CRIS Câncer doará 3,6 milhões para a Vega Oncotargets após controvérsia

A Fundação CRIS Câncer destinará os 3,6 milhões de euros arrecadados para a Vega Oncotargets, empresa fundada por Mariano Barbacid. A decisão ocorre após uma campanha polêmica que gerou expectativas excessivas sobre um tratamento para o câncer de pâncreas.

A fundação declarou que os fundos serão entregues progressivamente ao longo de dois anos, condicionados a marcos supervisionados por um comitê de especialistas. Os resultados do estudo retornarão posteriormente ao Centro Nacional de Pesquisas Oncológicas (CNIO) para validação. A CRIS também fornecerá 750.000 euros ao grupo de Oncologia Experimental do CNIO para dar continuidade aos estudos com camundongos. Barbacid havia renunciado à sua participação de 9,77% na Vega Oncotargets após a emergência de um conflito de interesses não declarado. A Academia Nacional de Ciências dos Estados Unidos retirou temporariamente o estudo publicado na PNAS por esse motivo. O periódico republicou o trabalho posteriormente com a devida divulgação de que Barbacid e dois coautores eram cofundadores da empresa.

Spain's National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) is reviewing whether scientist Mariano Barbacid violated its code of good practices by failing to disclose a conflict of interest in an article retracted by the US National Academy of Sciences. The paper, on a pancreatic cancer therapy tested in mice, was withdrawn because the authors did not declare their shares in Vega Oncotargets, the company set to commercialize the patent. Despite knowing since March, Barbacid did not inform the Cris Cancer Foundation, which raised 3.6 million euros in donations.
