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.

Who could take part
eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * 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. Exclusion Criteria: * 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.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    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.

    Objective Response (OR) Determined by the Independent Review Facility
    time Frame
    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)

    Duration of OR was defined as the time from the initial CR or PR to the earliest documented disease progression (PD) or death. Metastatic BCC - PD: ≥ 20% increased sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of targets from nadir, or 1 or more new lesions. Locally advanced BCC - PD: any of: (1) ≥ 20% increased SLD from nadir (radiography or externally visible dimension); (2) new ulceration; (3) new lesions (radiography or physical exam); (4) progression of non-target lesions by radiography.

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

  2. description
    PFS was defined as the time from start of treatment to the earliest documented disease progression (PD) or death. Metastatic BCC - PD: ≥ 20% increased sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of targets from nadir, or 1 or more new lesions. Locally advanced BCC - PD: any of: (1) ≥ 20% increased SLD from nadir (radiography or externally visible dimension); (2) new ulceration; (3) new lesions (radiography or physical exam); (4) progression of non-target lesions by radiography.

  4. description
    The SF-36 Health Survey (Version 2) uses patient-reported symptoms on 8 subscales to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The Physical Component Summary (PCS) score summarizes the subscales Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, and General Health. The Mental Component Summary (MCS) score summarizes the subscales Vitality, Social Functioning, Role-Emotional, and Mental Health. Each score was scaled from 0 to 100. A positive change score indicates better HRQoL.

    Change From Baseline in Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey Scores
    time Frame
    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)
  5. description
    In patients with locally advanced BCC, the histopathological effect of vismodegib was determined in tissue biopsies obtained at baseline (prior to study drug dosing) and at 24 weeks after the start of vismodegib treatment, if the patient was still on study without evidence of progression, or at the investigator's assessment of best clinical response (or best clinical/RECIST response), if occurring prior to 24 weeks. At any time during a patient's participation in the study, an optional tumor biopsy might have been requested to clarify the response status of the patient. Reported is the percentage of efficacy-evaluable patients with locally advanced BCC pathology that was confirmed in a baseline biopsy who had an absence of residual BCC post-baseline as assessed by an independent pathological review.
    measure
    Percentage of Participants With Absence of Residual Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) in the Efficacy-Evaluable Locally Advanced BCC Cohort
    time Frame
    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)
