About this study

Official title: A Phase I-II Dose-escalation Study of NBTXR3 Activated by EBRT or EBRT With Brachytherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Unfavorable Intermediate or High Risk Prostate Adenocarcinoma Treated With Androgen Deprivation

This study is a Phase 1/2 open-label involving 2 groups of patients newly diagnosed with either unfavorable intermediate risk or high risk prostate adenocarcinoma. One group will receive only EBRT and the other group will receive a Brachytherapy boost and EBRT. Both groups will receive treatment with androgen deprivation. There will be 2 consecutive steps, a dose escalation and a subsequent dose expansion part.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1/2 prospective, open-label, two cohorts, non-randomized trial consisting of two consecutive steps, a dose escalation and a subsequent dose expansion part.

PART 1 DOSE ESCALATION: subjects with newly diagnosed Unfavorable Intermediate

Risk (UIR) or High Risk (HR) prostate adenocarcinoma, will participate in a dose escalation of NBTXR3 activated by two different radiation schedules. NBTXR3 will be administered by intra-prostate injection and then activated 10 days later either by:

  • EBRT delivered as 45 Gy in 25 fractions of 1.8 Gy each; to the prostate and seminal vesicles, followed by 34.2 Gy in 19 fractions to the prostate and proximal seminal vesicles, over 9-10 weeks, utilizing intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with daily image guidance aligned to implanted fiducial markers (COHORT A) or,
  • Brachytherapy Boost and EBRT delivered as a single fraction of 15 Gy in one day to the prostate by High Dose Rate Brachytherapy followed by EBRT (initiated within 2-4 weeks after completion of Brachytherapy), delivered as 45 Gy in 25 fractions of 1.8 Gy to the prostate and seminal vesicles utilizing intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with daily image guidance aligned to implanted fiducial markers (COHORT B)

PART 2 DOSE EXPANSION: Two parallel cohorts of subjects, A and B, 20 subjects per cohort, will be treated at either the RD1 (Recommended Dose of NBTXR3 given as intraprostate injection and activated by EBRT) or RD2 (Recommended Dose of NBTXR3 given as intra-prostate injection and activated by Brachytherapy Boost and EBRT), as determined in the Phase I dose escalation of the trial.

All subjects will receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) LHRH / GnRH agonist beginning 8 weeks before the NBTXR3 administration and for 24 months in subjects with (HR) prostate adenocarcinoma. The duration of ADT in subjects with (UIR) disease will be of 6 months.

Subjects will receive a single intra-prostate injection of NBTXR3 which will be delivered to the prostate via transperineal injection under TRUS guidance injection. NBTXR3 injection will be performed on Day 1 and will be assessed for safety, intra-prostate availability and presence of NBTXR3 in the peripheral circulation.

COHORT A: External beam radiation therapy will be delivered to the prostate starting within 9 days after the NBTXR3 injection (Day 10). Total dose of 79.2 Gy, delivered as 25 fractions of 1.8 Gy to the prostate and seminal vesicles (45 Gy), followed by 34.2 Gy in 19 fractions to the prostate and proximal seminal vesicles, delivered over 9-10 weeks, utilizing intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with daily image guidance aligned to implanted fiducial markers COHORT B: HDR Brachytherapy implantation will be performed within 9 days after NBTXR3 injection (Day 10). Brachytherapy Boost delivered as a single fraction of 15 Gy in one day to the prostate by High Dose Rate Brachytherapy followed by EBRT (initiated within 2-4 weeks after completion of Brachytherapy) delivered as 45 Gy in 25 fractions of 1.8 Gy to the prostate and seminal vesicles utilizing intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with daily image guidance aligned to implanted fiducial markers.

Subjects will be followed for safety assessment until the end of the study. Before the onset of study treatment, subjects must have a histologic diagnosis of either Unfavorable Intermediate Risk (UIR) or High Risk (HR) prostate adenocarcinoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing NBTXR3 activated by IMRT only and NBTXR3 activated by Brachytherapy & IMRT in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Nanobiotix at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 31 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Prostate cancer treatment has greatly changed since the initiation of this trial and therefore we have stopped this trial to allow for further evaluation of the treatment landscape). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Tolerated Dose and early Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) of NBTXR3 (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 May 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
