Clinical Trials Saumil Gandhi, MD is currently running
Proton Therapy vs Photon Radiation
for Esophageal Cancer
This trial studies how well proton beam radiation therapy compared with intensity modulated photon radiotherapy works in treating patients with stage I-IVA esophageal cancer. Proton beam radiation therapy uses a beam of protons (rather than x-rays) to send radiation inside the body to the tumor without damaging much of the healthy tissue around it. Intensity modulated photon radiotherapy uses high-energy x-rays to deliver radiation directly to the tumor without damaging much of the healthy tissue around it. It is not yet known whether proton beam therapy or intensity modulated photon radiotherapy will work better in treating patients with esophageal cancer.

NBTXR3 + Radiation and Immunotherapy
for Metastatic Lung Cancer
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and possible benefits of NBTXR3, radiation therapy, Anti PD-1 / PD-L1 in treating patients with solid tumor that has spread to the lung (lung metastases) and/or liver (liver metastases). NBTXR3 may help make tumor cells more sensitive to the radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with Anti PD-1 / PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving NBTXR3, radiation therapy, Anti PD-1 / PD-L1 may help to control the disease.
