Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
    Characterize adverse events experienced in glioblastoma subjects undergoing LITT using the NeuroBlate System. Adverse events will be collected based on subject reports and subject examination/testing.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-Free Survival Rate [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
    To describe progression-free survival rate in subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastomas treated with the NeuroBlate System

  2. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
    To describe/estimate the overall survival of subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastomas treated with LITT using the NeuroBlate System

  3. Changes in Quality of Life [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
    Characterize the changes in quality of life in subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastoma who are undergoing LITT using the NeuroBlate System via Quality of Life and neurocognitive assessment tools
