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

Mode AGC

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution

Prof. Doyle has equity in and a license agreement with Mode AGC. The research will (or may) use an algorithm that is related to Mode AGC. The algorithm is one of multiple that the investigator evaluates in simulation before committing to a form for clinical evaluation. Factors that go into determining which algorithm will be used include: simulation performance, clinical endpoint metrics, suitability for the platform (computational complexity), relevance to the student or postdoc research project (i.e., sometimes the algorithm drives the study, which is used to validate the research results).

Listed Research Project
Clinical Acceptance of the Artificial Pancreas: the International Diabetes Closed Loop (iDCL) Trial

Clinical Acceptance of the Artificial Pancreas: the International Diabetes Closed Loop (iDCL) Trial To be ultimately successful as optimal treatment for type 1 diabetes, the artificial pancreas needs to prove its safety and efficacy in long-term pivotal trials in the patient's natural environment. Based on our extensive track record and established technology, we now propose a multi-center project involving 9 research sites in the U.S. and Europe, designed to demonstrate improvement in the two key parameters of diabetes control: HbA1c and risk for hypoglycemia. In two consecutive studies we will: (i) demonstrate superior long-term safety and efficacy of the artificial pancreas compared to sensor-augmented pump therapy, and (ii) test the added benefits of a new forward-looking adaptive closed-loop control strategy. Our ultimate goal is to establish a new diabetes treatment paradigm: the artificial pancreas is not a single-function device; it is an adaptable wearable network surrounding the patient in a digital treatment ecosystem.

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.
