Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Neon Therapeutics

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)

The goal of Neon Therapeutics is to develop and implement immunotherapy treatments to target personal tumor neoantigens. The grant proposes to conduct a Phase II trial in which AML patients with high risk features who undergo allogeneic transplantation in remission will undergo post-transplant vaccination with donor DC/AML fusions alone or in conjunction with HMA. The proposed work will assess the immunological response following post-transplant vaccination alone or with HMA, and will use a murine leukemia model to test the effects of second generation checkpoint inhibitors, RGMb and TIM3, alone or in combination with PD-1 blockade on DC/AML fusion vaccine response. The results of this Work, specifically the neoantigen-related work, could directly and significantly impact the business of Neon and be of scientific relevance to its ongoing development efforts.

Listed Research Project
SPORE in Myeloid Malignancies

Overall Project Narrative Myeloid malignancies are cancers that caused by overgrowth of bone marrow stem cells, leading to abnormal production of blood cells. Understanding the mechanisms that allow such overgrowth will provide an avenue to develop therapeutic strategies that specifically inhibiting the abnormal pathways and/or aid the patient's own immune system to recognize these abnormal cells. Research in the SPORE will develop new therapies that could be more specifically effective than current cytotoxic drugs.

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.
