Late-breaking research guidelines

The committees invite researchers to submit abstracts describing their most recent results given that this data was not available or ready for publication by the time general abstract submission closed. Priority will be given to new therapies, pivotal trials and novel results that have potential to be practice changing or studies that may have an impact on health care policy and access to treatment.

Abstracts not eligible for submission
  1. An abstract is ineligible for consideration if it reports work that has been previously published or has been accepted for publication as a manuscript that will be published prior to the 7th IFPA Conference (World Psoriasis & Psoriatic Arthritis Conference 2024). This includes information such as full-length article, brief report, case report, concise communication, or letter to the editor, etc.
  2. Applicants should not submit abstracts that include material that has already been presented at previous scientific meetings.
  3. The same study should not be submitted as multiple abstracts. Abstracts that appear as more than one version of a single study will be withdrawn without notice.
  4. Submissions will be withdrawn without notice if they include any commercial/promotional messages or corporate logos.
Period for submission of late-breaking abstracts

The portal for submitting late-breaking abstracts is open between the 15th of March and 19th of April 2024, 4pm CET.

The Scientific Executive Committee of the 7th IFPA Conference welcomes abstracts for poster and oral presentations within the fields of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (Psoriatic Disease) in clinical practice, research and advocacy.

The committee will select a few of the submitted abstracts for oral presentations.

Review Process

The criteria for accepting abstracts will be based on the degree of originality.

Reviewers will evaluate the clinical relevance, the methodological quality and the quality of the abstract.

The Scientific Committee reserves the right to decline a presentation for any submitted abstracts that lack scientific content or merit, or merely announces the availability of a resource or service.

To make the reviewing process efficient and the selection of abstracts as objective as possible, the following submission guidelines must be observed.
