Filing Type

Conflict of Interest

Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Keros Therapeutics

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

The research will assess the use of implantable microdevices (IMD) to measure local intratumor response to multiple agents with the long-term goal of developing a treatment regimen for men with high-risk prostate cancer to treat occult metastatic disease as well as the local tumor by utilizing neoadjuvant therapy. Kibur Medical is developing IMDs. While the company is primarily focused on breast cancers, the use of a similar device in prostate cancer, if successful, it could increase interest in Kibur’s devices.

Listed Research Project
Pilot study of an implantable microdevice to test multiple drug responses in prostate cancer patients

This project will demonstrate that micro-doses of multiple agents can be used to effectively screen for and allow the specific tailoring of an optimal treatment with a neo-adjuvant regimen, for patients with high-risk prostate cancer. In addition, the research will be of significance, because we will be able to correlate potential biomarkers of tumor response to multiple drugs by examining the tumor for genetic and physiologic changes resulting from the micro-doses, thus contributing to a broader impact on onco-biology.

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.
