Disrupting the Limits of Radiation Therapy with Nano

Locally advanced head and neck cancer patients that are ineligible for cisplatin face a variety of unmet needs, and disruptive innovation in radiation therapy could provide enormous benefits for this population.

Learn how Nanobiotix is pioneering the field with its first-in-class radioenhancer NBTXR3, how current clinical results are showing promise for this new treatment, and how a new phase III registration trial seeks to bring these benefits to patients in the U.S. and EU.

During the session, leading medical experts will discuss the company and its first-in-class radioenhancer NBTXR3 — an aqueous suspensions of crystalline hafnium oxide that, after intramural injection prior to a patient’s first radiation therapy session, increases the energy deposit from ionizing radiation within the cell without increasing the dose in surrounding healthy tissues.

Pr. Christophe Le Tourneau of the Curie Institute, who has extensive experience with NBTXR3 as the principal investigator of Study 102 (phase I evaluating NBTXR3 activated by radiation therapy in elderly patients ineligible for cisplatin), will describe promising data from the study along with plans to leverage real world evidence to demonstrate the efficacy of the product.

Dr. Sue Yom of UCSF will continue by discussing FLOW-312, the upcoming phase III registration trial in the US and EU evaluating NBTXR3 activated by radiation therapy in elderly patients with locally advanced disease that are ineligible for cisplatin. Dr. Yom will discuss rationale and trial design for the study.

The session with conclude with a round table discussion of the potential of NBTXR3 to significantly improve outcomes for patients with Head and Neck cancer around the world.

Hors d’oeuvres, coffee and soft drinks will be provided.

Come discover a systemic treatment option for patients with advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CSCC)

View the speaker bio.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and continues to increase in incidence. Advanced CSCC can be particularly aggressive and has historically had limited treatment options. Come learn about the mechanism of action, clinical efficacy and safety data, patient eligibility, and dosage and administration of an FDA approved treatment option for appropriate patients suffering from advanced CSCC.
