RELEVANCE (See instructions): The proposed translational studies are extremely important and timely as they will advance our basic understanding of the tumor microenvironment as well as inform trial design and help interpret the data from our planned clinical trials with (i) plerixfor - an FDA-approved anti-CXCR4 agent - for glioblastoma, colorectal and liver cancer, (ii) with anti-ANG2 antibody for glioblastoma, and (iii) with FDA-approved angiotensin II receptor blockers for pancreatic cancer.

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.
