Phase I study of NBTXR3 nanoparticles, in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS).

10563 Background: Functionalized hafnium oxide nanoparticles (NBTXR3) have been developed as selective radioenhancers, which may represent a breakthrough approach for the local treatment of solid tumors. This is a unique approach where crystalline nanomaterials with high electron density when exposed to radiotherapy, can allow penetrate into the cell and make feasible the absorption/deposition of a high energy dose within the tumor cell. A phase I/II trial was implemented in patients with locally advanced STS. Methods: Patients (pts)received a single intratumor (IT) injection of NBTXR3, volume escalated, followed by 50Gy RTx (see Table). Primary endpoints include feasibility of the IT implantation and safety. Secondary endpoints focus on efficacy such as pathological and RECIST response, IT residency of NBTXR3 over all the RTx period and operability. Results: Enrollment was completed for volume 1, 2, and 3 (15 pts). Feasibility of the IT injection was confirmed. The treatment was safe with no SAE, no earl...
