The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted blood brain barrier opening with Exablate Model 4000 Type 2.0/2.1 for the treatment of NSCLC brain metastases in patients who are undergoing planned FDA approved, on-label systemic therapy utilizing immune checkpoint inhibitors.
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, two-arm, controlled, pivotal clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted blood brain barrier opening using Exablate Model 4000 Type 2 for the treatment of NSCLC brain metastases in subjects who are undergoing planned FDA approved, on-label systemic therapy utilizing immune checkpoint inhibitors for their primary disease. The study will be conducted at up to 30 centers in the US. The immunotherapy regimen (every 3 weeks for 6 cycles) of prescribed ICI therapy is per the FDA approved labeling and the subjects prescribed standard of care therapy for their primary NSCLC. The study aims to demonstrate superiority of Exablate BBBO targeted to their brain metastases over the standard of care without Exablate BBBO with respect to the percentage of subjects achieving Objective Response Rate (ORR) by 6 months follow-up.

Adverse events
Adverse events \[ Time Frame: Through study completion, up to 6 months\]. All adverse events and/or Serious Adverse Events will be documented and reported according to CTCAE criteria.
Time frame: up to 6 months
tumor lesion(s) on the MRI images
Efficacy will be determined by the response of the tumor lesion(s) compared to baseline. Tumor lesions on the MRI images (units: mm) will be measured every three weeks up to six months.
Time frame: up to 6 months
evaluation of Neuro Oncology Brain Mets (RANO-BM) response
The evaluation of the percentages of subjects that achieved the stable disease (SD), partial response (PR) as the best objective response using the response assessment in Neuro Oncology Brain Mets (RANO-BM) response criteria measured at baseline and every 3 weeks during each treatment cycle to up to 6 months of therapy.
Time frame: up to 6 months
Time to response for brain metastases by treatment arm [applicable to the completed stage 1a only]
The time to achieve a confirmed complete response or partial response for brain metastases by treatment arm as assessed using the RANO-BM criteria evaluated every 3 weeks up to 6 months during treatment cycles.
Time frame: up to 6 months
