A Phase 0 single center, first in human, open-label study of ascending energy doses of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) utilizing the MRgFUS combined with intravenous ALA to assess safety and efficacy in up to 45 participants with recurrent HGG. Eligible participants who are scheduled for resection will be administered intravenous (IV) aminolevulinic acid HCl (ALA) approximately six to seven (6-7) hours prior to receiving sonodynamic therapy (SDT).

To identify oxidative stress in tissue exposed to sonodynamic therapy in recurrent high-grade glioma patients.
To quantify markers for oxidative stress (Protein oxidation (Protein Carbonyl Content), Lipid peroxidation (4-hydroxynonenal and MDA), DNA damage (8-hydroxyguanosine),General (GSH, GSSG, Cys, CySS) in the brain tumor tissue (2-, 4- and 6-days post SDT) (both in SDT and control fractions)
