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.

Germ-line miRNA binding site variants as biomarkers of toxicity and response to checkpoint inhibition
PROJECT NARRATIVE Tailoring cancer therapy to allow the best cure, or response, with the fewest side effects, or toxicity, from therapy is a very high priority for cancer care. While biomarkers of response exist, functional biomarkers predicting toxicity have never been identified and applied to direct treatment. We have identified a new class of differences between people that predict toxicity to cancer treatments involving the immune system, and believe that their application has the potential to radically change how we personalize this approach to cancer treatment in the near future.

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.
