Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Experimental Arm: SonoCloud-9 Ultrasound + Carboplatin

Control Arm: SoC single agent chemotherapy TMZ or CCNU

Arm Description

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall survival (OS)
Survival status will be collected during the treatment period, for up to 7 months (short-term follow-up) and then every 3 months as standard of care follow-up (long-term follow-up) until participant's 'End of Study', defined as end of survival follow-up period, death, withdrawal of consent for the collection of data, or 'lost to follow-up' (whichever comes first).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Tumor Growth Rate
Tumor Growth Rate will be determined by measuring hyperintense tumor volume using T1w contrast-enhancing tumor-related region from post-surgery MRI baseline to unequivocal progression MRI (i.e., suspected radiologic progression confirmed by repeat scan).
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Defined as the time from date of randomization to the earlier of the following events: unequivocal tumor progression as determined by IRC per RANO criteria or death due to any cause.
Overall survival at 12 months (OS12)
Defined as the proportion of participants alive at 12 months
Overall survival at 18 months (OS18)
Defined as the proportion of participants alive at 18 months
Progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS6)
Defined as the proportion of participants without disease progression or death due to any cause at 6 months.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The brain is protected from any toxic or inflammatory molecule by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This physical barrier is located at the level of the blood vessel walls. Because of these barrier properties, the blood vessels are also impermeable to the passage of therapeutic molecules from the blood to the brain. The development of effective treatments against glioblastoma is thus limited due to the BBB that prevents most drugs injected in the bloodstream from getting into brain tissue where the tumour is seated. The SonoCloud-9 (SC9) is an investigational device using ultrasound technology and specially developed to open the BBB in the area of and surrounding the tumour. The transient opening of the BBB allows more drugs to reach the brain tumour tissue. Carboplatin is a chemotherapy that is approved to treat different cancer types alone or in combination with other drugs, and has been used in the treatment of glioblastoma. Despite its proven efficacy in the laboratory on glioblastoma cells, carboplatin does not readily cross the BBB in humans. A clinical trial has shown that in combination with the SonoCloud-9, more carboplatin can reach the brain tumour tissue. The objective of the proposed trial is to show that the association - carboplatin with the SonoCloud-9 - will increase efficacy of the drug in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
