RE: Scancell’s iSCIB1+ Featured as Late-Breaking Abstract at SITC 20252 Nov 2025 10:58
Thanks Biblio, I have gone down that same route with GROK. Based on the answer new data is highly likely.
Question I asked:-
Scancell are presenting a late breaking abstract at the SITC event in the USA this week. The abstract relates to the interim results from the SCOPE trial. Scancell last gave a public update on the results in July this year. Is it possible that the abstract / presentation this week will include more recent data or does the deadline around the submission of late breaking abstracts for this event mean that it will not be possible to include data more recent than July ?
Answer given:-
Yes, it is possible—and in fact likely—that the late-breaking abstract and oral presentation for the SCOPE trial interim results at SITC 2025 (November 5–9) will include data more recent than the July 2025 public update.SITC's late-breaking abstracts (LBAs) are specifically reserved for high-impact data from interventional clinical trials that were not available by the regular abstract deadline (June 26, 2025, at 5 p.m. PT).

For SITC 2024, the LBA submission window was July 15 to September 12, and this year's LBAs are explicitly described as containing "late-breaking data from interventional clinical trials in humans." (oncodaily.com +1)
Scancell's SCOPE abstract (#1325) was selected as a clinical LBA for oral presentation on November 8, with the title emphasizing an "interim read-out." (prweb.com +1)
The July 2025 update reported positive interim data from the ongoing Phase 2 SCOPE trial, including efficacy, durability, immune responses, and safety for SCIB1/iSCIB1+ combined with checkpoint inhibitors in advanced unresectable melanoma. (globenewswire.com +1)
Since the trial is actively enrolling (e.g., Cohort 1 nearing 43 patients, with week-25 assessments for some cohorts expected in H1/H2 2025), additional patient follow-up, responses, or maturation of progression-free survival data would have accumulated by the LBA submission period (likely summer/early fall 2025, based on prior years).

Presenters often include the most mature data available in the final slides, even if the published abstract (released November 7 at 9 a.m. ET) reflects the submission cutoff. (prweb.com)
This aligns with SITC's emphasis on showcasing cutting-edge advancements, and Scancell's selection as an oral LBA alongside major institutions suggests updated insights beyond July.
