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.

Effectiveness of Physiologic Testing in PPI Non-Responders
Project Narrative Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is an increasingly common medical condition affecting up to twenty percent of the adult US population. Despite the fact that treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) is extremely effective, up to 30-50% of patients are unsatisfied with their response and continue to have refractory symptoms. This proposal seeks to identify physiologic parameters that are related to PPI therapy requirement and response to escalation of PPI therapy, and apply these results to guide the formal development of a clinical algorithm for the management of patients who are not responsive to PPI therapy.

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.
