A Phase 1/2 interventional study of BNCT and ［18F］FBPA in Thoracic Solid Malignant Tumor, sponsored by Stella Pharma Corporation. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in Japan. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-11-19.
Sponsored by Stella Pharma Corporation · Phase 1/2, Interventional, and Treatment
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) in patients with recurrent thoracic solid tumors that are difficult to treat with standard radiation therapy or drug therapy and are unresectable. With "lung," "heart," "liver," "spinal cord," and "esophagus" as common risk organs in the treatment plan for BNCT using therapeutic CT to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BNCT in patients with unresectable and recurrent thoracic solid tumors which are difficult to treat with standard radiation and drug therapy.
To evaluate the safety of ［18F］FBPA synthesized with MPS200FBPA. In addition, the usefulness of ［18F］FBPA-PET testing to determine the appropriateness of performing BNCT will be evaluated in an exploratory manner.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.
The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.
The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.
“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Radiation: BNCT · Diagnostic Test: ［18F］FBPA
Patients will be infused SPM-011 intravenously at a dose of 200mg/kg/hr over 2 hours. Thereafter, patient will be infused SPM-011 intravenously at a dose of 100mg/kg/hr and will receive neutron irradiation simultaneously for a certain period of time based on his Boronophenylalanine (BPA) concentration in the blood.
Intravenous injection of ［18F］FBPA and radiation exposure from PET-CT scan.
