When exposed to radiotherapy (RT), NBTXR3 nanoparticles increase radiation dose deposition from within the cancer cells. NBTXR3 is intended for a single intratumor injection. Results from a phase II/III clinical trial in patients with locally advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma demonstrated significant superiority and clinical benefits of NBTXR3 activated by RT compared to RT alone […]
129Sv/Ev mice were inoculated with 50,000 aPD1-resistant 344SQR cells in the right leg on day 0 (primary tumor) and with 50,000 cells in the left leg on day 4 (secondary tumor). Primary tumors were injected with NBTXR3 radioenhancer nanoparticles on day 7 and irradiated with 12 Gy on days 8, 9, and 10. Anti-PD1, aLAG3, and aTIGIT were given to mice by intraperitoneal injections on days 5, 8, 11, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42. […]
Non-surgical standard of care (SOC) for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA HNSCC) patients is chemoradiation with cisplatin/cetuximab. Elderly patients, and those with poor performance status, comorbidities, and/or intolerance, may not benefit from current SOC, representing a high unmet need. NBTXR3, a novel radioenhancer composed of functionalized hafnium oxide nanoparticles. […]
NBTXR3, a novel radioenhancer activated by radiotherapy (RT) demonstrated superior efficacy, as preoperative treatment in patients with locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma (LA STS) compared to RT alone. […]
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) can improve outcomes in patients who respond to treatment, however most patients exhibit resistance. Overcoming this resistance is the main challenge in immune-oncology and recent studies suggest radiotherapy (RT) may improve ICI response rates. NBTXR3, composed of functionalized hafnium oxide nanoparticles, is injected intratumorally and activated by RT. […]
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. […]
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. […]

Concurrent radiotherapy (RT) with high-dose cisplatin, or cetuximab in case of intolerance to cisplatin, are the non-surgical standard treatment for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA HNSCC). However, elderly patients, patients with poor performance status, comorbidities, and/or intolerance may not benefit from these treatments […]
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. […]
