Purpose: This study reports the first-in-human use of a linear accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) system and the first treatment of patients with scalp-angiosarcoma with accelerator-based BNCT. Patients and methods: A single-center open-label phase I clinical trial has been conducted using the system since November 2019. Patients with a localized node-negative scalp-angiosarcoma along with the largest diameter of the tumor ≤ 15 cm who refused primary surgery and chemotherapy were enrolled. After administration of boronophenylalanine (BPA), a single treatment of BNCT with the maximum dose delivered to the skin being 12 Gy-Eq was performed. The safety and effectiveness of accelerator-based BNCT therapy for localized scalp angiosarcoma were evaluated. Results: Scalp-angiosarcoma of the two patients did not develop the dose-limiting toxicity in the clinical trial. They reached CR within half a year and did not exhibit in-field failure 20 months after BNCT without any severe treatment-related adverse events. Although a grade 3 adverse event of an asymptomatic but increased serum amylase level was noted in both patients, it relieved without any treatment. Additionally, no severe acute dermatitis was observed for both patients, which is typically seen with conventional primary radiotherapy. Conclusions: It was suggested that BNCT would be a promising treatment modality for scalp-angiosarcoma, which is difficult to treat.
