Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the safety and early effectiveness of the NaviFUS system with concomitant microbubble administration in conjunction with BEV in recurrent GBM patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety of BEV combined with the NaviFUS System for the treatment of patients with recurrent GBM.

Safety will be assessed using the following methods: Device-related Adverse Events (AEs) reported \[Time Frame: Through study completion, up to 24 weeks\].

To determine the incidence and severity of device-related AEs for bevacizumab plus NaviFUS System treatment in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (rGBM), the following safety parameters will be assessed: AEs, physical examination (PE), vital signs, neurological examination (NE), Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), clinical laboratory tests, proteinuria, and ECG.

NaviFUS + bevacizumab

NaviFUS system with concomitant microbubble administration in conjunction with bevacizumab (BEV)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

NaviFUS System

Intervention Type DEVICE

The NaviFUS System is a FUS phased array system intended to transcranially deliver burst-mode ultrasound energy with the concurrent microbubble intravenous administration to temporally and locally open the BBB. The NaviFUS System is indicated for use to enhance the permeability of conventionally administered therapeutic agents into targeted brain tissue to enhance their therapeutic effects.

Lumason

Intervention Type DRUG

The NaviFUS System is a FUS phased array system intended to transcranially deliver burst-mode ultrasound energy with the concurrent microbubble intravenous administration to temporally and locally open the BBB.

Bevacizumab

Intervention Type DRUG

In this proposed clinical investigation, the NaviFUS System will be used in conjunction with BEV in recurrent GBM patients.

11. Center of region of interest (ROI) (i.e., tumor site) ≥30mm deep to skull bone.
12. If there is the potential for pregnancy, must agree to follow acceptable birth control methods to avoid conception.
13. Able and willing to have their hair shaved (either whole head or the region where the coupling membrane will touch) and placement of peripheral IV line prior to treatment.

Exclusion Criteria

* 1\) Previous treatment with an inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or VEGF receptor (VEGFR), including bevacizumab.

2\) New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within 12 months prior to screening.

3\) Hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg).

4\) Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, severe cerebral or myocardial infarction, cardiac shunt, heart attack within the previous 12 months, stroke (except for transient ischemic attack; TIA) within the previous 6 months, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

5\) Unstable Pulmonary Disease or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy at the time of screening.

6\) Implanted pacemaker, defibrillator or deep brain stimulator, or other implanted electronic devices in the brain or documented clinically significant arrhythmias.
