Scientists used ultrasound to penetrate the blood-brain barrier in brain tumor treatment, delivering a small dose of a chemotherapy and immunotherapy drug cocktail.
Other clinical trials are testing ultrasound-based opening of the blood brain barrier but none are using such a potent drug as paclitaxel
Carthera announced today that it closed a $40 million Series B financing round to support its ultrasound-based SonoCloud device.
Northwestern Medicine scientists report results of the first in-human clinical trial in which they used a novel, skull-implantable ultrasound device to open the blood-brain barrier and repeatedly permeate large, critical regions of the human brain to deliver chemotherapy that was injected intravenously.
