Listed Research Project
Human-Enzyme Mediated, Systemic Depletion of Cystine for Cancer Treatment.

Major drawbacks to current treatments of Prostate cancer (PCa) are resistance to androgen ablation therapy and chemotherapy associated toxicities that severely compromise quality of life. The finding that PCa (and other cancer types) display an excessive requirement of the amino acid L-cysteine relative to non-malignant tissues has led to the development of a completely novel therapeutic approach to treat PCa that exploits this critical vulnerability by using an engineered human enzyme to deprive tumor cells of L-cysteine. Most if not all normal tissue can make L-cysteine from the essential amino acid L-Methionine, thus only tumors are highly impacted when L-cysteine is unavailable.

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.
