2021 – Long-term results from the phase II/III Act.In.Sarc trial evaluating NBTXR3 in locally advanced STS

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

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. […]

2021 – NBTXR3 activated by radiotherapy in cisplatin-ineligible locally advanced HNSCC patients

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

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 […]

2021 – Long-term evaluation of the novel radioenhancer NBTXR3 plus radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma treated in the phase II/III Act.In.Sarc trial

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

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. […]

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

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

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

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). […]

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

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

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 Cancer – NBTXR3 Phase I in HNSCC

Clinical Data NBTXR3, Head & Neck, NO-RIGHTS, Publications

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 – Int J Nanomedicine NBTXR3 Induces Abscopal Effect

In Vitro in Vivo NBTXR3, In Vivo, NO-RIGHTS, Publications

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 – 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 – NBTXR3 nanoparticle with immunoradiation improves survival and generates long-term anti-tumor memory in an anti-PD1 resistant murine lung cancer model

Congress Abstracts, In Vitro in Vivo NBTXR3, In Vivo

Although treatment with high-dose (HD) radiation (XRT) and NBTXR3 on primary tumors in combination with systemic anti-PD1 was able to significantly improve abscopal effect in 344SQR murine metastatic lung cancer model, most of the mice eventually died due to the growth of secondary tumors. […]
