The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Acetylon Pharmaceuticals

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

Dr. Kenneth Anderson is the co-PI of this grant, and will help Dr. Hideshima plan, carry out, analyze, and publish proposed studies to define the role of HDAC3 in myeloma biology (Aim 1), as well as validate prototype inhibitors using the in vitro (Aim 2) and in vivo (Aim 3) models of myeloma in the bone marrow microenvironment. Dr. Anderson’s financial interest in Acetylon is related to this grant because the company is developing small molecule inhibitors that target chromatin modifying enzymes, including HDAC and could have an interest in the results of this grant. Accordingly, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Conflicts of Interest Committee determined that a reasonable person could conclude that Dr. Anderson’s interests Acetylon Pharmaceuticals could affect the design, conduct, or reporting of this research, and that this Management Plan is required to ensure the integrity of the research.

Listed Research Project
Functional and biologic significance of deacetylase3 inhibition in myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy, and novel therapeutic agents are urgently needed. Non-selective deacetylase (DAC) inhibitors show remarkable anti-myeloma (MM) activity; however, their clinical utility is limited by adverse effects. This project investigates biologic and functional significance of DAC3 in MM, as well as produces and preclinically validates novel selective DAC3 inhibitors for translation to clinical trials to improve patient outcome in MM.

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.
