Abstract Purpose: We recently reported on clinical trials for patients with recurrent glioblastoma where low-intensity pulsed ultrasound and microbubbles (LIPU/MB) improved paclitaxel or carboplatin delivery into the brain. Here, we report variable local tumor control at maximal/target dose in our phase I trial (NCT04528680). To address this, investigated combination of preclinical glioma models. Experimental Design: performed MRI-based analysis to evaluate disease from trial. studied...
