- Drug:
- NBTXR3
- Announced Date:
- May 5, 2025
- Indication:
- For the treatment of patients with stage 3, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC").
Announcement
NANOBIOTIX announced the presentation of full results from the completed dose escalation and dose expansion phases of a Phase 1 study evaluating JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) in patients with locally advanced or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer.
AI Summary
NANOBIOTIX presented full Phase 1 study results of JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) in patients with locally advanced or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. The study, conducted by MD Anderson, showed that the treatment has a favorable safety profile and that the injection method is feasible. Among the 22 patients treated, the median overall survival was 23 months from diagnosis. Moreover, the median local progression-free survival reached 13.3 months shortly after completing radiation treatment.
Exploratory biomarker analyses revealed that increased circulating tumor mutational burden was associated with better local control and overall survival, while CA19-9 normalization—observed in 59% of patients—also correlated with longer survival. Based on these encouraging results, investigators believe that further evaluation in a randomized study is warranted, including an ongoing cohort that combines standard-of-care chemotherapy with radiotherapy-activated JNJ-1900.

Announcement
NANOBIOTIX announced the presentation of full results from the completed dose escalation and dose expansion parts of a Phase 1 study evaluating JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) in patients with locally advanced or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer.
AI Summary
NANOBIOTIX announced it will present the full results from a Phase 1 study that evaluated JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) in patients with locally advanced or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. The study, conducted by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, involved both a dose escalation part and a dose expansion part, following induction chemotherapy. The innovative treatment uses functionalized hafnium oxide nanoparticles activated by radiotherapy to induce tumor cell death and trigger an immune response.
Dr. Eugene Koay, the principal investigator, will present the study results at the ESTRO 2025 Annual Meeting on May 4th at 11:00 AM EDT / 5:00 PM CEST. Additionally, NANOBIOTIX will host a conference call on May 5th to review and discuss the findings, marking an important milestone that could shape future treatment possibilities for pancreatic cancer.

Announcement
NANOBIOTIX announced the first data from the completed dose escalation part of a Phase 1 study sponsored by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center ("MD Anderson") evaluating radiotherapy-activated NBTXR3 (JNJ-1900)1 as a second or later line (2L+) therapy for patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC") amenable to re-irradiation.
AI Summary
NANOBIOTIX announced the first results from the completed dose escalation phase of a Phase 1 study sponsored by MD Anderson Cancer Center. The study evaluated the radiotherapy-activated NBTXR3 (JNJ-1900) as a second or later line treatment for patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are candidates for re-irradiation. In a group of 12 patients, the treatment showed a favorable safety profile with no dose-limiting toxicities and confirmed that intratumoral injections are feasible. Early survival data were promising, with a 12-month local progression-free survival rate of 64% (median of 18.6 months) and a 12-month overall survival rate of 83% (median of 30.2 months). Based on these encouraging findings, the recommended phase 2 dose was set at 33% of the gross tumor volume, and the study's expansion phase is now underway.

Announcement
NANOBIOTIX announced poster presentations from two Phase 1 studies evaluating JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) for patients with lung cancer (NSCLC) to be presented at the 2025 European Lung Cancer Conference ("ELCC").
AI Summary
NANOBIOTIX announced they will present new Phase 1 study results on JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) at the 2025 European Lung Cancer Conference (ELCC). The data will focus on innovative treatment approaches for lung cancer patients, particularly those with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
One poster will show findings from a study where patients with inoperable, locoregional recurrent NSCLC received a one-time injection of NBTXR3 before re-irradiation. The second poster covers results from a study combining NBTXR3 with immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as nivolumab or pembrolizumab, in patients with lung metastases from NSCLC and other solid tumors. Both presentations provide early insights into the safety, feasibility, and potential treatment benefits, with sessions scheduled for March 28, 2025.

Announcement
NANOBIOTIX announced that the first patient has been dosed in the CONVERGE study, a Phase 2 randomized controlled clinical trial evaluating potential first-in-class radioenhancer JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) for the treatment of patients with Stage 3 unresectable non-small cell lung cancer receiving standard of care chemoradiation followed by consolidation durvalumab (NCT06667908).
AI Summary
NANOBIOTIX announced that the first patient has been dosed in the CONVERGE study, a Phase 2 randomized controlled trial. This trial is testing the potential first-in-class radioenhancer JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) for patients with Stage 3 unresectable non-small cell lung cancer. In this study, patients receive standard chemoradiation and then consolidation durvalumab, with the goal of enhancing the effects of radiotherapy. The treatment involves a one-time intratumoral injection of NBTXR3, which is activated during radiotherapy to increase tumor cell death and possibly stimulate a longer-term immune response.
The CONVERGE study is sponsored by Janssen Pharmaceutica NV, a Johnson & Johnson Company, under a global license agreement. This early dosing marks an important step in evaluating the radioenhancer’s ability to meet the significant unmet needs for better treatments in this challenging cancer population.

Announcement
NANOBIOTIX announced the completion of the dose escalation and dose expansion parts of a Phase 1 study evaluating radiotherapy("RT")-activated NBTXR3 (JNJ-1900) for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer ("LAPC") or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer ("BRPC").
AI Summary
NANOBIOTIX has completed the dose escalation and dose expansion stages of a Phase 1 study evaluating its radiotherapy-activated NBTXR3 (JNJ-1900) for patients with locally advanced or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. In the trial at MD Anderson Cancer Center, 22 patients treated after initial chemotherapy showed a promising median overall survival of 23 months from diagnosis. This outcome compares favorably with historical results, suggesting that adding NBTXR3 to the treatment plan may enhance patient survival.
Following these encouraging results, the US FDA approved a protocol amendment to begin a new cohort study. This additional study will evaluate the combination of NBTXR3 with standard-of-care concurrent chemoradiation. Researchers plan to present the full data from the completed cohorts at a medical congress in the first half of 2025, highlighting the potential for improved treatment outcomes.
