Tumor Electric Fields Treatment System for Glioblastoma

Early Phase 1
Conditions
Glioblastoma
Interventions
Device: Tumor Electric Fields Treatment System
Registration Number
NCT04417933
Lead Sponsor
Xiangya Hospital of Central South University
Brief Summary

This early phase I trial will investigate the safety and feasibility of applying the Tumor Electric Fields Treatment System to subjects with recurrent glioblastoma.

Detailed Description

Subjects who have previously completed radiotherapy and at least two cycles of chemotherapy with imaging or pathological evidence of tumor recurrence will receive Tumor Electric Fields Treatment System. The main objective is to evaluate the safety of applying the Tumor Electric Fields Treatment System to subjects with recurrent GBM.
