'll be up soon!"

  Lu Chen and Wang Ruoxi sat opposite each other.

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

  Wang Ruoxi is dressed up in a fashionable and beautiful fashion today. She is already quite good-looking, so when she dresses up like this, she has a mature charm that young girls don't have.

  Wang Ruoxi frowned slightly when she heard Lu Chen's name: "Sister Wang, does your name seem old?"

  Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then touched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Sister Ruoxi?"

   "Well, this is not bad." Wang Ruoxi smiled.

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

   "It's much better." Wang Ruoxi nodded slightly, "This is 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 for Wang Ruoxi.

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

   "Well, the company was busy some time ago and I didn't have much rest, so I gave myself a vacation during this time." Wang Ruoxi said.

  Lu Chen knew that Wang Ruoxi used to study medicine, but she did not choose to become a doctor later.

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

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

   "Well, I work in a pharmaceutical company, and I often travel around for business. It's common to stay up late." Wang Ruoxi said.

  Medical representative?

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

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

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

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

   AstraZeneca's regional manager?

   Darling, Wang Ruoxi looks only twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, this is too amazing!

  AstraZeneca is an international pharmaceutical giant, and being able to become a regional manager in Huaxia District, Wang Ruoxi is remarkable both in terms of personal talent and identity background.

   It seems that Wang Ruoxi is really a rich woman!

   The point is, this rich woman is still beautiful.

correct!

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

   Isn't this the manufacturer of Dapagliflozin?

   "Sister Ruoxi, Dapagliflozin belongs to your company, right?"

   "Yes!" Wang Ruoxi said with a smile, "This is our company's flagship drug recently. I'm in charge of the upstream promotion of the entire product. By the way, I'm also going to talk to Director Cao of the Cardiology Department of your Jinghua Second Hospital."

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

  Wang Ruoxi smiled modestly: "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."

   They blew rainbow farts to each other, and the relationship between the two became closer.

   "Hey, you just asked about Dapagliflozin, what's the matter?" Wang Ruoxi said suddenly.

   "That's right." Lu Chen cleared his throat and said, "I recently had an idea for a topic about Dapagliflozin. I took it as my opening report, and I asked a few more questions, nothing else."

   "The subject?" Wang Ruoxi's eyes lit up, "I take the liberty to ask, what kind of subject is this...?"

   "A prospective cohort study." Lu Chen said.

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

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

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

   However, the preparation of single-discussion research is definitely better for prospective subjects.

   "A forward-looking topic?" Wang Ruoxi wondered, "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, "Then you should spend a lot of money, you are still a student, doing this This kind of forward-looking research is not worth it, right?"

  Wang Ruoxi is also a medical graduate. As far as she knows, most of the medical masters will choose retrospective research, so that they can produce the thesis as quickly as possible, and they can also graduate.

   "The department will bear part of the cost, and I still have some savings, which should be about the same." Lu Chen smiled.

   "Well, so be it." Wang Ruoxi suddenly said, "Can you show me your clinical subject?"

   "Huh?" Lu Chen was taken aback.

   "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else." Wang Ruoxi smiled, "I mean, if your subject is better, I think our AstraZeneca company can give you some sponsorship."

   "Sponsorship?" Lu Chen frowned.

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

  Lu Chen lowered his head and pondered, the cost of the drug was also the biggest problem he encountered in the whole experiment.

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

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

   The cost of fifty patients is forty-two thousand.

   This is what the current Lu Chen can't bear.

   He could not have borrowed money from his father to do his own clinical experiments.

   Therefore, in Lu Chen's vision, he needs to find those patients who voluntarily take dapagliflozin at their own expense.

   In this way, he can reduce the cost of some medicines and mainly bear the cost of blood collection for the examination.

   However, such eligible patients are quite difficult to screen.

  If AstraZeneca pays for this part of the cost, then his experiment solves the biggest problem.

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

  Although she is the regional manager, she can't speak a word.

   The sponsorship of such experiments is to be decided by higher-level leadership.

   And this kind of sponsorship is usually led by the head of the department, but not a student like Lu Chen.

   The most important thing is that the students' projects should not be in the eyes of her leaders.

   It is cruel to give Lu Chen hope now, and to destroy it with his own hands later!
