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.

The Inhibition of HSP70 Induces Apoptosis in Pancreatic Cancer Cells
Pancreatic cancer is associated with poor prognosis and resistance to current therapeutic regimens. We have synthesized Minnelide, a water soluble variant of triptolide, which will be entering Phase I clinical trials shortly. Preclinical studies ith this drug have shown great promise. However, the mechanism of action of triptolide is poorly understood. In the current grant proposal, we aim to investigate the mechanism of action of this therapy. Once unraveled, the mechanisms by which triptolide kills pancreatic cancer cells will lead to the development of novel drug targets. Successful completion of these mechanistic and translational studies will eventually help in planning strategies for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

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.
