Phase 3 — Testing in thousands of people, comparing the treatment against what doctors currently use. This is the last big step before approval.
This trial is testing whether combining Avastin (a medication that slows tumor growth) with a new ultrasound-based technique called NaviFUS System can help people whose glioblastoma has come back after radiation and chemotherapy. Half of the participants will receive the medication alone, while the other half will receive the medication plus the ultrasound treatment. Researchers want to see if adding this ultrasound technology makes the medication work better against the cancer.
Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer, and when it returns after initial treatment, options become limited. This new treatment aims to improve outcomes by using focused ultrasound waves to help the medication reach and penetrate the tumor more effectively than the medication can do on its own.

You will first go through a 2-week screening period to make sure you qualify. Then you'll be randomly assigned to receive either the standard medication alone or the medication plus the ultrasound treatment. If you receive the combination treatment, you'll get an intravenous infusion of the medication, wait 30 minutes, then receive an injection of microbubbles followed by focused ultrasound therapy. Treatments continue every 2 weeks for up to 34 weeks or until the tumor progresses, side effects become too severe, or you choose to stop.
