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.

Listed Research Project
Plasma DSC for early detection of disease and therapeutic efficacy in melanoma

Although effective treatment of melanoma is critically dependent on early and accurate detection, PET/CT imaging is only used every 2-3 months as a result of radiation burden and expense. The goal of this proposal is to build upon our significant promising preliminary data to demonstrate the feasibility and utility of DSC analysis o blood plasma as a new, non-invasive diagnostic tool. Our approach could enable more frequent monitoring and facilitate early detection of recurrences and early assessment of therapeutic response in melanoma that can directly impact the clinical care of 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.
