Submission Process Begins: March 22, 2010

Late breaking trials are typically first-time worldwide presentations of the primary endpoint or important secondary endpoint results of prospective, randomized clinical trials, presentations of large-scale, impactful single-center or multicenter registries, or first-in-man experiences with novel devices or drugs.
Studies accepted as late breaking trials will be presented in the Main Arena at TCT 2010. In addition to being presented in the Main Arena, late breaking trials are also presented during press conferences scheduled on the same days as the presentations.
One application must be submitted for each late breaking trial. Presentations of accepted late breaking trials prior to TCT 2010 are strictly embargoed. Submissions may not be withdrawn for negative results and such actions will negatively impact future applications from both the applicant and the trial sponsor.
