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

Abstracts, Donnée clinique de NBTXR3, NO-RIGHTS, Tête & Cou

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 […]

2019 – Phase I study of hafnium oxide nanoparticles activated by Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) as a new therapeutic option for elderly or frail HNSCC patients

Abstracts, Donnée clinique de NBTXR3, NO-RIGHTS, Tête & Cou

New therapeutic approaches are needed for elderly or frail head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients (pts) ineligible for standard of care. NBTXR3, hafnium oxide nanoparticles injected intratumorally, may represent an option. Otherwise inert, NBTXR3 augments the radiation therapy (RT) dose within tumor cells when activated by RT, increasing tumor cell death compared to RT alone. […]

2019 – ESMO IO – NBTXR3 with anti-PD-1

Abstracts, Donnée clinique de NBTXR3, Foie, Poumon, Tête & Cou

The majority of cancer patients are resistant to immune therapy; only around 15% respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Thus, strategies able to increase ICI response are of great interest. Recent work suggests radiotherapy (RT) can act as an immunomodulator to increase the proportion of ICI responders and improve clinical outcomes. However, RT dose and ultimate efficacy are limited by toxicity related to exposure of healthy tissues. […]

2019 – RSNA – Treatment of locally advanced HNSCC by NBTXR3

Abstracts, Donnée clinique de NBTXR3, Tête & Cou

Elderly head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HSNCC) patients (pts) ineligible for standard of care treatment require new therapeutic approaches. NBTXR3, hafnium oxide nanoparticles, may represent such an option. NBTXR3 is activated by radiotherapy, enhancing its effects, leading to physical destruction of cancer cells. A Phase I/II trial [NCT01946867] is underway to evaluate NBTXR3 in elderly (≥70 years) or frail pts with HNSCC of the oral cavity and oropharynx ineligible for cisplatin or intolerant to cetuximab.

2019 – ASTRO – NBTXR3 for the treatment of solid tumors

Abstracts, Donnée clinique de NBTXR3, Foie, Rectum, STM, Tête & Cou

Local interventional treatments of cancers include interventional radiology and radiotherapy (RT). NBTXR3, hafnium oxide nanoparticles, is deeply associated to both. Given as a single local administration it increases energy dose deposit inside tumor cells only when activated by ionizing radiation. Various interventional treatments have been used to treat cancers such as liver, lung, bone. Because entirely new therapies such as NBTXR3 are being introduced, implementation of interventional approaches is continuously growing. […]

2019 – ASCO – Phase I NBTXR3 in elderly/frail HNSCC patients

Abstracts, Donnée clinique de NBTXR3, Tête & Cou

New therapeutic approaches are needed for elderly or frail head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients (pts) ineligible for standard of care treatment. NBTXR3, a crystalline solution of hafnium oxide nanoparticles may represent such an option. Injected intratumorally, NBTXR3 enters tumor cells and yields an increased cell-localized energy deposit upon exposure to radiotherapy (RT), leading to increased tumor cell death compared to the same dose of RT alone. […]

2019 – ICHNO – Phase I/II NBTXR3 in HNSCC

Abstracts, Donnée clinique de NBTXR3, Tête & Cou

Hafnium oxide nanoparticles, NBTXR3, were developed to augment tumor-localized high energy deposit once activated by ionizing radiation such as Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and thus to increase tumor cell death compared to the same dose of radiation. NBTXR3 is characterized by a single intratumoral (IT) administration and fits into standard radiotherapy schedule with no change in patient’s care pathway, treatment protocol or equipment. […]

2018 – SIOG – NBTXR3 In Elderly With HNSCC

Abstracts, Donnée clinique de NBTXR3, Tête & Cou

Compared to younger individuals, elderly patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have limited therapeutic options. Despite representing approximately 47% of the affected population with an increasing incidence, older patients are underrepresented from HNSCC prospective clinical trials further limiting their therapeutic options.
