Abstract BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GBM) is highly aggressive with poor prognosis, especially in recurrent cases where treatments are limited. Intra-arterial (IA) Yttrium-90 (Y90) microsphere therapy, FDA-approved for hepatocellular carcinoma, offers the potential for targeted radiotherapy in recurrent GBM (rGBM). The FRONTIER trial evaluated the safety and feasibility of IA Y90-glass microsphere treatment for rGBM under an FDA Investigational Device Exemption. Materials and METHODS This prospective, single-arm, multi-center study included patients with rGBM in non-dominant, non-eloquent regions. The primary endpoint was 30-day incidence of treatment-related limiting toxicities (primarily ≥grade 3 non-hematologic, with exclusions). Secondary endpoints included adverse event (AE) rate, neurological changes, technical success (PET absorbed dose within ±20% of target), and efficacy. Treatment regions, defined via cerebral angiography-MRI fusion to cover the recurrent lesion, were targeted with 40±4Gy. Post-treatment evaluations included MRI, Y90-PET, and neurological assessments. RESULTS The procedure was well-tolerated by all twelve subjects and discharge occurred the following day with no decline in neurologic status. No limiting toxicities or device-related AEs were reported. Five patients experienced 8 procedure-related AEs (6 Grade 1, 2 Grade 3). Technical success was 100%, with post-treatment Y90-PET derived median absorbed dose of 41.5 Gy to the treatment region (median volume 80.3 cc). The median tumor absorbed dose was considerably higher at 124.2 Gy (median tumor volume 5.8 cc), indicating preferential tumor perfusion. At 2 months, 67% had stable disease, and 33% showed reduced T1-contrast enhancing volume within the treated area. Median progression-free survival was 3.1 (95% CI 0.92-NE) and overall survival (OS) was 9.3 months (95% CI 5.0-NE) from Y90 treatment. Exploratory analysis revealed a significant OS benefit for patients receiving a tumor absorbed dose above the median (11.9 vs 5.7 months, p=0.0073). CONCLUSION Results from this initial cohort suggest IA Y90-microsphere therapy is technically feasible and well-tolerated in rGBM. Further investigation is warranted.
