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

TAXIS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Reimbursed or sponsored travel

One of the projects that Taxis is working on in house overlaps with this study, and involves designing drugs that interfere with FtsZ, a protein essential for bacterial cell division. The drugs most often discussed by the company are TXA 709 and TXA 707. Both are considered to be the precursor molecules for the current study which is focused upon TXY541 and PC190723. However, Dr. Pilch has published on both TXY541 and on TXA 709. Hence, the perception of a COI is fairly clear.

Listed Research Project
Development of New Antibiotics Against Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Project Narrative Antibacterial resistance is an increasingly serious threat to global public health. In recognition of this threat, the President?s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) has recently submitted a report to President Obama underscoring the urgency for the development of new antibiotics. The proposed project will develop new antibiotics that act against a novel bacterial target. Ultimately, the results of the proposed work will enable us to take a major step toward addressing the urgent need for new drugs to treat multidrug-resistant bacterial infections that will be effective even when current drugs fail.

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.
