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

Acuplaq, Inc.

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

Based on Washington University’s (WU) Research COI Policy and the Procedures for Determining and Managing Research Financial Conflicts of Interests, WU determined Dr. Wickline's personal financial relationship with Acuplaq, Inc., related to the above referenced research creates a financial conflict of interest due to the following reasons:

•Dr. Wickline's personal financial relationship is directly related to the study because the studies are utilizing and evaluating his Intellectual Property, “Nanoparticles Functionalized with Small Molecule Inhibitors of Coagulation”, which is licensed by Acuplaq

•If the results of the study are favorable it could impact the value of the IP, which could also increase the value of the entity

•Dr. Wickline's role as the PI of the study, in designing the study, collecting and analyzing data, reporting the results, oversight of the research, supervising individuals involved with the research could directly affect the outcome of the study

Listed Research Project
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY THERAPEUTICS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Inflammation in atherosclerotic plaque is a key promoter of acute vascular syndromes (i.e., thrombosis). The theme of this proposal is the development and testing of nanoparticle based approaches for the diagnosis and therapy of cardiovascular diseases to detect, treat, and monitor unstable atheroma. We seek to develop new molecularly targeted nanotherapies that interrupt inflammatory signaling molecules with the clinical goal of reducing the propensity toward thrombosis in acute vascular syndromes. These will be tested in vivo in mouse models as single agent and combination therapies.

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.
