Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Using Transcranial MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound

Sponsor: InSightec

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of BBB disruption using transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound in conjunction with an intravenous ultrasound contrast agent to increase the accumulation of doxorubicin in brain tumours and the adjacent brain using the ExAblate Transcranial system (220 kHz). Data will be collected to establish the basic safety of this type of treatment as the basis for later studies to evaluate its clinical efficacy.
