Brief Summary

This is a Phase II, single-arm, two-cohort multicenter clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of vismodegib (GDC-0449) in patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma. All patients receive vismodegib until evidence of progression, intolerable toxicities most probably attributable to vismodegib, or withdrawal from the study.

Conditions

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Keywords

BCC; Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitor; Hedgehog; Basal Cell Cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Objective Response (OR) Determined by the Independent Review Facility

  OR=complete (CR) or partial response (PR). Metastatic-CR:Disappearance of all targets. PR:≥30% decreased sum of longest diameter (SLD) of targets compared to baseline (B). Locally advanced-Response=No progressive disease (PD) and ≥30% decreased SLD from baseline (radiography \[R\]) or ≥30% decreased SLD from B (externally visible dimension \[EVD\]) or completely resolved ulceration. CR:Response with no residual BCC on tumor biopsy (otherwise response was PR). PD:Any of ≥20% increased SLD from nadir (R or EVD), new ulceration, new lesions (R or physical exam) or non-target lesion progression by R.

  At Baseline and once every 8 weeks thereafter (responses confirmed within ≥4 weeks) until the end of study (up to the clinical cutoff date of 26 November 2010, up to 90 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Duration of Objective Response (OR) Determined by the Independent Review Facility

  From initial OR until the earliest documented disease progression (PD) or death (until clinical cutoff date of 26 November 2010, up to 90 weeks)

• Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Determined by the Independent Review Facility

  From the initial dose of study drug until the earliest documented disease progression (PD) or death (up to the clinical cutoff date of 28 November 2011, up to 2 years, 5.5 months)

• Overall Survival

  From the initial dose of study drug until death from any cause (up to the clinical cutoff date of 30 May 2013, up to 4 years)

• Change From Baseline in Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey Scores

  Baseline, Week 12, Week 24, and at the end of the study or early termination visit (up to the clinical cutoff date of 26 November 2010, up to 90 weeks)

• Percentage of Participants With Absence of Residual Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) in the Efficacy-Evaluable Locally Advanced BCC Cohort

  At Baseline and 24 weeks, and at any optional point post-baseline through end of the study (up to the clinical cutoff date of 26 November 2010, up to 90 weeks)

Study Arms (1)

Vismodegib 150 mg

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients received vismodegib 150 mg orally once daily until disease progression; intolerable toxicity, most probably attributable to vismodegib; or withdrawal from the study.

Drug: Vismodegib 150 mg

Interventions

Vismodegib 150 mg DRUG

Vismodegib 150 mg was provided in hard gelatin capsules.

Also known as: GDC-0449

Vismodegib 150 mg

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Men and women ≥ 18 years of age.
• For patients with metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC), histological confirmation of distant BCC metastasis (eg, lung, liver, lymph nodes, or bone), with metastatic disease that is Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) measurable using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
• For patients with locally advanced BCC, histologically confirmed disease that is considered to be inoperable.
• For patients with locally advanced BCC, radiotherapy must have been previously administered for their locally advanced BCC, unless radiotherapy is contraindicated or inappropriate. For patients whose locally advanced BCC has been irradiated, disease must have progressed after radiation.
• For women of childbearing potential, agreement to the use of two acceptable methods of contraception, including one barrier method, during the study and for 12 months after discontinuation of vismodegib (GDC-0449).
• For men with female partners of childbearing potential, agreement to use a latex condom, and to advise their female partner to use an additional method of contraception during the study and for 3 months after discontinuation of vismodegib.

You may not qualify if:

• Prior treatment with vismodegib or other Hedgehog pathway inhibitors.
• Pregnancy or lactation.
• Life expectancy of \< 12 weeks.
• Patients with superficial multifocal BCC who may be considered unresectable due to breadth of involvement.
• Concurrent non-protocol-specified anti-tumor therapy (eg, chemotherapy, other targeted therapy, radiation therapy, or photodynamic therapy).
• Recent, current, or planned participation in an experimental drug study.
• History of other malignancies within 3 years of the first day of treatment with vismodegib in this study (Day 1), except for tumors with a negligible risk for metastasis or death, such as adequately treated squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin, ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
• Uncontrolled medical illnesses such as infection requiring treatment with intravenous antibiotics.
