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

Shape Memory Therapeutics Inc.

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

The Principal on the project has a subaward to SMT. SMT also holds a patent license that includes intellectual property (IP) that generated prior to the U01. IP that results from the U01 will be considered for inclusion into the existing license. All licensing decisions are made by Texas A&M Technology and Commercialization (TTC) with consultation from TEES.

Listed Research Project
Shape Memory Polymer Embolic Foams for Treating Cerebrovascular Aneurysms

We propose to develop a shape memory polymer (SMP) foam embolic device for treating cerebrovascular aneurysms. The SMP implants are superior to current clinical alternatives in that they 1) acutely clot faster and more completely throughout th aneurysm volume and 2) chronically heal by forming collagenous scars. Cerebral aneurysm rupture occurs in approximately 30,000 people per year in the United States with devastating consequences. Three-fourths of patients will either die or become neurologically debilitated. In order to apply to the FDA by the end of this study with an IDE application, the following three specific aims are proposed. Specific Aim 1: Engineering, Quality System (QS) and Manufacturing. Specific Aim 2: Design Verification. Specific Aim 3: Design Validation.

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.
