The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Exablate Model 4000 Type 2 system when used as a tool to open the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) in subjects with recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) undergoing carboplatin monotherapy.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, prospective, multi-center, single-arm study to establish the safety and feasibility of blood-brain-barrier disruption (BBBD) combined with intravenous carboplatin for the treatment of rGBM using the Exablate Neuro Model 4000 Type 2 system with microbubble resonators. Adult glioblastoma subjects that are planned for carboplatin chemotherapy will be considered for study enrollment. Eligible subjects will undergo up to 6 cycles of Exablate BBBD procedures in conjunction with carboplatin chemotherapy.

Adverse events
All adverse events and/or Serious Adverse Events will be documented and reported according to CTCAE criteria.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 12 months
Contrast intensity on MR imaging
BBBD will be determined by contrast intensity in sonicated areas on T1 weighted gadolinium-based MR imaging
Time frame: Immediately after Exablate BBBD procedure
