Conflict of Interest

The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Listed Research Project
Preparation and Planning for the Prospective Randomized Image-guided Ophthalmic Surgery Clinical Trials

Project Narrative Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been a transformational technology for guiding clinical management in vitreoretinal interface diseases and directly impacting treatment decision-making in both macular holes and epiretinal membranes. Although studies have suggested that image-guided surgery with intraoperative OCT has significant value during macular surgery for surgical decision-making, definitive trials are needed to provide guidance on the role for intraoperative OCT and its value to patient care. This research activity?s focus is on the development and planning of two randomized controlled clinical trials to evaluate the role for image-guided macular surgery utilizing intraoperative OCT to minimize positioning burden in macular hole surgery and for to maximize surgical efficiency for epiretinal membrane surgery.

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.
