CIT First Report Clinical Studies are first-time worldwide presentations of the primary endpoint or important secondary endpoint results of prospective, randomized clinical trials, or the first worldwide presentations of large-scale, impactful single-center or multicenter registries, or first-in-man experiences with novel devices or drugs. Studies accepted as First Report Clinical Studies will be presented in the Main Arena at CIT 2008 on Thursday, March 20, 2008. An application must be submitted for each First Report Clinical Study that you are proposing. By submitting an application, you are warranting that the trial or study is likely to be completed and will be presented at CIT if accepted, whether the results are positive or negative. Presentations of accepted First Report Clinical Studies prior to CIT are strictly embargoed.

Note: Accepted First Report Clinical Studies may not be withdrawn for negative results. Such action will negatively impact future applications from both the applicant and the trial sponsor.
