Inclusion Criteria

1. Have histologically confirmed recurrent glioblas toma or clear MRI images of rGBM and prior expla nation of prognosis (T2/FLAIR abnormality consist ent with tumor-associated edema that may also de monstrate additional features consistent with infilt rating high grade glioma e.g.: restricted diffusion; i ncrease blood flow or volume on perfusion imagin g).
2. Subjects with planned Carboplatin therapy.
3. Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial.
4. Be 18 years and < 80 years of age on day of sig ning informed consent.
5. Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) 70.
6. Recurrence after first line therapy with temozolomide and radiotherapy.
7. Screening labs (performed within 14 days of the first procedure) demonstrate adequate organ func
tion as defined
8. CT within 30 days of first Exablate procedure an d MRI within 14 days prior to first Exablate proced ure.
9. An interval of at least 3 weeks (prior to first Exa blate BBBD) between prior surgical resection at re currence or one week for stereotactic biopsy.
10. An interval of at least 12 weeks from the compl etion of radiation therapy to first Exablate procedu re unless there is unequivocal histologic confirmat ion of tumor progression or radiographic progressi on outside of the prior radiation field.
11. Participants must have recovered to grade 0 o r 1 or pre-treatment baseline from clinically signifi cant toxic effects of prior therapy (exceptions inclu de but not limited to alopecia, laboratory values n ot listed per inclusion criteria, and lymphopenia w hich is common after therapy with temozolomide).
12. Prior to first Exablate procedure, the following time periods must have elapsed: 5 half-lives from any investigational agent, 4 weeks from cytotoxic t herapy (except 23 days for temozolomide and 6 w eeks from nitrosoureas), 6 weeks from antibodies, or 4 weeks (or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter) fr om other anti-tumor therapies. No wash-out perio d required for prior TTF or vaccine therapies.
13. Female subject is confirmed NOT PREGNANT each procedure day. Male and Female subjects ar e utilizing highly effective contraception during th e study and through 120 days (4 months) after the study.
14. Able to communicate verbally (in order to ens ure adequate monitoring during the Exablate BBB D procedure)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety of the BBB open procedure will be evaluate d through patient examination and MRI assessmen ts during the treatment and during clinical visits. Feasibility of BBB open will be evaluated through assessment of post-sonication contrast- enhanced MR imaging and comparing it with pre-sonication i maging.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The preliminary effectiveness using modified RANO criteria and, Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS)
