NBTXR3 and Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Inoperable Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT04505267)
Phase I Study of Reirradiation With NBTXR3 for Inoperable Locoregional Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase I trial investigates the best dose and side effects of NBTXR3 when given together with radiation therapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated by surgery (inoperable) and has come back (recurrent). NBTXR3 is a radio-enhancer designed to increase the radiotherapy energy dose deposition inside tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving NBTXR3 and radiation therapy may increase radiation-dependent tumor cell killing without increasing the radiation exposure of healthy surrounding tissues.

📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- At screening, past medical history of:
- Interstitial lung disease, excluding drug-induced ILD, speficially immunotherapy-induced pneumonitis that has been resolved
- Any Grade 4 thoracic radiation related toxicity
- Unresolved radiation related i. Esophagitis ii. Pneumonitis iii. Bronchopulmonary hemorrhage d. Any Grade i. Esophageal perforation ii. Radiation associated airway necrosis iii. Bronchoesophageal fistula e. Any Grade i. Esophageal perforation ii. Radiation associated airway necrosis iii. Bronchoesophageal fistula iv. Tracheoesophageal fistula v. Spinal cord myelopathy
- Has received any approved or investigational anti-neoplastic or immunotherapy agent within 2 weeks prior to NBTXR3 injection
- Use of concurrent systemic therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy) or patient participation on another therapeutic clinical trial.
- Active malignancy, in addition to locoregionally recurrent NSCLC, with the exception of definitively treated and relapse free within 1 year from diagnosis of non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical cancer in situ; definitively treated non-metastatic prostate cancer; or patients with another primary malignancy who are definitively treated and relapse free with at least 2 years elapsed since the diagnosis of the other primary malignancy.
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, renal failure, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness that would limit compliance with treatment.
- Known active, uncontrolled (high viral load) HIV or hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
- Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Women of child-bearing potential and their male partners who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method of birth control to avoid pregnancy for the entire study period. Acceptable methods of contraception are those that, alone or in combination, result in a failure rate of \< 1% per year when used consistently and correctly.
