- Determination of the Recommended Doses and the early Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) [ Time Frame: 18 months ]To determine the Recommended Doses and the early Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) of NBTXR3 administered as two different schedules (intra-arterial or intratumor injection), activated by Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
- Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of NBTXR3 [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Safety and tolerability of NBTXR3, as an intra-arterial or intratumor injection schedule, activated by Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) will be assessed in terms of incidence and severity of clinical and laboratory Adverse Events.
- Evaluation of the Objective Response Rate (ORR) and the complete Response Rate as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and the Tumor Volume estimation [ Time Frame: 24 months ]To evaluate the Objective Response Rate (ORR) and the complete Response Rate by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.1) and the Tumor Volume estimation (Lenght×Width×Depth) of NBTXR3, as an intra-arterial or intratumor injection schedule, activated by Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
- Evaluation of the Local Progression Free Survival (LPFS) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]To evaluate the local Progression Free Survival (lPFS) of NBTXR3, as an intra-arterial or intratumor injection schedule, activated by Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
- Evaluation of the Progression Free Survival (PFS) of NBTXR3 [ Time Frame: 24 months ]To evaluate the Progression Free Survival (PFS) of NBTXR3, as an intra-arterial or intratumor injection schedule, activated by Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
- Characterization of the body kinetics profile of NBTXR3 [ Time Frame: 18 months ]To characterize the body kinetics on Day 1 and 2, of NBTXR3 administered by intratumor or intra-arterial injection before its activation by Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
- Evaluation of the feasibility of local administration either intratumor or intra-arterial route [ Time Frame: 18 months ]The feasibility of local administration, either intratumor or intra-arterial slow injection of NBTXR3, then activated by Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) will be assessed by duration of injection, number of punctures, and in terms of the NBTXR3 nanoparticles intratumor dispersion.
