Chapter 440: Come and hurt each other

"Our pressure will be greater now!" The pharmaceutical companies are here, they have built a thick barrier, so that consumers have no choice at all, you can either spend a lot of money to buy my medicine, or just at home Waiting for the death, if the supply to the country is reduced, and the pharmaceutical factory cannot produce enough medicine in a short time, then it will be troublesome.
"It's okay, Nova will not make up its mind so quickly, now they are just intimidating, we still have time." Shen Long comforted, but it was not true in fact, he had already prepared for this, and thought about it. Coping strategies, but this method is not suitable for Professor Ma Lin to know.
"The best, let's hurry up for trial production! As long as the medicines produced can meet the needs of patients, then Nova's supply will not be a problem." Professor Ma Lin and Director Qiao were a little relieved .
After they left, Shen Long turned on the computer and was ready to work. Nova had many problems. The governments of other countries were very dissatisfied with them. Moreover, the pharmaceutical giant saw and had conflicts. Shen Long now intends to provoke them. In order to attract the attention of Nova Corporation, making them temporarily unable to take care of their own affairs.
This is the same as using other local governments to help relieve stress before, but the target chosen is different. Shen Long carefully recalled the information he collected and decided to put the target on Avastin, which is an anti-cancer developed by Roche Pharmaceuticals. The drug, whose chemical name is "bevacizumab", is a drug that blocks angiogenesis. It blocks the blood supply to tumors by inhibiting the role of vascular endothelial growth factor, inhibits the spread of tumors in the body, and enhances the effect of chemotherapy.
The medicinal effect is very significant. Once launched, it has been greatly welcomed by the market. Its annual sales are similar to that of Glenin. It is a blockbuster drug (the industry's name for drugs with annual sales of more than one billion US dollars).
This medicine may seem to have nothing to do with Nova at first glance, but some doctors have found that Avastin has a very good treatment effect on patients with macular degeneration blinded by accident. This usefulness gradually spreads. Many doctors I started prescribing this medicine to patients with macular degeneration in the form of off-label medicine.
The label for external use refers to a drug used for indications approved by regulatory agencies such as the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration), which are not included in the instructions; for example, metronidazole was initially used to treat trichomoniasis and your gums The doctor also prescribes metronidazole for you. You will be stupid when you look at it. Hurry to find a doctor and say that the doctor is a man. The doctor said it ’s okay. You ’re right to eat. Go back and eat. It hurts, this medicine is really god!
The proliferation of Avastin's external label medicines is very detrimental to Nova, because they also have their own products in the field of macular degeneration treatment. These doctors' external label medicines undoubtedly have an extremely negative effect on the sales of Nova's drugs. The effect of this medicine is very good. Why should I spend more money on Nova's medicine?
Now Nova has not paid much attention to this situation, so Shen Long wrote an email, analyzed the situation, and sent it anonymously to Nova executives.
After they know this, they will definitely sue the doctors who label the drugs for external use, and Roche Pharmaceutical will definitely take corresponding measures for their own benefit. The two pharmaceutical giants are fighting, it is interesting, compared with this matter What are the trifles in China?
After all, the current Chinese economy is not well developed, Nova ’s interests in China are far from comparable to Avastin ’s impact on them, and Roche is not so good to deal with. They have extensive litigation experience. If this lawsuit is involved, That will be long, and it can also take this opportunity to expose the greed of pharmaceutical companies.
Roche and Nova will understand that after a period of lawsuits, it is not a good choice for pharmaceutical giants like them to break out of each other, so they will definitely compromise and seek a more effective way of cooperation, such as establishing A community of interests like the Vitamin C Price Alliance monopolizes the market for macular degeneration drugs and raises prices.
It stands to reason that Roche can restart the clinical trials of Avastin. If it is determined to be effective for macular degeneration, this indication can be added to the label, but this drug is developed for cancer because of the amount of use, etc. There are many reasons why ophthalmic patients use this medicine much cheaper than Nova's medicine.
In this case, Roche is not happy, because providing cheaper drugs than the market violates their principles. They have always sold as much as they can, so it is better to unite with Nova to monopolize this market.
Historically, they have done the same. Roche not only did not want to carry out clinical studies of Avastin in the treatment of macular degeneration, but also initiated legal measures to prevent doctors from using Avastin to treat patients with eye diseases.
This behavior caused a lot of uproar in academia, and many governments were extremely dissatisfied with it. The Italian government issued a $ 1.6 billion fine to them, and the French government launched an investigation.
Shen Long's email seemed to have helped them, and Nova had discovered the threat of Avastin in advance. In fact, it had dug a hole in Nova and found them more troublesome.
However, only these are not enough. Nova Corporation is a behemoth after all ~ EbookFREE.me ~ They have full spare time to start two wars at the same time, so Shen Long began to write new mail.
This email is about Nova Corporation using bribes to pass the FDA review. It is not uncommon for pharmaceutical companies to pay bribes around the world. There are many outbreaks in later generations. There are even people who write articles dedicated to the world of Science. In top journals and magazines, looking for Nova's black material can't be easier.
Shen Long exposed the list of people who accepted bribes during Nova's new drug approval process in the mail. These received bribes ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for Nova to facilitate the approval of Nova.
In addition to direct bribery and indirect bribery, many officials responsible for the review of new drugs worked for a few years and then switched to pharmaceutical companies to get high-paying positions. No one would believe it if they were not tired of it. Look at their responsibility during the FDA Review projects, and then look at the list of companies they will go to, people will easily find the existing interest chain.
In addition, Nova Corporation sponsors politicians in various countries. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year to let these people smooth out all kinds of troubles for them. Once exposed, it is a scandal.
Come, hurt each other, see who can't stand it first!
