About
This study is a Phase 1/2 open-label involving 2 groups of patients newly diagnosed with either unfavorable intermediate risk or high risk prostate adenocarcinoma. One group will receive only EBRT and the other group will receive a Brachytherapy boost and EBRT. Both groups will receive treatment with androgen deprivation. There will be 2 consecutive steps, a dose escalation and a subsequent dose expansion part.
Full description
This is a Phase 1/2 prospective, open-label, two cohorts, non-randomized trial consisting of two consecutive steps, a dose escalation and a subsequent dose expansion part.
PART 1 DOSE ESCALATION: subjects with newly diagnosed Unfavorable Intermediate
Risk (UIR) or High Risk (HR) prostate adenocarcinoma, will participate in a dose escalation of NBTXR3 activated by two different radiation schedules. NBTXR3 will be administered by intra-prostate injection and then activated 10 days later either by:
PART 2 DOSE EXPANSION: Two parallel cohorts of subjects, A and B, 20 subjects per cohort, will be treated at either the RD1 (Recommended Dose of NBTXR3 given as intraprostate injection and activated by EBRT) or RD2 (Recommended Dose of NBTXR3 given as intra-prostate injection and activated by Brachytherapy Boost and EBRT), as determined in the Phase I dose escalation of the trial.
All subjects will receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) LHRH / GnRH agonist beginning 8 weeks before the NBTXR3 administration and for 24 months in subjects with (HR) prostate adenocarcinoma. The duration of ADT in subjects with (UIR) disease will be of 6 months.
Subjects will receive a single intra-prostate injection of NBTXR3 which will be delivered to the prostate via transperineal injection under TRUS guidance injection. NBTXR3 injection will be performed on Day 1 and will be assessed for safety, intra-prostate availability and presence of NBTXR3 in the peripheral circulation.
COHORT A: External beam radiation therapy will be delivered to the prostate starting within 9 days after the NBTXR3 injection (Day 10). Total dose of 79.2 Gy, delivered as 25 fractions of 1.8 Gy to the prostate and seminal vesicles (45 Gy), followed by 34.2 Gy in 19 fractions to the prostate and proximal seminal vesicles, delivered over 9-10 weeks, utilizing intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with daily image guidance aligned to implanted fiducial markers COHORT B: HDR Brachytherapy implantation will be performed within 9 days after NBTXR3 injection (Day 10). Brachytherapy Boost delivered as a single fraction of 15 Gy in one day to the prostate by High Dose Rate Brachytherapy followed by EBRT (initiated within 2-4 weeks after completion of Brachytherapy) delivered as 45 Gy in 25 fractions of 1.8 Gy to the prostate and seminal vesicles utilizing intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with daily image guidance aligned to implanted fiducial markers.
Subjects will be followed for safety assessment until the end of the study. Before the onset of study treatment, subjects must have a histologic diagnosis of either Unfavorable Intermediate Risk (UIR) or High Risk (HR) prostate adenocarcinoma.

Inclusion criteria
Age ≥ 18
Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland by needle core samples with assigned Gleason score
Subjects ADT naive or subjects who are already on ADT treatment and scheduled to receive radiation therapy for their adenocarcinoma of prostate are eligible. An 8-week course of ADT is required to be completed prior to NBTXR3 administration and initiation of radiation therapy.
Pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes must be negative on CT-scan or MRI of the abdomen and pelvis performed within 12 weeks prior to enrollment into the study
Prostate adenocarcinoma with High Risk (HR) and Unfavorable Intermediate Risk (UIR) for recurrence classification as determined by one of the following combinations:
High risk (HR): subjects with one or more of the following risk factors:
Unfavorable Intermediate Risk (UIR): subjects with no HR features but with one or more of the following adverse risk factors:
Gleason score (GS) 7 and/or PSA 10-20 and/or T2b/c
No evidence of bone metastases (M0) on bone scan within 120 days prior to registration (PET/CT is an acceptable substitute). Equivocal bone scan findings are allowed if bone CT or MRI of hot spots are negative for metastasis
Baseline serum PSA value performed with an FDA-approved assay within 120 days prior to registration. Study entry PSA should not be obtained within 10-day period following prostate biopsy or following initiation of hormonal therapy
ECOG performance status must be 0 or 1
Adequate function of bone marrow:
Adequate function of kidney:
Adequate function of liver:
Non-Childbearing Potential: Male subjects and their partners must meet one of the following criteria to be considered of non-childbearing potential:

Subjects with congenital long QT syndrome or subjects taking Class IA, Class III or Class IC anti-arrhythmic medications will require a cardiologist's evaluation prior to eligibility assessment. subjects with cardiovascular diseases can be included as long as the benefits of androgen deprivation therapy outweigh the potential risk of cardiovascular events
Uncontrolled lung disease
Subjects with any evidence of distant metastases
subjects with any contraindication to pelvic radiotherapy including, but not limited to, previous pelvic radiotherapy or brachytherapy

Hormonal therapy (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone [LHRH] agonist or oral anti-androgen) exceeding 4 months prior to registration
Declared high-risk for anesthesia by attending anesthesiologist, cardiologist, or other physician
Complete initial work up earlier than 12 weeks prior to subject registration
Subjects unable to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures
Subjects participating in another clinical investigation at the time of signature of the informed consent.
