Recuerdo
This company has been started by two researchers who have worked in Alzheimer's disease (AD) for many years. The plan is to use combination therapy In subjects with early AD. One of the medications is an FDA-approved drug. The other is an antibody directed toward amyloid, one of the abnormal proteins that accumulate in AD. I will be advising the company on clinical study design and chairing their scientific advisory board. At some point they may ask members of the scientific advisory board to either help them with discussions with the FDA concerning a trial, or accompany them to a meeting at the FDA. The latter would be on vacation time. The attached letter/agreement represents what Recuerdo would like to do, and serves as their contract with me. However, so far they have not succeeded in getting Qualified Financing, so nothing is happening. While there are proposed meetings scheduled and consulting monies proposed, none of these things has come to pass, and it is not clear when they will be ready to move forward. When they do I will alter the report. I have listed an estimated amount of remuneration; they feel currently that they owe approximately $6,000 to me at this point. All of the work I have done has been on weekends or in the evenings; there have been no meetings or conference calls. They had scheduled a meeting of the 3 members of the SAB in early June but cancelled it. Therefore I am uncertain about how to further characterize the time commitment and expected remuneration.
Recuerdo ("Memory" in Spanish) is a new company just forming. It is run by colleagues at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, Sam Gandy and Tamas Bartfei. Most of my activities will take place in weekend teleconferences. There may be annual meetings in NYC; their first meeting had been scheduled in the spring but was canceled, as they had not secured their qualified finances. At this point, although they wish to have annual meetings, they have had none and my discussions with them have been limited and taking place on weekends.

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.
