About this trial

The FRONTIER Study is a prospective, interventional, single-arm, multi-center, study to assess the safety and technical feasibility of TheraSphere GBM in patients with recurrent GBM.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subject is 18 years or older and has signed and dated the trial informed consent form (ICF)

Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks

Subject is willing and able to comply with the trial testing, procedures, and follow-up schedule

History of a histologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma per 2021 WHO criteria

Disqualifiers

Have bilateral gadolinium enhancing disease, tumor located in the posterior fossa, tumor involving critical subcortical structures (thalamus/hypothalamus, midbrain, brainstem, corticospinal tract, internal capsule, cerebral peduncle), tumor approximating or invading the brainstem and/or optic chiasma, leptomeningeal disease, or extracranial metastatic disease

Have received more than 1 course of prior cranial radiotherapy (EBRT)

Have received radiosurgery, brachytherapy, or hypofractionated radiotherapy

Have received more than 2 systemic treatment protocols (lines of treatment), not including maintenance temozolomide

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The number of grade 3-5 non-hematological toxicities

Time frame
30 days post index procedure
2

The number of ≥ grade 3 CNS toxicities related to non-target embolization

Time frame
30 days post index procedure
3

Occurrence of symptomatic brain radiation necrosis requiring medical or surgical intervention and confirmed by pathology

Time frame
30 days post index procedure
4

The number of Grade 4 neutropenia events persisting for longer than 5 days

Time frame
30 days post index procedure

Secondary outcomes

1

Rate of any treatment-related adverse events and treatment-related serious adverse events (not including predefined Limiting Toxicities) from first patient enrolled through study completion.

Time frame
Enrollment through 6 months post index procedure
2

Change in post-treatment neurological function as assessed by the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).

The NIHSS is a tool used by healthcare providers to objectively quantify the impairment caused by a stroke. The NIHSS is composed of 11 items, each of which scores a specific ability between a 0 and 4. For each item, a score of 0 typically indicates normal function in that specific ability, while a higher score is indicative of some level of impairment.

Time frame
Enrollment through 6 months post index procedure
3

Change in post-treatment neurological function as assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

The mRS measures the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability on a scale from 0 (no symptoms at all) to 6 (death).

Time frame
Enrollment through 6 months post index procedure
4

Technical Success/Feasibility of TheraSphere GBM - ability to deliver the projected radiation absorbed dose (+/- 20%) to the perfused volume for all patients treated with the device. Assessed from pre-screening through post-device delivery PET-CT/MRI.

Time frame
Pre-screening through post-device delivery PET-CT/MRI.
