Filing Type

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

Movease, Inc.

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

Movease, Inc. plans to commercialize a kit that would tell clinicians how to use hyaluronidase to treat muscle stiffness resulting from spasticity. The goal of this grant is to test the effect of hyaluronidase on upper limb motor outcomes, evaluate the effect of hyaluronidase on neural and non-neural components of muscle stiffness, and elucidate the effect of hyaluronidase on intramuscular GAG content quantified non-invasively by proton T1ρ relaxation mapping on muscle MRI. At its conclusion, this study will provide mechanistic and behavioral evidence for a novel, practical, and potentially transforming approach to treat muscle stiffness and reduce the burden of disability after neurological injury.

Listed Research Project
Peripheral Modulation of Muscle Stiffness and Spasticity

Muscle stiffness and spasticity cause severe disability in approximately 12 million people after neurologic injury of cerebral or spinal origin. Upper limb spasticity and muscle stiffness are associated with reduced functional independence and a four-fold increase in health care costs, and remain challenging to treat with current options. This project is of significant public health importance, because it will advance the scientific basis for a new treatment for muscle stiffness to enhance functional recovery and reduce disability.

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.
