PARIS & CAMBRIDGE, Mass., September 21, 2022–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News:
NANOBIOTIX (Euronext: NANO –– NASDAQ: NBTX – the ”company”), a late clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering physics-based approaches to expand treatment options for cancer patients, today announced the determination of the Phase 2 Recommended Dose (RP2D) of NBTXR3 in combination with pembrolizumab or nivolumab for the treatment of Patients known to have unresectable locoregionally recurrent (LRR) or recurrent and metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) resistant to prior immunotherapy. RP2Ds were determined for NBTXR3 plus pembrolizumab or nivolumab for patients with LRR or R/M HNSCC who have not received prior immunotherapy, pulmonary metastases (Mets) from a primary tumor, or liver Mets from a primary tumor.
The combined dose escalation and dose expansion portions of Study 1100 are expected to enroll up to 141 patients. The full dose escalation part included 29 patients in three cohorts: (i) head and neck lesions of LRR or R/M HNSCC eligible for anti-PD-1 therapy; (ii) lung metastases from any primary cancer amenable to anti-PD-1 therapy; and (iii) liver Mets from any primary cancer amenable to anti-PD-1 therapy. Study participants received a single intratumoral injection of NBTXR3 prior to their first radiation session. They then received radiation therapy followed by anti-PD-1. Based on the results of the study, the RP2D was set at 33% of the gross tumor volume for all three cohorts.
Nanobiotix aims to offer a best-in-class head and neck cancer treatment franchise based on NBTXR3 and expand this approach to other solid tumor indications. In line with this strategy, the Company has modified the ongoing expansion phase of Study 1100 to further strengthen the rationale for an enrollment protocol to evaluate NBTXR3 plus anti-PD-1 in patients with R/M HNSCC resistant to prior immunotherapy.
The modified dose-expansion portion of Study 1100 also includes three cohorts, but the cohorts were redesigned to further investigate NBTXR3 plus anti-PD-1 in multiple immunotherapy-candidate indications, with a particular focus on treating patients with LRR or R/M HNSCC primary lesions that are either naïve or resistant to prior immunotherapy. The extension part cohorts are as follows: (i) LRR or R/M HNSCC resistant to prior immunotherapy; (ii) LRR or R/M HNSCC that has not received prior immunotherapy; (iii) Lung, liver or soft tissue from inoperable NSCLC, malignant melanoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), urothelial cancer, cervical cancer or triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) primary tumors.
The Company expects to provide updated clinical data from Study 1100 in Q4 2022. Submission of the Phase 3 registration protocol is expected in Q1 2023, followed by a study design change.
About NBTXR3
NBTXR3 is a novel, potentially first-in-class oncology product composed of functionalized hafnium oxide nanoparticles delivered via a single intratumoral injection and activated by radiation therapy. The physical mechanism of action (MoA) of the product candidate is designed such that, when activated by radiation therapy, it induces significant tumor cell death in the injected tumor and subsequently induces an adaptive immune response and long-term anti-cancer memory. Given the physical MoA, Nanobiotix believes NBTXR3 could be scalable across solid tumors that can be treated with radiotherapy and across different therapeutic combinations.
