2021 – NBTXR3 Activated by Radiotherapy in Combination With Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab in Patients With Advanced Cancers: A Phase I Trial

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Head & Neck, Liver, Lung

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have led to improved treatment outcomes in a variety of cancers; however, the majority of patients exhibit resistance to ICIs. Overcoming this resistance is a major challenge in immune-oncology. Radiation therapy (RT) has emerged as a promising combination with ICIs since it may act synergistically with ICIs by producing an immunomodulatory effect. […]

2021 – NBTXR3 Activated by Radiotherapy in Combination With Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab in Patients With Advanced Cancers: A Phase I Trial

2021 – NBTXR3 activated by SBRT combined with nivolumab or pembrolizumab in patients with advanced cancers: phase I trial

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Head & Neck, Liver, Lung

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved treatment outcomes in a variety of cancers; however the majority of patients (pts) exhibit resistance. Emerging evidence suggests radiation therapy (RT) can enhance response to ICIs by producing an immunomodulatory effect. NBTXR3, composed of functionalized hafnium oxide nanoparticles, is injected intratumorally and activated by RT. […]

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

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Liver, NO-RIGHTS

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). […]

2020 – Phase I study of intratumoral NBTXR3 in combination with anti-PD-1 in patients with advanced cancers

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Head & Neck, Liver, Lung

Cancer immunotherapies have shown promising clinical outcomes; however, the majority of patients are non-responders or will develop resistance during the course of treatment. One of the current challenges is to increase the response rate to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). […]

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

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Liver, NO-RIGHTS

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 – NBTXR3 Radiation Enhancing Hafnium Oxide Nanoparticles Activated By Radiotherapy In Combination With Anti-PD-1 Therapy: A Phase I Study

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Head & Neck, Liver, Lung

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are being increasingly used to improve patient outcomes across different cancer types. However, the response rate to ICIs remains low (∼15%), indicating the need for novel strategies to improve treatment outcome. Emerging evidence suggests that radiation therapy (RT) could potentially enhance the antitumor response and provide synergy with ICIs. […]

2020 – Phase I/II Study Of Radiation Enhancing Hafnium Oxide Nanoparticles NBTXR3 Activated by SBRT in HCC and Liver Metastases Patients

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Liver

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a well-tolerated and valuable alternative for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver metastases (mets) who are not eligible for standard treatment such as surgery, local ablation or chemoembolization. […]

2020 – NBTXR3 radiation enhancing hafnium oxide nanoparticles: RP2D for the treatment of HCC and liver metastases

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Liver

NBTXR3, functionalized hafnium oxide nanoparticles, administered by intratumoral injection (ITI) and activated by radiotherapy (RT), such as stereotactic body RT (SBRT), increases energy deposit inside tumor cells and subsequently tumor cell death compared to RT alone, while sparing healthy tissues. This innovative approach, which does not engage liver and renal functions, might benefit patients (pts) with unresectable liver cancers. […]

2020 – Phase I study of NBTXR3 activated by radiotherapy in patients with advanced cancers treated with an anti-PD-1 therapy

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Congress Abstracts, Head & Neck, Liver, Lung, NO-RIGHTS

Despite the past decade of transformative advances in immuno-oncology, the response rate to checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remains low (~15%). There is significant interest in developing strategies to overcome resistance to these treatments, thus increasing response rate. Emerging evidence suggests that radiation therapy (RT) could potentially augment the antitumor response to ICIs through synergic effect. […]
