Published Dec. 6, 2019
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.

Complexa, Inc.
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
Dr. Schopfer's conflict arises due to his interest as an inventor of the intellectual property being evaluated/developed in this bench research, which the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Alabama, Birmingham licensed to Complexa. Dr. Schopfer also consults for Complexa and has an ownership interest in the company.
The Immunoregulatory Effects of Electrophilic Fatty Acids on Psoriasis
To date there is a variety of topical and systemic treatments for use in psoriatic patients; however, these treatments are not effective in all patients, relapse tend to occur, and less than 40% of patients are satisfied with their current therapies. Additionally, therapeutics for psoriasis include the use of systemic acting immuno- suppressive drugs; which, the immuno-suppression and long-term adverse effects can lead to infections and cancer. Thus, the goal of this proposal is to determine if the highly beneficial health effects of electrophilic fatty acids can be safely translated into therapeutics for psoriasis and other cutaneous inflammatory diseases.

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.
