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.

Essa Pharma Inc.
Salary not from the awardee Institution
There is a potential financial conflict of interest (FCOI) between Dr. Marianne Sadar’s NIH funded research and her interest in the company ESSA Pharmaceuticals Inc., which Marianne co-founded. Change in financial value happened in 2015 due to the fact that ESSA became a publically traded company which is currently on the TSX.V and NASDAQ exchanges.
The only change since the last FCOI report is the value of the equity. The current value of Dr. Sadar's shares is (b)(4), which is down from last year's FCOI report.
Delineating the mechanisms of androgen receptor activation function-1 antagonists for development of novel prostate cancer therapeutics
Once prostate cancer becomes castration-resistant there are no long-term or curative therapies that can be offered and the patient will succumb to his disease in a few years. There is mounting evidence supporting the concept that development of castration-resistant disease is causally related to molecular changes affecting the androgen receptor that include expression of constitutively active truncated splice variants that lack a C-terminus ligand-binding domain. Here we propose studies to reveal the mechanisms of antagonists of androgen receptor activation function-1 for further development of novel therapeutics that will delay or prevent hormonal progression to the terminal stage of prostate cancer.

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.
