简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption in adult patients with a first presentation of a glioblastoma (GBM) following a maximal safe surgical resection and standard chemo-radiation with temozolomide (TMZ) protocol and ready for the maintenance phase of the Stupp protocol with TMZ.
详细描述
This is a prospective, single center, single-arm study to establish the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of BBB disruption along the periphery of the tumor resection cavity using the ExAblate Neuro Model 4000 Type 2 (220 kHz) system and DEFINITY ultrasound contrast in patients with GBM. Adult patients with a first time diagnosis of GBM, whom have undergone maximal safe surgical resection and have safely completed the initial phase of concurrent chemo-radiation therapy, will be recruited for this study. Twenty patients will undergo up to 6 treatments with FUS coincident with their standard TMZ cycles.

结局指标
主要结局
Device and procedure related adverse events
时间窗: Throughout the study, approximately 12 months.
The number and severity of device and BBB disruption procedure related adverse events will be evaluated and classified according to the CTCAE
次要结局
- Effectiveness of BBB disruption in the treated tumor region(at each standard of care neuro-oncology follow up visit until date of death from any cause, assessed up to 48 months)
- Feasibility of repeated BBB disruption will be evaluated through assessment of post-procedure contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging(Immediately after each FUS BBB disruption procedure)
