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

Presage Biosciences

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Other : Intellectual property rights from the awardee institution (note that under the Institution's policy, this is a significant financial interest if a conflict involves human subjects research)

The project makes use of the CIVO platform, which was invented by Dr. Olson and exclusively licensed by the Institution to Presage. The value of Dr. Olson’s financial interest in Presage could be impacted depending on the outcome of this research.

Listed Research Project
Combinations of Synergistic Bispecific Human Antibodies: A Novel Strategy for the Treatment of Neuroblastoma

PROJECT NARRATIVE This project will bring to the Consortium a dozen well-characterized, fully human antibodies against the neuroblastoma target Gypican-2, two novel in vivo immuno-oncology assay systems (CIVO and MISTRG mice), and a promising, double bispecific antibody therapeutic strategy. The antibodies and assay systems will be opened up for Consortium members for use in developing their therapeutic modalities of choice. The use of two bispecific molecules simultaneously should allow for a uniquely potent and selective targeting of neuroblastoma, and not only would the lead molecules be ready for the clinic, but success would demonstrate a generalizable approach to the treatment of almost any cancer, even those that fail to express a cancer-specific antigen.

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.
