简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of BBB disruption using the ExAblate 4000-system Type 2 in patients with Her-2 positive breast cancer metastases in the brain.
详细描述
The goal of this prospective, single arm, non-randomized study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using the Exablate Model 4000 Type 2 "Neuro-System" as a tool to serially disrupt the blood brain barrier in a temporary and localized fashion in patients with breast cancer and brain metastases. Up to 10 patients will be recruited at Sunnybrook. Patients will be consented, screened, undergo up to 6 study Exablate BBBD treatment cycles, every 2-3 weeks based on their trastuzumab regimen. Follow-up will continue through 12 weeks following the last BBBD post-treatment and the subject's participation in the study will be complete.
Data will be collected to establish the basic safety of this type of treatment as the basis for later studies to evaluate clinical efficacy.

排除标准
- •Brain metastases not visible on the pre-therapy imaging
- •The sonication pathway to the tumour involves:
- •i. Extensive scalp scars ii. Clips or other metallic implanted objects in the skull or the brain, except shunts
- •The subject presents with symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure (e.g., headache, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and papilledema)
- •Cardiac disease or unstable hemodynamics including:
- •i. Documented myocardial infarction within six months of enrolment ii. Unstable angina on medication iii. Congestive heart failure iv. Left ventricular ejection fraction < 50% v. Right-to-left, bidirectional, or transient right-to-left cardiac shunts vi. History of a hemodynamically unstable cardiac arrythmia vii. Cardiac pacemaker viii. Contraindications to perflutren including subjects with a family or personal history of QT prolongation or taking concomitant medications known to cause QTc prolongation
- •Severe hypertension (diastolic BP > 100 on medication)
- •Anti-coagulant therapy or medications known to increase risk of hemorrhage within washout period prior to treatment (i.e. antiplatelet or vitamin K inhibitor anticoagulants within 7 days, non-vitamin K inhibitor anticoagulants within 72 hours, or heparin-derived compounds within 48 hours of treatment)
- •History of a bleeding disorder, coagulopathy or with a history of spontaneous tumour hemorrhage
- •Abnormal level of platelets (< 100000) or INR > 1.3
- •Documented cerebral infarction within the past 12 months
- •Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) in the last 1 month
- •Known allergy sensitivity or contraindications to gadolinium-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA), CT contrast, or perflutren or trastuzumab
- •Allergy to eggs or egg products
- •Contraindications to MRI such as non-MRI-compatible implanted devices
- •Large subjects not fitting comfortably into the MRI scanner (generally >250 lbs)
- •Difficulty lying supine and still for up to 4 hours in the MRI unit or claustrophobia
- •Untreated, uncontrolled sleep apnea
- •Positive pregnancy test (for pre-menopausal women)
- •Known life-threatening systemic disease
- •Severely impaired renal function
- •Respiratory: chronic pulmonary disorders, e.g. severe emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary vasculitis, or other causes of reduced pulmonary vascular cross-sectional area, subjects with a history of drug allergies
- •Any illness or medical condition that in the investigator's opinion precludes participation in this study
