View original scientific description

This is a single institution, single arm phase I/II study of NBTXR3 with radiation therapy for stage I-III advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients who are not candidates for chemotherapy or surgical resection.

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Signed informed consent form (ICF) indicating that participant understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • ECOG Performance Status 0-2
  • Biopsy proven stage I-III NSCLC.
  • Participant deemed medically inoperable by the investigator or treating physician, or patient declines surgery.
  • No prior or concurrent systemic therapies within 4 weeks of injection. Patient may receive up to 1 line of prior systemic therapy prior to starting RT.
  • Amenable to undergo bronchoscopic (EBUS, CBCT) or CT-guided injection of NBTXR3 as per investigator or treating physician. a. Up to 4 lung lesions may be injected with NBTXR3, including the primary tumor and involved lymph node(s) All injected lesions must be radiated.
  • The target lesion(s) should be measurable on cross sectional imaging (RECIST 1.1), Nodal target lesions must be ≥15mm (short axis) based on CT (slice thickness of 5mm or less) or MRI.
  • Adequate screening laboratory values
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3
  • Platelet Count ≥ 100,000/mm3
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Calc. Creatinine Clearance ≥ 30 mL/min
  • Total Bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL
  • AST / ALT ≤ 3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or 5.0 x ULN if known liver metastases
  • Serum albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL Negative urine or serum pregnancy test ≤ 7 days of NBTXR3 injection in all females of child-bearing potential.

Exclusion criteria

  • Unable to undergo NBTXR3 injection via bronchoscopic or CT-guided approach
  • Unable to undergo radiation therapy for any reason
  • 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.
  • Any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant (e.g., compromise the well-being) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments.
  • At screening, past medical history of:
  • Interstitial lung disease
  • Drug related pneumonitis
  • Radiation therapy to lung or other intrathoracic organs (e.g. prior breast radiation okay)
  • Has received any approved or investigational anti-neoplastic or immunotherapy agent within 4 weeks prior to NBTXR3 injection
  • Receipt of more than 1 line of systemic therapy prior to RT
  • Use of concurrent systemic therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy) or patient participation on another therapeutic clinical trial.
  • Known contraindication to iodine-based or gadolinium-based IV contrast.
  • Active malignancy, in addition to locoregional 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 definitely 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, recent severe pulmonary 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

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
