Brief Title: ExAblate Blood Brain Barrier Disruption (BBBD) for Planned Surgery in Suspected Infiltrating Glioma
Official Title: A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Feasibility of Exablate Model 4000 Type-2 to Temporarily Mediate Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption (BBBD) in Patients With Suspected Infiltrating Glioma in the Setting of Planned Surgical Interventions
Study ID: NCT03322813
Brief Summary: This study is designed to assess the safety and feasibility of using the ExAblate, Type 2 to temporarily disrupt the blood brain barrier in non-enhancing suspected infiltrating glioma. The ExAblate Model 4000 Type-2 is intended for use as a tool to disrupt the BBB.
Detailed Description: This study is a prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, open-label feasibility study to evaluate the safety of focal BBBD using the ExAblate® 4000 Type 2 system. Up to 15 subjects with suspected infiltrating glioma who are scheduled to undergo brain tumor resection may be recruited for the study. Only patients that have a non-enhancing tumor components in a non-eloquent region of the planned standard-of-care resection volume will be eligible. Up to 4 centers may participate in this study.
