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.

Molecular Pathogenesis and Phenotype of Acquired CFTR Dysfunction in COPD
The advent of potentiators of CFTR activity raises the possibility that pharmacologic enhancement of dysfunctional CFTR may ameliorate diseases in individuals with acquired forms of CFTR dysfunction, even in individuals without mutations in the CF gene. An understanding of the mechanism and severity of lower airway CFTR dysfunction in COPD will lead to new insights into disease pathogenesis and establish CFTR as a therapeutic target in the disease. Completion of this proposal with define a novel COPD sub-phenotype characterized by CFTR dysfunction, and set the stage for further studies to explore the role of CFTR modulation in patients with COPD.

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.
