Please refer to the criteria below if you are submitting a late breaking or ongoing clinical trial abstract:

• Late Breaking Abstracts: The ASBrS will accept late breaking abstracts specific to prospective clinical trials only. Abstracts that concern other data types will not be considered. To qualify as a late breaking abstract, submit a placeholder abstract by the general abstract deadline of November 6, 2019. The placeholder abstract should include background, methods and details of the clinical trial sample size and potential implications of trial findings. The final version of the abstract is due on February 5, 2020. The final version of the late breaking abstract must include the final results. These abstracts will be considered by the Publications Committee for presentation, and those accepted will be notified.
• Current Accruing Prospective Clinical Trials: This new category is for current accruing prospective clinical trials. It is to update and stimulate, and/or to invite discussion and cooperation of other investigators. This category must not include any trial results but can include information about the types of patients and clinical/pathologic or feasibility information on participants accrued to date. All types of prospective clinical trials can be submitted (treatment, prevention, biomarker endpoints, supportive care, educational, and psychosocial endpoints). Abstracts submitted to this category will be considered for poster presentation only.

All abstracts and videos must be submitted through our on-line submission portal no later than 3:00 pm ET on November 6, 2019.
