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

SurgiVance Inc.

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

SurgiVance has certain IP rights in and relating to video assisted micrographic surgery (VAMS). The research project and study protocol(s) involve early stage validation of the VAMS machine, and SurgiVance may in the future benefit from these findings.

Listed Research Project
Clinical translation of video assisted micrographic surgery for staged cancer removal

We propose to develop, refine, and validate a trimodal confocal imaging device that will provide sensitive and specific diagnosis of surgical margins immediately following cancer resection. The device will be validated through clinical trials concerning skin cancer removal defining a process designated Video Assisted Micrographic Surgery (VAMS). Once validated, VAMS has the potential to transform cancer surgery by decreasing operative time and cost and enhancing specificity and sensitivity of margin assessment.

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.
