  • Pre-study MRIs used to determine current progression and/or recurrence of GBM are available to the Investigator and for independent confirmation of progression and/or recurrence.
  • Patient is not considered a candidate for resection.
  • If female of child-bearing potential, a reliable method of contraception must be combined with a negative pregnancy test before entering the study (female patients must be willing to use contraception for 2 months after the last treatment with TransMID (Trademark)). Male patients must be willing to use a barrier method of contraception for up to 2 months after the last treatment with TransMID (Trademark)
  • Able and willing to follow instructions and comply with the protocol.
  • Provide written informed consent prior to participation in the study.
  • Karnofsky Performance Scale Score 70-100.
  • Tumor characteristics:
  • i) must be unifocal; and
  • ii) must be unilateral and supratentorial; and
  • iii) lesion must have a diameter (on contrast-enhanced MRI) greater than or equal to 1.0 cm and less than or equal to 4.0 cm.
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Patients will be excluded from the study if they meet any of the following criteria:
  • Anticipated life expectancy of less than 3 months.
