All Genders

18-80 years

Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM) are faced with limited treatment options. This pilot study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of combining an investigational drug called 5-ALA with ne...

Detailed Description

The combination of 5-ALA (Gleolan) and LIFU is collectively known as sonodynamic therapy (SDT). SDT is an investigational therapy that will be administered 1-3 weeks before surgery for recurrent GBM. ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Disease status and Disease Parameters:
  • Suspected recurrent glioblastoma that is clearly measurable based on the modified Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria
  • The tumor lesion needs to comprise at least 1 contrast-enhancing lesion with a volume of ≥ 2 cm3 and ≤ 20 cm3 of targeted treatment area
  • Tumor tissue to be treated is in a surgically accessible brain region for resection
  • The brain tumor to be treated must be in the treatment envelope of the NaviFUS system (30 mm to 90 mm from the inner skull table)
  • Recurrence will be assessed by imaging and confirmed by consensus at tumor board
  • Men or women between the ages of 18-80 years of age at the time of consent
  • No contraindication to repeat brain surgery
  • Karnofsky Performance Score of 70-100
  • Able to undergo an MRI with contrast
  • Able to swallow oral medications
  • Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, lifestyle considerations, laboratory tests, and other procedures.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document (personally or by the legally authorized representative, if applicable).
  • Participants who received prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and/or another investigational therapy must have recovered (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] Grade ≤1 or baseline) from the acute effects of the therapy or therapies) except for residual alopecia or Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy prior to registration.
  • Has adequate bone marrow and organ function as defined by the following laboratory values (as assessed by the local laboratory for eligibility):
  • Hematological
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000/mm3
  • Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 11 g/dL for women and ≥ 12 g/dL for men Participants may receive erythrocyte transfusions to achieve this hemoglobin level at the discretion of the investigator.
  • INR ≤ 1.4
  • Renal \& Hepatic
  • Creatinine clearance CrCl ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 as estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault (C-G) equation. If estimated CrCl is abnormal, accurate measurement should be obtained by 24- hour CrCl.
  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (except in patients with Gilbert's disease, where bilirubin to 2.0x ULN is allowed).
  • AST and ALT ≤ 3 x ULN
  • Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 3 x ULN
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥30mL/min/1.73m2

Exclusion

  • Known sensitivity or allergy to 5-ALA
  • Simultaneous use of other potentially phototoxic substances (e.g. tetracyclines, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, hypericin extracts)
  • Diagnosis of porphyria
  • Hypersensitivity against porphyrins
  • Pregnancy
  • Significant cardiac disease or coagulopathy
  • Herniation / intractable seizure / other clinical indications requiring urgent resection
  • Known active systemic bacterial infection (requiring intravenous \[IV\] antibiotics at time of initiating study treatment), fungal infection, or detectable viral infection (such as known human immunodeficiency virus positivity or with known active hepatitis B or C (for example, hepatitis B surface antigen positive)
  • Have had a recent (≤3 months prior to registration) transient ischemic attack or stroke
  • Significant vascular disease (e.g. aortic aneurysm)
  • Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy

  • Transmural myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to registration
  • Serious and inadequately controlled cardiac arrhythmia
  • Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • Has serious and/or uncontrolled preexisting medical condition(s) that, in the judgment of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study
  • Treatment with another investigational drug or investigational procedure within 30 days prior to registration or within 5 half-lives of the investigational product, whichever is longer
  • Brain edema and/or mass effect that causes midline shift of more than 15 mm
  • Evidence of recent (within 30 days prior to registration) intracranial hemorrhage
  • Calcifications or metallic implanted objects in the focused ultrasound sonication path
  • Scalp atrophy or scars at the expected location of transducer
  • Cerebral or systemic vasculopathy

  • Respiratory: chronic pulmonary disorders (e.g., severe emphysema, COPD, pulmonary vasculitis, or other causes of reduced pulmonary vascular cross-sectional area).
  • Receipt of radiotherapy ≤21 days prior to registration
  • Receipt of chemotherapy ≤ 21 days prior to registration
