ONGOING CLINICAL TRIALS

This category is for work that is ongoing. It is to inform and inspire, and/or to invite the collaboration of others. It is to not to discuss the trial results, either preliminary or formally completed - presentations with this type of information should be submitted as regular abstracts. 


Trials with any type of focus may be submitted (treatment, prevention, biomarker endpoints, supportive care, educational, and psychosocial endpoints). 

What should be presented in the abstract and eventually in the poster is: 

  • A brief background discussion
  • Trial design
  • Eligibility criteria
  • Specific aims
  • Statistical methods
  • Present accrual and target accrual
  • Contact information for people with a specific interest in the trial

Again, inclusion of preliminary or final trial results will disqualify an abstract in this category and is not allowed on the poster, though information on accrual to date or confirmation of feasibility is acceptable. Poster presentations in the Ongoing Clinical Trials category are not subject to SABCS pre-publication and embargo policies.


Clinical Case Studies

This category is for clinical cases or clinical vignettes to present interesting patient cases. Only submissions with a clinical trainee as the corresponding author will be considered for presentation (example - medical student, resident, fellow).

 

 


Late Breaking Abstracts

Late breaking submissions will open on August 21 and close on September 30. A placeholder abstract for late-breaking abstracts is not required during the general call for abstracts. Only paradigm shifting basic science discovery, or translational or clinical research of relevance to patients will be considered. Please note that, due to program schedule considerations, most if not all late acceptances will be programmed as posters.
