Cemiplimab in locally advanced basal cell carcinoma after hedgehog inhibitor therapy: an open-label, multi-centre, single-arm, phase 2 trial.
Summary Background Before February, 2021, there was no standard treatment regimen for locally advanced basal cell carcinoma after first-line hedgehog inhibitor (HHI) therapy. Cemiplimab, a PD-1 antibody, is approved for treatment of advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and has shown clinical activity as monotherapy in first-line non-small-cell lung cancer. Here, we present the primary analysis data of cemiplimab in patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma after HHI therapy. Methods We did an open-label, multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial across 38 outpatient clinics, primarily at academic medical centres, in Canada, Europe, and the USA. Eligible patients (aged ≥18 years…
Randomized, Double-Blind Study of Sonidegib (Lde225) in Patients (Pts) with Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma (Bcc)
ABSTRACT Aim: The BOLT phase 2 study, comparing 2 doses of sonidegib, a hedgehog pathway inhibitor (HhPI), in pts with advanced BCC (aBCC; NCT01327053), met its primary endpoint of objective response rate ≥30% in both arms in analyses of data collected up to 6 mo after randomization of the last pt (June 28, 2013, cutoff; median follow-up [f/u], 13.9 mo; Migden, ASCO 2014). Associations of GLI1 (marker of Hh pathway activation) with clinical outcome (as of June 28, 2013) and updated 12-mo efficacy and safety data (Dec 31, 2013, cutoff; median f/u, 20.0 mo) are presented. Methods: Pts with locally advanced BCC (LaBCC; n = 194) not amenable to curative surgery or radiation or metastatic BCC (m…

Association Between Tumor Egfr and Kras Mutation Status and Clinical Outcomes in Nsclc Patients Randomized to Sorafenib Plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) or Bsc Alone: Subanalysis of the Phase III Mission Trial
ABSTRACT Background Tumor EGFR and KRas mutations are both predictive and prognostic biomarkers in patients with advanced NSCLC. We analyzed the correlation between these biomarkers and treatment outcomes in a phase III trial of 3rd/4th line sorafenib in patients with NSCLC. Methods The global, randomized, placebo-controlled MISSION trial enrolled 703 patients with advanced relapsed/refractory NSCLC of predominantly non-squamous histology. The primary study endpoint was overall survival (OS). EGFR and KRas mutations were analyzed in archival tumor samples and in circulating tumor DNA isolated from plasma. Results Tumor and/or plasma mutation data were available from 347 patients (49%). EGFR…
Long‐term efficacy and safety of sonidegib in patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma: 42‐month analysis of the phase II randomized, double‐blind BOLT study
Background: Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) exhibit aberrant activation of the hedgehog pathway. Sonidegib is a hedgehog pathway inhibitor approved for the treatment of locally advanced BCC (laBCC) and metastatic BCC (mBCC) based on primary results of the BOLT study [Basal Cell Carcinoma Outcomes with LDE225 (sonidegib) Treatment]. Objectives: This is the final 42-month analysis of the BOLT study, evaluating the efficacy and safety of sonidegib. Methods: Adults with no prior hedgehog pathway inhibitor therapy were randomized in a 1 : 2 ratio to sonidegib 200 mg or 800 mg once daily. Treatment continued for up to 42 months or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, study termin…
