About this study

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.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objectives:

Phase I

To evaluate the feasibility and safety of radiation therapy with NBTXR3 in LA-NSCLC with the following dose escalation:

  • 45 Gy in 15 fx with NBTXR3 at 22% RP2D
  • 52.5 Gy in 15 fx with NBTXR3 at 22% RP2D
  • 60 Gy in 15 fx with NBTXR3 at 22% RP2D
  • 60 Gy in 15 fx with NBTXR3 at 33% RP2D

Phase II

  • To estimate the efficacy of radiation therapy alone with NBTXR3 in inoperable, locoregional NSCLC
  • To evaluate the safety of RP2D

Secondary Objectives:

  • To evaluate the anti-tumor response of radiation with NBTXR3 in patients with inoperable, locoregional NSCLC
  • To evaluate time-to-event outcomes for radiation therapy with NBTXR3 in patients with inoperable, locoregional NSCL

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing NBTXR3 in people with Locally-Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site 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 18 inclusion and 17 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Aileen Chen, MD (713-745-6293, achen6@mdanderson.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Through study completion; an average of 1 year). 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 18 Sep 2026.
