Drug testing is the first choice for family part-time jobs

College students become the first choice for drug trials.

Clinical trials of new drugs, also known as clinical research, systematically study drugs through human bodies (patients or healthy volunteers), observe the curative effect, and find out whether there are toxic and side effects, how big the side effects are and so on. Before the new drug enters the clinical trial, animal tests have been conducted, and then clinical trials or bioequivalence tests have been conducted; Human trials generally go through one, two, three and four stages. Phase I trial was conducted in healthy people, and the other three phases were selected in patients. College students "drug testing family" participated in phase I clinical trials.

An official of Anhui drug supervision department said that not everyone is qualified to participate in drug testing, and the age is generally limited to 18 to 60 years old. They have no bad hobbies and are in good health. In Chinese mainland, there are three main types of people who take part in phase I drug testing, namely, students, medical personnel and the unemployed. Among them, college students are the most ideal high-quality drug testers with the best physical conditions and cultural literacy. When doing drug trials, they will first consider choosing volunteers from this group of people.

According to industry sources, the number of medical staff has been greatly reduced among the three types of first-phase drug trials. Even if they attend, most of them are ordinary nurses and nursing workers. They try drugs with little toxic side effects, and new drugs with obvious toxic side effects or unknown toxicity, and they will choose between "drug testers" and "professional drug testers".

Professor Tian Kan, deputy dean of the School of Management of Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that there are more than 6,000 pharmaceutical companies in the Mainland, and more than 1 10,000 new drugs are approved for registration every year, while in the United States, there are only about 100 new drugs a year. Although more than 90% of the new drugs in the mainland are generic drugs, clinical trials are still needed, and there is a great demand for drug testers. Not only in Hefei, but also in many big cities such as Nanjing, Beijing and Shanghai, college students are indispensable to participate in drug clinical trials.

Relevant people speculate that the average number of people in the first phase is only 20 (generally 18-24), which exceeds 200,000 person-times every year, which is far greater than this. The "drug testing group" among college students is still growing.

In actual clinical trials, there are not only "drug testers" on campus, but also many "professional drug testers" in society. Just like selling blood a few years ago, there is a special organization, that is, the "drug head", from which the commission is extracted.

Xin Li, a teacher from the School of Pharmacy of Nanjing Medical University, said that there were many irregularities in the clinical trials of drugs in Chinese mainland. In addition, the quality of drug testers is good, the cost is low and it is easy to recruit. Foreign countries also like to take new drugs to the mainland for testing. In 2005, the collective death of many HIV-infected people in the American new drug "Thymic Nucleoprotein Preparation" occurred under such circumstances.

According to public reports,

Professor Tian Kan also served as a member of the "Ethics Committee" of many drug clinical trial institutions in Jiangsu. Tian said that the management of human drug trials abroad is quite strict, the period of drug observation and registration is very long, and there are strict protection measures for drug testers. The economic compensation for drug testers in the United States ranges from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, and the mainland is only one tenth of it.

However, Tian Kan believes that the mainland has made great progress compared with not signing the informed consent form in previous years. The relevant laws and regulations are formulated according to the international guiding standards formulated by the international coordination meeting of technical regulations for the registration of human drugs initiated by the European Union, Japan and the United States in the 1990s. What the mainland lacks is implementation and supervision.

The time of drug testing is mostly at the end of the term or on rest days, which will not affect the study. Jiang Lei took a drug test on 2 1. It was Sunday and the final exam was over.

Wang Bin said that taking part in drug testing has a feeling of self-promotion. Therefore, participation means participation. Under normal circumstances, you won't tell others, and parents and teachers sometimes don't know. Many people hide their families for fear that their parents will worry. "I told my parents, but they didn't support me to take the drug test. I was mainly worried that drugs would cause harm to my body. "
