Abstract submission

Abstract submission is an important part of the 6th European CAR T-cell Meeting. As a participant, you will have the opportunity to submit an abstract or case report for this meeting, and (if accepted) have the possibility to discuss it with the international faculty and your peers.

We would like to encourage especially young investigators to submit their abstracts for a chance to be featured in the main program! 40 and under are considered Young Investigators. 

Please note that the submission of an abstract / case report constitutes a formal commitment by the author to attend the meeting in Valencia (if the abstract is accepted) and, if required, present the abstract as an oral presentation or Poster in the session and the time assigned by the Scientific Program Committee. 

Guidelines for the abstract/case report submission:

  • Text 300 words max
  • They can be structured (e.g. Objectives, Methods, Results, Conclusions). 
  • Mention all the authors
  • Disclosures of the authors

Topics for case reports:

  1. Clinical case on Lymphoma 
  2. Clinical case on Adult/Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia 
  3. Clinical case on Multiple Myeloma
  4. Clinical case on other indications 

 Topics for abstracts:

  1. CAR-based Cellular Therapy – Preclinical:
    1. engineering, expansion, and optimisation of CAR-T cells for preclinical cell therapy research;
    2. in vitro and in vivo (animal models) assays to functionally evaluate produced CAR-T cells, including direct tumour killing/activity, cytokine production, and memory responses;
    3. pre-clinical and mechanistic studies of the toxicities of these therapies.
  2. CAR-based Cellular Therapy – Clinical:
    1. clinical investigations into therapeutic applications of CAR-T cell in oncology and other fields, adult/pediatric indications;
    2. challenges of CAR-based cellular therapy (improving effectiveness, CAR-T cell persistence and reducing toxicity of the therapy);
    3. diagnosis and treatment of toxicities (early and late).
