NBTXR3 improves the efficacy of immunoradiotherapy combining nonfucosylated anti-CTLA4 in an anti-PD1 resistant lung cancer model.

The efficacy of immunoradiotherapy consisting of radiation therapy and immune checkpoint blockade relies on effectively promoting the systemic antitumor immune response's activation while simultaneously reducing local factors favoring immune suppression. We previously demonstrated that NBTXR3, a nanoparticle radioenhancer, significantly improved immune responses in a murine anti-PD1-resistant metastatic lung cancer model. We hypothesize that radioactivated-NBTXR3 addition to anti-PD1 and a second-generation anti-CTLA4 could improve treatment effectiveness.
