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.

Vitamin D and Follicular Lymphoma
PROJECT NARRATIVE Several studies suggest Vitamin D deficiency is correlated with inferior outcome after treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In this proposal, we will conduct a randomized clinical trial (ILyAD: Indolent lymphoma and vitamin D) comparing standard rituximab therapy with vitamin D supplementation to standard rituximab therapy and placebo in patients with low tumor burden indolent lymphoma. We will also explore predictors of response to vitamin D supplementation within this clinical study.

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.
