Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Exablate Model 4000 Type 2 system when used as a tool to open the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) in subjects with recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) undergoing carboplatin monotherapy.
Detailed description
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, prospective, multi-center, single-arm study to establish the safety and feasibility of blood-brain-barrier disruption (BBBD) combined with intravenous carboplatin for the treatment of rGBM using the Exablate Neuro Model 4000 Type 2 system. Adult glioblastoma subjects that are planned for carboplatin chemotherapy will be considered for study enrollment. Eligible subjects will undergo up to 6 cycles of Exablate BBBD procedures in conjunction with carboplatin chemotherapy.
Interventions
BBB opening via Exablate Neuro Type 2 system to deliver carboplatin
Carboplatin infusion on the day of Exablate BBBD procedure to treat cancerous cells in the brain
