Summary
This trial tests a device implanted in the skull that uses ultrasound to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, allowing chemotherapy drugs to reach brain tumors more effectively. About 57 adults with recurrent glioblastoma will receive this treatment after surgery to remove their tumor. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if this approach can shrink tumors and extend survival.
