2017 – Abstract – THNO – NBTXR3 in combination with IMRT in patients with locally advanced HNSCC

At the 2017 THNO in Nice, France, prof. C. Le Tourneau presented preliminary results of NBTXR3 in patients suffering from HNSCC. The treatment was associated with a positive safety profile, and preliminary effiacy evaluation, the local Complete Response rate is 83 % (dose level15% and 22%), with a duration of response of 22 months.

2017 – A phase 1 trial of NBTXR3 nanoparticles activated by IMRT in the treatment of advanced-stage head and neck carcinoma

Functionalized hafnium oxide nanoparticles (NBTXR3) have been developed as selective radioenhancers, which may represent a breakthrough approach for the local treatment of solid tumors. The high electron density of the nanoparticles, when exposed to radiotherapy (RT), allow the absorption/deposition of a high radiation dose within the tumor cells, to physically kill the cells and possibly improve outcome.
