Sona Nanotech, Inc. is spearheading a clinical study titled ‘Intra-tumoral Targeted Hyperthermic Therapy (THT) for Stage 3C/3D/4M1 Cutaneous Metastatic Melanoma in Patients with Targetable Cutaneous And/or Sub-cutaneous Tumors.’ The study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of THT in patients with advanced melanoma unresponsive to systemic immunotherapy. The primary goal is to ensure safety, while secondary objectives focus on tumor response.
The intervention being tested is a device-based therapy known as Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy. This involves intra-tumoral injections of gold nanorods (SivaRods), followed by exposure to near-infrared light to induce mild hyperthermia, aiming for temperatures between 42°C and 48°C. The treatment is designed to destroy localized tumors effectively.
The study is structured as an interventional, single-group assignment with no masking, primarily focusing on device feasibility. This straightforward design allows for a direct assessment of the therapy’s impact on tumor safety and response.
Key dates for the study include a start date of March 18, 2025, with the last update submitted on March 25, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and ensuring timely updates for stakeholders.
From a market perspective, this study could significantly impact Sona Nanotech’s stock performance, as positive results may enhance investor confidence and position the company as a leader in innovative melanoma treatments. This development could also influence the competitive landscape, prompting responses from other companies in the oncology sector.
The study is currently not yet recruiting, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
