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

Personal Genome Diagnostics

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution

The work of Personal Genome Diagnostics (“PGDx”) is broadly related to research being carried out

under this grant. The company has licensed technology of which Dr. Rizvi is a co‐inventor and is entitled

to a share of licensing/royalties through his previous employer (Memorial Sloan Kettering) for the use of

tumor burden mutation to predict response to immune checkpoint blockade. Columbia's FCOI

Committee found a possibility that Dr. Rizvi’s significant financial interest in PGDx could directly and

significantly affect the design, conduct or reporting of the R35.

Listed Research Project
Towards Precision Immuno-Oncology: Unraveling the Genomic Determinants and Mechanisms Underlying Immunotherapy Efficacy and Resistance

PROJECT NARRATIVE This proposal focuses on elucidating the genetic determinants and mechanisms underlying immune checkpoint blockade therapy efficacy and resistance. We propose to use a combination of systematic large-scale genomics, preclinical animal modeling, integrated immunogenomics profiling, and mechanism-directed immunologic analyses to establish a robust understanding of sensitivity and resistance to immune checkpoint blockade. Our studies will build the foundation for the precise and individual application on immunotherapy for cancer patients.

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.
