NBTXR3, Chemotherapy, and Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Esophageal Cancer

A Phase 1 Study of NBTXR3 Activated by Radiotherapy With Concurrent Chemotherapy for Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus


Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

24 participants

Start Date

Nov 23, 2020

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this Phase I study is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and safety profile of NBTXR3 activated by radiation therapy with concurrent chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. NBTXR3 is a drug that when activated by radiation therapy, may cause targeted destruction of cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, capecitabine, docetaxel, paclitaxel, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving NBTXR3 activated by radiation therapy with concurrent chemotherapy may help control the disease.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether adding NBTXR3 (tiny radioactive particles injected directly into the tumor) to standard chemoradiation therapy improves outcomes for people with esophageal cancer or cancer at the junction of the stomach and esophagus. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been confirmed by biopsy to have adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction (stages II–III) - You are able to receive chemoradiation therapy - Your doctor determines the NBTXR3 injection can be safely delivered using an endoscopic ultrasound procedure - You have at least one measurable tumor site in the esophagus **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You cannot tolerate chemoradiation for medical reasons - Your tumor anatomy makes the injection technically impossible - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have significant kidney, liver, or blood count problems Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
