  • Patients who are receiving treatment with medications known to be moderate and strong inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome (CYP)3A4/5 or drugs metabolized by CYP2B6 or CYP2C9 that have narrow therapeutic index, and that cannot be discontinued before starting treatment with LDE225. Medications that are strong CYP3A4/5 inhibitors should be discontinued at least 7 days and strong CYP3A/5 inducers for at least 2 weeks prior to starting treatment with LDE225.

  • 10 Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, including women whose career, lifestyle, or sexual orientation precludes intercourse with a male partner and women whose partners have been sterilized by vasectomy or other means, UNLESS they are using two birth control methods. The two methods can be a double barrier method or a barrier method plus a hormonal method. Adequate barrier methods of contraception include:
  • Diaphragm, condom (by the partner), intrauterine device (copper or hormonal), sponge or spermicide. Hormonal contraceptives include any marketed contraceptive agent that includes an estrogen and/or a progestational agent.
  • Reliable contraception should be maintained throughout the study and for 3 months after study drug discontinuation.
  • 11 Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol.

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Open-Label Study to Examine the Safety and Efficacy of Oral LDE225 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Basal Cell Carcinoma Who Have Been Previously Treated With Non-LDE225 Smoothened Inhibitor(s)

This is a prospective single-center, open label, pilot study to investigate the safety and efficacy of LDE225 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma.

Primary Objectives:

Read more
  • To explore the effects of oral LDE225 on the Progression Free Survival (PFS) of individuals with locally advanced or metastatic BCC who have been previously treated with a non-LDE225 Smo inhibitor.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To evaluate the effect of oral LDE225 on tumor tissue biomarkers of BCC activation (Gii 1, 2, Patched 1,2 and Ki67) in individuals which are non-na"ive to Smo inhibitors other than LDE225, at baseline and at end-of-treatment
  • To describe adverse effects of oral LDE225 in individuals with a history of non-LDE225 Smo inhibitor usage
  • To assess the overall survival rates of individuals with locally advanced BCC or metastatic BCC who have previously taken a non-LDE225 Smo inhibitor after treatment with LDE225

Refractory GroupActive comparatorPatients previously treated with non-LDE225 Smo inhibitor who were refractory.

Resistance Developed GroupActive comparatorPatients previously treated with non-LDE225 Smo inhibitor who were initially responsive but became resistant with progressive disease.
Receives: Drug: LDE225

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) of All Participants

    Measured: End of treatment or at time of disease progression (up to 58 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Molecular Markers Associated With Clinical Response

    Following consent, historical biopsy samples were analyzed for molecular markers associated with clinical response. Tumors were analyzed and present of Smooth mutation (SMO [genetic changes which influence Ki 67 and Gli levels]). was determined. The number of participants with and without SMO were reported by clinical outcome (SD = stable disease; PD = progressive disease).

    Measured: Assessed on day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LDE225 in people with Basal Cell Carcinoma, run by Anne Chang at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Nov 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) of All Participants (time frame: End of treatment or at time of disease progression (up to 58 weeks)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01529450, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jan 2017.
