NCT ID NCT04440358

Summary

This study tested a new approach for treating recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Researchers used a focused ultrasound device to temporarily open the protective blood-brain barrier, aiming to help the chemotherapy drug carboplatin reach the tumor more effectively. The main goals were to see if this combined procedure was safe and feasible for patients.
