Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest
Published Dec. 6, 2019
This database was last updated in December 2019 and should only be used as a historical snapshot. There may be new or amended records not reflected here.
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.

Genentech
Other : Dr. Kitchens is an owner of Retina and Vitreous Associates of Kentucky, which reports non-research payments from Genentech.
One of the study drugs (bevacizumab) that is FDA approved and sold by Genentech is being supplied by Leiter’s compounding pharmacy and used off-label in this study.
SCORE2 Comparative Trial (SCT)
Recent trials demonstrated the efficacy of aflibercept as a treatment for macular edema due to CRVO. If bevacizumab is demonstrated to be a non-inferior treatment, this would have important economic and public health implications as bevacizumab is about 40 times cheaper than aflibercept. The trial will also investigate whether the frequency of medication injections into the eye can be reduced in eyes that responded well to treatment, and the impact of alternative treatments in eves that did not respond well to initial treatment.

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.
