Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (46.9%), food and beverage and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Novartis accounts for 69.3% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. That places this record below the midpoint for hematology & oncology clinicians in OH, where the typical reported total is $2,354.
Across 11 payments — averaging $71.37 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Novartis$544
- Eisai Inc.$122
- Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC$100
- Pinnacle Biologics, Inc$19
Across 27 payments — averaging $21,175 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.

Who reported the general payments

| Eisai Inc. | 3 | $122 |
| Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC | 1 | $100 |

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
- ILARIS$322
