okay folks, here is the skinny.

I called ASCO and inquired regarding the TPS policy. Basically there will be no results or conclusions in the abstract releases on May 14th. That section is not allowed in TPS abstracts and they do go through a review process that should preclude that.

With regard to the caret..."that means some exception was made". Could be why the abstract I pulled allowed some results to be disclosed.

With regard to other TPS abstracts with data and no obvious exception noted; those represent the few presenters that break the policy. They do not have ASCO police checking and tearing down posters that are forbidden. The person I talked to said they beefed up their policy information on the website, "forbidden" verbage, to try and convey more clearly what they expect.

NWBO could present data in their poster on the trial, but it would go against the policy and wishes of those organizing the meeting.
