2021 – Radiation enhancing NBTXR3 for the treatment of cisplatin-ineligible locally advanced HNSCC patients

The non-surgical standard of care (SOC) for the treatment of locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(LA HNSCC) is concurrent chemoradiation with high dose cisplatin or cetuximab in case of contra-indication to cisplatin. However elderly patients, and those with poor performance status, comorbidities, and/or intolerance, may not benefit from these SOC treatments and represent a high unmet need. […]

2021 – Results from the phase I dose-escalation study of the radiation enhancer NBTXR3 for the treatment of HCC and liver metastases

Treatment of unresectable liver cancer or liver metastases (mets) by stereotactic body radiotherapy is well tolerated but limited by the need to preserve liver function. Increasing energy deposition in the tumor while at the same time maintaining the dose in healthy tissue remains a major challenge in radiation oncology that could be achieved by NBTXR3 (hafnium oxide nanoparticles) when activated by radiotherapy (RT). […]

2021 – A new radio-enhancer, PEP503 (NBTXR3), in combination with concurrent chemoradiation in locally advanced or unresectable rectal cancer: The dose-finding part of a phase I/II trial

PEP503 (as known as NBTXR3) is a novel radio-enhancer composed of functionalized hafnium oxide nanoparticles for a higher energy deposit by radiotherapy comparing to radiotherapy alone without it. A prior phase 3 study for soft tissue sarcoma has demonstrated the clinical benefit. […]

2021 – Eur J Surg Oncol – STS Retrospective Study

Locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) management may include neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment by radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy (CT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by wide surgical excision. While pathological complete response (pCR) to preoperative treatment is prognostic for survival in osteosarcomas, its significance for STS is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of pCR to pre-operative treatment on 3-year disease-free survival (3y-DFS) in STS patients. […]

2021 – Eur J Cancer – NBTXR3 Phase I in HNSCC

This phase I study assessed the safety of first-in-class radioenhancer nanoparticles, NBTXR3, in elderly or frail patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), ineligible for chemoradiation. This is an observational, retrospective, international, study of adult patients with primary non-metastatic STS of the extremities and trunk wall, any grade, diagnosed between 2008 and 2012, treated with at least neoadjuvant treatment and surgical resection and observed for a minimum of 3 years after diagnosis. […]

2020 – Review of Clinical Application of Radiation Enhancing Nanoparticles

The two main NP used in clinical trials were hafnium oxide and gadolinium involving a total of 229 patients. Hafnium oxide NP were used in three phase 1/2 trials on sarcoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma or liver cancer and one phase 2/3 trial. There are six ongoing phase 1/2 clinical trials to evaluate the combination of gadolinium-based NP and RT for the treatment of brain metastases and cervical cancer. […]

2020 – Endobronchial ultrasound-guided injection of NBTXR3 radio-enhancing nanoparticles into mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes: a swine model to evaluate feasibility, injection technique, safety, nanoparticle retention and dispersion

Loco-regionally advanced lung cancer is typically treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, but overall survival and local control remain poor. Radio-enhancing nanoparticles such as NBTXR3 activated by radiotherapy results in increased cell death and potentially an anti-tumor immune response. The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided injection of NBTXR3 into mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes (LN), as well as assess nanoparticle retention in the LN post-injection. […]

2020 – Int J Nanomedicine NBTXR3 Induces Abscopal Effect

Despite tremendous results achieved by immune checkpoint inhibitors, most patients are not responders, mainly because of the lack of a pre-existing anti-tumor immune response. Thus, solutions to efficiently prime this immune response are currently under intensive investigations. Radiotherapy elicits cancer cell death, generating an antitumor-specific T cell response, turning tumors in personalized in situ vaccines, with potentially systemic effects (abscopal effect). Nonetheless, clinical evidence of sustained anti-tumor immunity as abscopal effect are rare. […]

2020 – NANORAY-103: Phase I/II trial of NBTXR3 activated by SBRT in patients with HCC and liver metastases

The use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for the local control of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver metastases (mets) is well tolerated but limited by the need to preserve liver function. Increasing energy deposit within the tumor without increasing toxicity in healthy tissues remains a major challenge in radiation oncology. […]

2020 – RT-activated hafnium oxide nanoparticles in cisplatin-ineligible locally advanced HNSCC patients

Elderly and frail patients (pts) with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HSNCC) remain a challenging population to manage due to the lack of evidence-based recommendations. Despite representing approximately 20% of the HNSCC population no consensus exists on the optimal treatment for these pts with locally advanced (LA) disease […]
