- Patients eligible for partial or complete surgical resection and TemoRadiation followed by adjuvant TMZ (according to the current Stupp standard of care protocol)

- Sexually active men with a woman of childbearing potential who agree to follow instructions for contraceptive method(s) during the treatment period and for 6 months after the last TMZ cycle. They should refrain from donating sperm during this period.
- Written, dated and signed informed consent prior to any specific research procedure (collection, processing and testing).
- Affiliation to a French social security system (beneficiary or beneficiary’s family) excluding the AME.
Non-inclusion criteria:

- Patients with known intracranial aneurysms, with and/or without coils, clips, shunts, intravascular stents, wafer, non-absorbable dura mater substitutes or reservoirs,
- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent disease or any pre-existing comorbidity that, in the opinion of the investigator, may preclude implantation of the device or may interfere with the patient’s ability to receive treatment with the SonoCloud or may be created for the evaluation of the clinical trial,

- Known severe renal impairment,
- Known severe myelosuppression,
- Known psychiatric illnesses/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements,
- Any other illness or condition that, in the opinion of the local investigator, would interfere with study compliance or compromise patient safety or study outcomes,
- Known immunodeficiency (HIV) disease or treatment,
- Known chronic/active viral or bacterial diseases (potential bloodstream infections that could lead to meningitis or brain abscess),
- Patients under judicial protection,
- Patients who are undergoing prohibited treatment such as:Any investigational drug within 30 days prior to inclusion and during the study,
- Antibiotics of known neurotoxicity (e.g. aminoglycosides, cephalosporin, quinolones), unless substitution is not possible,
- Non-absorbable material (dura mater substitute, haemostatic agent…)
- Any other drug that, in the opinion of the investigator, would cause brain toxicity due to BBB opening,
