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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Clearside Biomedical

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

The GA Tech COI Review Committee determined that Dr. Prausnitz has a Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) on this project because he holds equity in a company that has an option to license the technologies being studied. His financial interest in the technologies being studied and in Clearside could bias or appear to bias the design, conduct, or reporting of this research.

Listed Research Project
Targeting Scleral Stiffness as a Novel Therapeutic Approach in Glaucoma

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, and although treatments exist, these typically only delay the onset of symptoms and eventually fail in many patients. Here we seek to design and test a novel treatment to prevent vision loss in glaucoma by making susceptible ocular tissues more resistant to the biomechanical insult that plays a key role in glaucoma. This treatment would combine synergistically with existing glaucoma therapies.

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.
