2019 – ICHNO – Phase I/II NBTXR3 in HNSCC

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Head & Neck

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

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Head & Neck

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. […]

2018 – ASTRO 2018 – NBTXR3 in elderly HNSCC

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Head & Neck

As the incidence of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) increases with age, elderly patients represent 25% of the affected population with an expected increase in the next 20 years. Being more vulnerable to treatment-induced toxicities, the elderly cannot be treated like younger patients, hence requiring innovative therapies. […]

2018 – ESMO 2018 – NBTXR3 in elderly HNSCC

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Liver

Elderly patients (pts) with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represent 25% of the affected population. They are not always eligible to the same treatment of younger pts, thus require new therapies. NBTXR3, injectable hafnium oxide nanoparticles activated by radiotherapy (RT), was developed to increase the local deposit of energy within the tumor. […]

2018 – ECHNO 2018 – NBTXR3 for elderly and frail HNSCC patients

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Head & Neck

NBTXR3 administered as a single intratumoral injection and activated by radiotherapy, is currently evaluated in a phase I clinical trial for head and neck cancer. At the 2018 Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancers Symposium in Scottsdale Arizona, preliminary results were presented by prof. C. Le Tourneau. […]

2018 – ESTRO – Hafnium Oxide Nanoparticles and Radiotherapy: A Promising New Treatment Strategy

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Head & Neck, Liver, Rectum, STS

With recent advances in radiation delivery techniques, an increasing number of cancer patients undergo radiotherapy. However, due to the non-targeted nature of radiotherapy, doses are limited by potential toxicity to surrounding normal tissue. Thus, a major challenge remains to develop new strategies to improve the tumor selectivity of radiation therapy. […]

2018 – Multidisciplinary H&N – NBTXR3 for Head and Neck Cancer
