RECRUITING

Sonodynamic Therapy With SONALA-001 and Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound for the Treatment of Progressive or Recurrent Glioblastoma

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, best dose, and effectiveness of SONALA-001 in combination with magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), also called sonodynamic therapy, in treating patients with glioblastoma that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Sonodynamic therapy is a non-invasive combination therapy that uses low-intensity ultrasound, such as MRgFUS, to activate a drug, such as SONALA-001, to kill tumor cells. SONALA-001 binds to the tumor and may help the sonodynamic therapy target the tumor. MRgFUS is an image-guided, non-invasive technique that uses high energy ultrasound from the Exablate 4000 Type 2.0 device to kill tumors without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. Giving sonodynamic therapy using SONALA-001 with MRgFUS may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with progressive or recurrent glioblastoma.

  17. * Provide written informed consent
  18. * Willing to participate in the neuro-oncology biorepository \[Institutional Review Board (IRB) 12-003458, principal investigator (PI): Jann Sarkaria, MD, PhD\] for collecting and archiving biospecimens samples on neuro-oncology patients
  19. * Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (during the active monitoring phase of the study)
  1. * Any of the following because this study involves an investigational agent, the genotoxic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects of which on the developing fetus and newborn are unknown:
  2. * Pregnant persons
  3. * Nursing persons
  4. * Persons of childbearing potential (and persons able to father a child) who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception

  10. * Known history of the following conditions:
  11. * Allergy to gadolinium contrast agents
  12. * Patients known to be HIV positive and currently receiving antiretroviral therapy

  22. * History of myocardial infarction ≤ 6 months, or congestive heart failure requiring use of ongoing maintenance therapy for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias
  23. * Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens
