About this trial

A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device for the treatment of recurrent Glioblastoma

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Males and females ≥ 18 and ≤ 85 years of age

Patients must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of WHO grade IV glioblastoma (including variants such as gliosarcoma, giant cell glioblastoma).

Single, gadolinium-enhancing tumor recurrence ≤ 3cm in maximum diameter

Patient not amenable for surgical resection due to any of the following but not limited reasons: patient refusal, medically ineligible, surgically too high risk due to tumor location in a deep and/or eloquent location.

Disqualifiers

Medical contraindication to MRI (cardiac devices are allowed if MRI compatible)

More than 3 relapses per RANO criteria

Acquired and or genetic clinical bleeding tendency

Suspicious of infratentorial or leptomeningeal or intraventricular disease

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Device :DaRT seeds

    Device

    The sources are impregnated with a layer containing Ra-224 which is well fixated to the surface of the source. Ra-224 undergoes a series of decay events with each daughter product producing an alpha particle

Treatment groups

10 Participants
are divided into 1 treatment group
Group A: Experimental: DaRT seedsExperimental treatment 1 intervention
