Chapter 602 The Experiment Begins
Luo Wenkun and Lin Shi both advised Luo Yong not to rush. Seeing this, Xu You also said:
"Uncle, Wenkun and Linshi's ideas are also my ideas. This is not a question of whether they believe me or not, because as long as it is the first batch of clinical trials, it must be the most risky. Uncle doesn't have to be the first batch of clinical trial volunteers for my face."
After hearing Xu You's words, Luo Yong still smiled and shook his head.
"If I am not Luo Wenkun's father, and Luo Wenkun is not your friend, would you still advise me like this?"
After Luo Yong said this, Xu You, Luo Wenkun and Lin Shi were all stunned for a moment, not knowing what Luo Yong wanted to express.
"If you were an ordinary clinical trial volunteer, I would not advise you like I did just now. I would only inform you of some possible risks in advance," said Xu You.
"Yeah, this is because of our different relationships. Since someone needs to be the first batch of experimental volunteers, why can't it be me?"
Seeing that Luo Yong was so persistent, Xu You didn't say anything more.
"You don't have to persuade me anymore. Since I have made the decision, I have already thought about it carefully. Being the first batch of clinical trial volunteers will help me recover faster. I have great confidence in Academician Xu and the entire team, and I will definitely trust you 100%. Besides, there should be some subsidies for the first batch of clinical trial volunteers, right?"
At this point, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Before Luo Wenkun started his own business, Luo Yong was already a very famous entrepreneur in Shanghai, and his wealth was listed on the Forbes national rich list.
It can be said that as long as a treatment plan can be provided, money has never been a problem for Luo Yong, not to mention that Luo Wenkun now has more wealth than Luo Yong.
"Yes, volunteers in the first few phases of clinical trials not only do not have to pay any fees, but will also receive a certain amount of subsidies. When the treatment plan is mature, the treatment fee will be a considerable amount of money."
Including the "rocket heart" developed by Xu You a few years ago, due to cost issues, it has not been fully popularized until now.
"That's it. If our experiment goes well, I'm willing to give some money to provide treatment for other patients. Academician Xu, please let me be a volunteer for the first batch of human experiments."
"Of course that's no problem, as long as your family agrees," said Xu You.
For human clinical trials with unknown risks, it is not easy to recruit volunteers to participate in the experiments. Although there are certain subsidies, they also have to bear huge risks.
Most volunteers are those who are in urgent need of money or have a certain relationship with the relevant research projects.
Luo Wenkun thought about it and decided not to object.
"Since you have made up your mind, I have no objection. Does Mom know about this?"
"Don't worry about that. As long as I'm fine, your mother won't say anything. Well, Academician Xu is very busy, so I won't bother you any more. We'll meet again before the first phase of clinical trials begins."
After coming out of Xu You's office, Luo Wenkun couldn't help but ask Luo Yong:
"Dad, why do you want to participate in clinical trials so early? If it's really not possible, you can wait until the second or third phase."
"Wenkun, each phase of clinical trials takes at least several months or even more than a year. I am already over 50 years old, and I can't wait a few more years. I haven't been able to walk with my normal legs for so many years. Do you know how it feels?"
Luo Wenkun could understand Luo Yong's thoughts, but he himself had not experienced these things and was indeed not qualified to make decisions for Luo Yong.
"Of course, trust in Xu You is also very important. I know what happened to Wang Xiangwu before. The risk of his operation was even greater. If it failed, he would lose his life. But he still chose to trust Xu You without hesitation. The risk of this clinical trial is much smaller than that of the artificial heart project. There is really nothing to worry about."
"Dad, of course I don't distrust Xu You. It's just that from the perspective of a relative, I naturally want to choose a safer direction. Well, then we have to prepare carefully for the subsequent clinical trials."
"Well, that's right!"
Seeing that Luo Wenkun had finally resolved the knot in his heart, Luo Yong smiled and patted Luo Wenkun on the shoulder.
…
After a period of recruitment, the first batch of volunteers to participate in the limb regeneration project are ready to start the first phase of human clinical trials.
Because of the experimental topic, all the volunteers in this period are patients with leg disabilities due to various reasons. Unlike general drug clinical trials, healthy people are not recruited.
In order to avoid serious complications, the project team is quite strict in selecting volunteers. Some people with serious chronic diseases or those with weak bodies were not selected into the first batch of volunteers.
Before the experiment started, Xu Youte came to Luo Yong's bedside and gave him some instructions.
"Uncle, once we start injecting the drug, you can no longer wear your prosthetic limb. Because bones, blood vessels, muscles, etc. will gradually grow from the severed limb of your leg. Wearing a prosthetic limb will have a great impact on the treatment."
Xu You's meaning was very clear. Once the treatment began, Luo Yong would no longer be able to walk using prosthetic limbs. Not only would it be inconvenient for him to move, but he would also not be able to conceal his physical defects well.
"Of course, I've already prepared myself mentally. I've already arranged my work, and at most I'll just have to stay in bed for a year or two. It doesn't matter. As long as I can recover my health, this little bit of suffering won't matter."
Before the experiment began, the project team signed an agreement with each volunteer participating in the experiment.
One of the main clauses is the disclosure of the risks of this clinical trial.
After all, these are the first batch of human clinical trials . No matter how successful the previous animal experiments were, human experiments will definitely involve certain risks.
If any unexpected situation occurs in the experiment, the experimenter needs to be mentally prepared for the consequences, and at the same time he will receive certain compensation.
After the volunteers signed the agreement with the project team, the experiment officially began.
The subjects were injected with different doses of chemical molecule combinations according to their physical conditions.
