(In case of planned lobectomy, post operative peritumoral brain or residual size ≤5 cm) WHO performance status ≤ 2 (equivalent to Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 70) Age ≥ 18 years Participant must be recovered from acute toxic effects (<grade 2) of all prior anticancer therapy. Interval since last therapy to presumed date of surgery of at least: ≥ 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) for Cytotoxic Other small chemical entity (e.g., targeted therapy) For biologics (e.g., antibodies, except bevacizumab) ≥ 6 weeks of prior bevacizumab Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal laboratory values within 14 days of inclusion i.e.: Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL, platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3, neutrophils ≥ 1500/mm3. Liver function test with ≤ grade 1 alterations, except if due to antiepileptic drug therapy or isolated increased bilirubin due to Gilbert syndrome Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of at least 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 using Cockcroft Gault formula Patient able to understand clinical trial information and willing to provide signed and informed consent Patient of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days of inclusion and must agree to use a medically-acceptable method of birth control during the treatment period and, if randomized in the experimental arm, for at least 1 month after the last cycle of carboplatin A male patient must agree to use condoms during the treatment period and, if randomized in the experimental arm, for at least 3 months after the last cycle of carboplatin; the patient must also refrain from donating sperm during this period. Patient must be a beneficiary of a health plan that covers routine patient care costs. Patient must be a beneficiary of or affiliated with a social security scheme (according to country-specific requirements) Non-Inclusion Criteria: Multifocal enhancing tumor on T1w (unless all localized in a 5 cm diameter area) Posterior fossa tumor Known BRAF/ NTKR mutated patients Patient at risk of surgery site infection (e.g., 2 or more previous craniotomies/neurosurgery within the last 3 months, poor skin condition, and/or previously infected surgical field, or any other condition that is of increased infectious risk in the opinion of the neurosurgeon) Patient treated at high, stable -or average- dose of corticosteroids (≥ 6 mg/day dexamethasone or equivalent) in the 7 days prior to inclusion. Patients on dexamethasone for reasons other than mass effect may still be enrolled. Contra-indication to carboplatin, CCNU or TMZ Known history of hypersensitivity reactions to perflutren lipid microsphere components or to any of the inactive ingredients in ultrasound resonator Patient has received bevacizumab for other reasons (such as tumor progression) than treating edema Peripheral neuropathy or neuropathy ≥ grade 2 Uncontrolled epilepsy or evidence of intracranial pressure Patient with known intracranial aneurism or having presented intra-tumor significant spontaneous hemorrhage Patient with unremovable coils, clips, shunts, intravascular stents, and/or wafer, or reservoirs Patient with medical need to be on continued anti-platelet aggregation therapy and/or anticoagulation. Patients for whom anticoagulation/platelet aggregation can be temporarily interrupted may be eligible after discussion and prior authorization by the sponsor. Patient receiving enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (namely phenytoin, carbamazepine and derivatives, phenobarbital), unless switched on another antiepileptic regimen History of other malignancy within 3 years prior to study start with the exception of adequately treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, non-melanomatous skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix Patient with known or suspected active or chronic infections Patient with known significant cardiac disease, known to have right-to-left shunts, severe pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery pressure > 90 mm Hg), uncontrolled systemic hypertension, or acute respiratory distress syndrome Known sensitivity/allergy to gadolinium, or other intravascular contrast agents Patient with impaired thermo-regulation or temperature sensation Pregnant, or breastfeeding patient Any other serious patient medical or psychological condition that may interfere with adequate and safe delivery of treatment and care (e.g., positive human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] status, potential blood-borne infections,…), circumstance (e.g., sinus opening during surgery), psychological, morphological characteristics (e.g., skin characteristics, bone thickness), or any pre-existing comorbidities that in the investigator's opinion may prevent the implantation of the device, may impair the ability of the patient to receive treatment with SonoCloud-9 or may be confounding for evaluation of the clinical trial endpoints Patients under guardianship, curatorship, under legal protection or deprived of liberty by an administrative or judicial decision Exclusion Criterion: Occurrence of any major medical illnesses or impairments that in the Investigator's opinion may hampered the ability of the patient to receive treatment with SonoCloud-9 or may be confounding for evaluation of the clinical endpoints.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Experimental Arm: SonoCloud-9 Ultrasound + Carboplatin
Control Arm: SoC single agent chemotherapy TMZ or CCNU
The SonoCloud-9 (SC9) device will be implanted in the skull bone window upon completion of tumor resection and routine craniotomy. Carboplatin (CBDCA) will be administered intravenously prior to sonication. The CBDCA/SC9 treatment will be repeated every 3 weeks (depending on patient's tolerability) until disease progression or as clinically indicated. Administration of up to 7 cycles is planned.
Standard of Care (SoC) treatment with either temozolomide (TMZ) or lomustine (CCNU). Standard TMZ chemotherapy as a single oral dose every 4 weeks for up to 6 cycles. Standard CCNU chemotherapy as a single oral dose every 6 weeks for up to 4 cycles.
