RATIONALE: Radiation therapy given before surgery of soft tissue sarcoma decreases the size of the tumor mass and the presence of malignant cells in its peripheral region. NBTXR3 and radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells and increase the tumor shrinkage rendering surgery more feasible or easier and achieve better local control of the tumor.
PURPOSE: This Phase I trial aims at evaluating the feasibility of the NBTXR3 injection in the tumor, safety and the adequate dose of NBTXR3 when given with radiation therapy.

One intratumor implantation by injection |
- Evaluation of the feasibility of the intratumor injection of NBTXR3 [ Time Frame: 6 months ]- To evaluate the feasibility of NBTXR3 given as intratumor implantation (by injection) and activated by external beam radiation in patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity and trunk wall
- Assessment of the safety profile and determination of early dose limiting toxicity [ Time Frame: 20 months ]- To assess the safety profile and determine the early dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of NBTXR3 intratumor implantation (by injection) and activated by external beam radiation
- Evaluation of the anti-tumor activity of NBTXR3 in terms of pathological Response (pR) [ Time Frame: 20 months ]- To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of NBTXR3 implanted within the tumor (by injection) at Day 1 and activated 24 hours later by external beam radiation therapy in terms of pathological Response (pR)
- Evaluation of the Response Rate (RR) of NBTXR3 as per RECIST [ Time Frame: 20 months ]- To evaluate the Response Rate (RR) of NBTXR3 implanted within the tumor (by injection) at Day 1 and activated 24 hours later by external beam radiation therapy as per RECIST
- Characterization of the body kinetic profile of NBTXR3 [ Time Frame: 20 months ]- To characterize the body kinetic profile of NBTXR3 implanted within the tumor (by injection) at Day 1 and Day 2 before its activation by radiation therapy
