Frequently asked questions about NBTXR3

What is NBTXR3?

NBTXR3 is an investigational oncology product developed by Nanobiotix S.A. for use with radiotherapy. It is being studied in adult soft tissue sarcoma and in combination with radiotherapy, including settings where radiotherapy is paired with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. It is not approved and remains in clinical development.

What is NBTXR3 used for in adult soft tissue sarcoma?

NBTXR3 is being studied in adult soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity and trunk wall, where it is combined with radiation therapy. The Phase 2 trial NCT02379845 randomized 180 patients with adult soft tissue sarcoma across two arms in multiple countries. NBTXR3 is investigational and has not been approved for this indication.

Who makes NBTXR3?

NBTXR3 is developed by Nanobiotix S.A., which trades under the ticker NBTX. Nanobiotix is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating NBTXR3 in adult soft tissue sarcoma and in combination with radiotherapy and anti-PD-1 therapy.

What phase is NBTXR3 in?

NBTXR3 is in Phase 2 development. The completed Phase 2 trial NCT02379845 evaluated NBTXR3 with radiation therapy in 180 randomized patients with adult soft tissue sarcoma. NBTXR3 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is NBTXR3 in?

NBTXR3 has been studied in three registered trials. NCT02379845 was a completed Phase 2 randomized trial in adult soft tissue sarcoma with 180 patients. NCT01433068 was a completed Phase 1 trial in 22 patients in France. NCT03589339 is an active Phase 1 trial combining NBTXR3 with radiotherapy and anti-PD-1 therapy in advanced cancers.

Is NBTXR3 approved by the FDA?

NBTXR3 is not approved by the FDA. It is an investigational product still in clinical development, currently in Phase 2. The completed Phase 2 trial NCT02379845 studied NBTXR3 with radiation therapy in randomized patients with adult soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity and trunk wall.
