Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Vivid

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

Vivid is a start-up co-founded by Dr. Letai in 2018. Vivid is in the process of exclusively licensing from DFCI the BH3 profiling and dynamic BH3 profiling technology invented by Dr. Letai for use in the field of cancer. This project studies AML samples, cell lines, and murine primagrafts of AML with the overall goal of identifying drugs that induce death signaling in AML, and testing the ability to predict drug action in individual cases in vivo using BH3 profiling. The project aims to develop BH3 profiling as a predictive biomarker approach for single agents or drug combinations in AML. The results of this Work could be of scientific relevance to Vivid because it could demonstrate the effectiveness or ineffectiveness BH3 profiling as a predictive tool for evaluating therapeutic options. Given the early stage of Vivid, this work could directly and significantly impact the business direction of Vivid.

Listed Research Project
Development of Novel Therapeutic Strategies in Human Leukemias

RELEVANCE (See instructions): The overall goal of this program is to develop more effective and less toxic therapies for the treatment of leukemia. We will explore the targeting of epigenetic regulators, ubiquitin ligases, lysine acetyltransferases, and modulators of apoptotic threshold. Following pre-clinical studies in common model systems, the most promising therapies will be tested in clinical trials with deep molecular characterization of patient samples.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
