The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted blood brain barrier disruption with Exablate Model 4000 Type2.0/2.1 in combination with Doxorubicin therapy for the treatment of DIPG in pediatric patients

This is a prospective, single arm, non-randomized feasibility study to evaluate the safety, feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Blood Brain Barrier Disruption (BBBD) using the Exablate Type 2 system in pediatric patients with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPG) undergoing Doxorubicin chemotherapy. The study will be conducted at up to three sites in the United States. Patients will undergo 3 treatment cycles, approximately 4-6 weeks apart. The study aims to establish feasibility and safety of Exablate BBBD in conjunction with Doxorubicin in the treatment of pediatric DIPG and assess preliminary efficacy in this patient population.

• Post-radiation imaging does not show evidence of necrosis/ hemorrhage or other features that contraindicate MRgFUS
• If brain surgery occurred, at least 14 days passed since last brain surgery and the patient is fully recovered and neurologically stable
