Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, feasibility study is to develop data to evaluate the safety and feasibility of ExAblate 4000 treatment of benign intracranial tumors which require clinical intervention in pediatric and young adult subjects. Indication of Use: Ablation of benign intracranial tumors in children and young adults which are ExAblate accessible.


Description:

The goal of this prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, feasibility study is to develop data to evaluate the safety and feasibility of ExAblate 4000 treatment of benign intracranial tumors which require clinical intervention in pediatric and young adult subjects. Indication of Use: Ablation of benign intracranial tumors in children and young adults which are ExAblate accessible. This is a feasibility study intended to collect data for use in the development of future studies. As such, no formal statistical hypothesis or hypothesis testing is proposed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of managing benign brain tumor size using ExAblate 4000 treatment of progressing benign intracranial tumors which require clinical intervention in pediatric and young adult subjects.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events Safety and Tolerability Safety will be assessed by tabulation of treatment related adverse events. All adverse events at least possibly procedure related will also be examined in detail for patterns of occurrence. Post ExAblate Procedure through 12 Month Follow-up
Primary Measurement of Tumor Volume ExAblate procedure will demonstrate feasibility along with measurement of tumor volumes at follow-up as compared to the baseline MRI. Baseline through 12 Month Follow Up
Secondary Changes in the General Physical Exam Any changes in physical examination performed by a physician. Baseline through 12 Month Follow Up
Secondary Changes in the Neurological Exam Any changes in neurological examination performed by the neurologist/neurosurgeon. Baseline through 12 Month Follow Up
Secondary Confrontational Visual Field Testing Changes in confrontational visual field testing performed by a physician Baseline through 3 Month Follow Up
Secondary Global Impression of Change-Clinician Impression of change as the result of the treatment by a physician Day 1 through 12 Month Follow Up
Secondary Patient Global Impression of Change Impression of change as the result of the treatment by the subject Day 1 through 12 Month Follow Up
