I thought it was a poster but seems just a publication. Gradually building visibility but I wanted more.
Asco is different to esmo and aacr and more stringent.
From AI reasons why it maybe wasn't selected as a poster...
Early-phase, single-arm study — small patient numbers overall (especially mature SGC data), heavily pre-treated population, immature survival data (PFS "not reached" but with relatively short follow-up at cutoff).
No randomized comparator — "better than historical" is helpful but not as compelling as head-to-head data for high-profile slots.
Incremental vs. transformative at this stage — Many Phase 1 updates show responses/safety signals. ASCO prioritizes larger, randomized, or practice-changing results for oral/poster slots (e.g., Phase 2/3 data, novel mechanisms with broad impact, or biomarker-driven breakthroughs).
Rare disease context — Salivary gland cancers are uncommon, so the patient pool and general oncology audience interest may be narrower than for common tumors like lung, breast, or colorectal.
So basically, no consideration given to the fact this is not a new drug so stands apart from others
