Conflict of Interest

The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Listed Research Project
Inhibiting Bcl-2-regulated intestinal fibrosis in models of Crohn’s Disease

Two-thirds of patients with Crohn's disease will require surgery to remove scarred and obstructed fibrotic intestine, but there are currently no medical therapies for intestinal fibrosis in Crohn's disease. We propose to translate the growing basic science understanding of intestinal fibrosis into validated gut-specific lead compounds for the safe and effective treatment of intestinal fibrosis that could produce a future ?strictureplasty in a pill?. The proposed project could validate a molecular target for treatment of intestinal fibrosis in Crohn's disease, which will also be relevant to several other forms of organ fibrosis which affect tens of millions of people in the US, including kidney failure, liver cirrhosis, congestive heart failure, scleroderma, and pulmonary fibrosis.

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.
