Lots of posts questioning why didn't we get the 700mg results back in January. I too have been wondering that given the abstract I shared.

Not sure if anyone has read the embargo policies for ILC 2022 but you can find them here https://easl.eu/event/international-liver-con...go-policy/

You'll note that June 8th was a magical day for poster sessions and oral sessions

Quote:
D. Accepted abstracts selected for the following sessions should not be disclosed before 08:00 BST on Wednesday, 8 June 2022 (i.e. two weeks before the start of the congress).

Oral sessions (excluding General Session I, General Session II, Late-breaker Session, or pre-selected abstracts for potential inclusion in an ILC press conference)
Poster sessions (excluding pre-selected abstracts for potential inclusion in an ILC press conference)

Given that we lost out on Jonah Sacha presenting at that HIV conference due to violating the embargo policy, could it be that is why they kept the results under wrap?

The consequences of breaking the embargo

Quote:
Examples of breaking the embargo include publishing data from the abstract in a journal or via a public outlet before the abstract is presented at the congress. Violation of the embargo policy, above, will be taken seriously. Individuals and/or sponsors who violate it may face sanctions relating to current and future abstract submissions, presentations, and visibility at EASL event. The EASL Governing Board is at liberty to ban attendance and/or retract data.

What's interesting is there is another deadline, June 22 for late breaking abstracts. We have yet to hear about those. It might be worth keeping an eye on those as we get closer. Maybe there is more to this story?

B. ILC Late-breaker abstracts (poster presentations only): Data from abstracts submitted during the late-breaker submission period and which have been selected for poster presentation may not be disclosed before the start of ILC 2022 at 08:00 BST on Wednesday, 22 June 2022 (the opening day of the congress).
