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.

A blood test to identify prostate cancer patients at risk for visceral metastasis
Project Narrative Visceral metastasis (VM) in prostate cancer (PCa) is spread of cancer to organs such as the lungs and liver (rather than bone or lymph nodes). VM are clinically important and point toward a reduction in survival, but they are often found late when organ function is compromised. The long-term goal of this academic-industrial partnership R01 proposal is to introduce a new, low- cost, diagnostic technology that will identify patients at risk for VM to facilitate early detection of VM in PCa.

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.
