Chapter 1876 The only Hope
Professor Lane's targeted therapy for the brain has a very high mortality rate.
Although at the beginning, the project was approved by the Food and Drug Administration of China, and volunteers were recruited from all over the world later. All volunteers also signed an agreement. If they die during the experiment of this project, the research center will not be exempted from liability. Again, the mortality rate is too high! Higher than most people imagine.
At this time, the issue can easily rise from ordinary medical research to social ethics issues. Once exposed to the public, the research center will attract attacks from all over the world.
Therefore, the second phase of the experiment will almost certainly not be able to continue. The first phase is now coming to an end. If it were not for the Bauhinia Consortium, it would be almost impossible to send another person to participate in treatment at this time.
The experiments of these medical projects all have a control group and an experimental group. All the procedures received by the volunteers in the two groups are the same. The only difference is that at the key experimental point, the control group is doing a comfort experiment, which means there is no actual Action treatment; and the experimental group did research treatment. This is actually the same principle as in drug experiments, where the control group takes a placebo that has no medicinal effect, while the experimental group takes the real drug.
But those who participate in these experiments have no other options and want to take a chance at the last stage of their lives. What if these new drugs or new technologies cure them? What you win is a longer life; and if you fail, it will just advance the time of death by two or three months to now.
In the experiment, the names of the control group and the experimental group were determined by drawing lots. This is very critical because no matter who participates in the experiment, they all want to really receive the treatment of the new technology instead of acting as a placebo. However, There must be a control group and an experimental group, half of the people must take a placebo, and only half of the people can get the real treatment, so no one wants to be a control group. To ensure fairness, lots must be drawn.
Many medical research institutions will be very cautious in this step, because if there is a violation here, such as using their rights to transfer someone to the experimental group, then once discovered, the entire experimental project will be declared a violation.
These procedures are very important.
But now, if you want to send Qi Ziheng into this experiment, and also want him to receive real treatment at a later stage... you really have to rely on the power of the Bauhinia Consortium.
Money can make all the difference, especially in the world of capital.
If Ryan is not willing to take the risk of the project being banned and accept Qi Ziheng, then she promises Ryan that if his project really cannot continue in country M, she will find another country and she will fund it!
This is enough for Ryan to agree to all her conditions!
So the only question now is, will the Qi family let Qi Ziheng receive treatment?
Yun Hua originally wanted Tang Mo to contact Qi Ziheng's father. She didn't want to deal with them, but after much deliberation, she personally contacted Qi Ziheng's grandfather, Mr. Qi.
She came in person.
Mr. Qi looks much older than he did two years ago.
"Hua Hua is here, sit down quickly." Mr. Qi asked someone to serve her tea.
Yun Hua said quickly, "You're not busy, Grandpa Qi. I already told you my purpose of coming on the phone. Now I'll tell you in detail. Of course, the decision rests with you."
Also coming with Yun Hua was Qi Ziheng's attending doctor.
Yun Hua asked the attending doctor to tell him about Qi Ziheng's current situation and chances of cure, and then told Mr. Qi about the experiment being done by the research center in M Country Lane.
"The death rate is very high. Taken together, the mortality rate is even as high as 80%. After all, this is a new technology for the brain, not a drug. If it is a drug, as long as it is not a poison, the worst result is that it will not work. , but this technology is too dangerous, and there is a complete escape from death!”
"What about the success rate?" Mr. Qi's voice was very hard.
Yun Hua said, "Current data shows that the survival rate is only 18.7%, and the cure rate is only 0.4%. In other words, out of a thousand people, 4 people are cured."
"What about the others who survived?"
"They have all improved to a certain extent. Some can prolong life by one to three years. Others are not so good. They are almost the same as before and have only worsened." Yun Hua said straightforwardly, "This It’s a more accurate report that you can take a look at.”
"I don't want to see it." Mr. Qi waved his hand and sighed, "A Heng is also in trouble. I don't care about that. I just ask you, this is his only chance, right?"
Yun Hua pursed his lips and nodded firmly after a moment, "Yes, judging from many circumstances, this is Qi Ziheng's only chance to survive. If no treatment measures are taken, the snowflake-like lesions in his brain will continue to appear. It expands and continuously infects the surrounding healthy brain tissue, until finally, the entire brain is completely diseased and dies. The whole process can take a week, and can last a month."
Qi Lao closed his eyes.
He didn't think for long before he looked at Yun Hua again and said, "I leave A Heng to you!"
Yun Hua nodded, "I will do my best."
"I believe you, I am just such a accomplished grandson..." Mr. Qi couldn't continue.
At this moment, Qi Ziheng's father walked in quickly, glanced at Yun Hua, and then looked directly at Mr. Qi, "Dad, what kind of experiment she was talking about has no guarantee at all. The mortality rate is so high. Send A Heng there." I just want him to die, this won’t work, absolutely won’t work!”
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"I...it's better to stay in the country and slowly find a way to treat it. There is always hope..."
"Shut up!" Mr. Qi's crutch hit the ground heavily, "You think I don't know what you are thinking? Such a big thing happened to Ah Heng, you are interested in what he has on hand, right? Ah Heng He's your biological son! If you don't wait to see his mother, his mother is already dead. He is your biological son! Are you just looking forward to his death? His life or death is uncertain now, but you have already begun to think about how to divide him up. What’s in your hand, you’re such a good father! So good!”
Mr. Qi gasped in anger, "I tell you, as long as I am not dead, it is not your turn to make the decision in this family! You are free to marry whomever you want, but if you want to take away my grandson's things, you are dreaming! Get out, now Get out now!"
Father Qi's face was very ugly, but in the end he did not dare to offend Mr. Qi and left with an unhappy face.
Qi Lao's face turned pale with anger, and he sat and gasped for breath. The health doctor beside him kept calming him down and asked him to drink water. It took a long time for Qi Lao to recover.
"Don't worry about this. Since there is still such a chance, let's take A Heng to give it a try! I will leave him to you, I believe you!" Qi Lao said, "Grandpa knows that you have put a lot of thought into it, and this opportunity is not random. Anyone can get it, no matter what the result is, grandpa will still be grateful to you!"
"Don't say that, I will try my best."
