Arms (1)
- label
- Focused Ultrasound (FUS) BBB Disruption
- description
- The Exablate Model 4000 Type 2.0 system is intended for use as a tool to induce localized and temporary blood-brain barrier disruption in patients with glioblastoma undergoing standard of care chemotherapy.
- interventionNames
- Device: Magnetic Resonance guided Focused ultrasound (MRgFUS)
Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Device and procedure related adverse events
- timeFrame
- Throughout the study, approximately 12 months.
- description
- The number and severity of device and BBB disruption procedure related adverse events will be evaluated and classified according to the CTCAE
- measure
- Feasibility of repeated BBB disruption will be evaluated through assessment of post-procedure contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
- timeFrame
- At the time of each ExAblate MRgFUS procedure]
