This database was last updated in December 2019 and should only be used as a historical snapshot. There may be new or amended records not reflected here.
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.

In vivo real time detection of circulating melanoma cells
The capability of a painless, noninvasive, labeling-free, photoacoustic flow cytometry for selective, time-resolved detection of photoacoustic signals from different vessels will be assessed in (1) white and black healthy volunteers and (2) melanoma patients at different stages of disease, in whom circulating metastatic melanoma cells will be quantitatively determined. In the course of this study, we will obtain statistically significant data that will demonstrate this innovative technique's unprecedented capability for quantitatively monitoring circulating melanoma cells in vivo without the need for labeling. The benefits to the public health of achieving this goal extend to the routine monitoring of circulatin cells as early markers of micrometastatic development and cancer recurrence in vivo in melanoma patients, as well as to evaluating the efficacy of 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.
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.
