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 Therapy
for Lung Cancer
This phase I trial investigates the best dose and side effects of NBTXR3 when given together with radiation therapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated by surgery (inoperable) and has come back (recurrent). NBTXR3 is a radio-enhancer designed to increase the radiotherapy energy dose deposition inside tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving NBTXR3 and radiation therapy may increase radiation-dependent tumor cell killing without increasing the radiation exposure of healthy surrounding tissues.
