E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
1. Clinical efficacy of patidegib as defined by the percent decrease in greatest diameter of baseline treatment targeted Surgically Eligible basal cell carcinomas (SEBs) after 26 weeks of treatment [SEBs are defined as clinically diagnosed basal cell carcinoma (BCC) 5 mm or greater in diameter on the face excluding the nose and periorbital skin, and 9 mm or greater at sites other than the face].
2. Molecular efficacy of treatment as defined by reduction in the hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway after treatment with patidegib gel 2% or 4% or vehicle applied twice daily for 6 weeks to treatment-targeted SEBs.
3. Safety and tolerability of treatment with patidegib gel 2% or 4% or vehicle applied twice daily for 26 weeks.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. Clinical efficacy of treatment as defined by percent decrease in greatest diameter of baseline central facial SEBs (BCCs 3mm or greater in diameter at Baseline located on the nose or periorbital area).
2. Frequency of new SEBs on the face. (A new SEB is defined as a SEB first noted at a visit after Week 2 and that developed at a site where there was no visible BCC of any size at the Baseline or the Wk 2 visit.)
3. Proportion of non-central facial BCCs that at Baseline and/or Wk 2 visit were less than 5 mm in greatest diameter but by the Week 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, or 26 visit have become greater than 5 mm in greatest diameter.
4. Proportion of baseline treatment targeted SEBs that at the end of 26 wks of treatment are no longer large enough to be classified as SEBs (i.e., that is the proportion of baseline treatment targeted SEBs on the face that become less than 5mm in greatest diameter and non-facial baseline treatment targeted SEBs that become less than 9 mm in greatest diameter). |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
-The subject is from 18 to 85 years of age, inclusive.
- The subject must meet diagnostic criteria for basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) including major criterion #3a plus one additional major criterion or major criterion #3a plus two of the minor criteria outlined below:
Major Criteria:
a. More than 2 histologically confirmed BCCs or one under the age of 20 years
b. Odontogenic keratocysts of the jaw proven by histology
c. Three or more palmar and/or plantar pits
d. Bilamellar calcification of the falx cerebri (if less than 20 years old)
e. Fused, bifid, or markedly splayed ribs.
f. First degree relative with basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS)
g. PTCH1 gene mutation in normal tissue
Minor Criteria
a. Macrocephaly
b. Congenital malformations: cleft lip or palate, frontal bossing, “coarse face”, moderate or severe hypertelorism
c. Skeletal abnormalities: sprengel deformity, marked pectus deformity, or marked syndactyly of the digits
d. Radiological abnormalities: bridging of the sella turcica, vertebral anomalies such as hemivertebrae, fusion or elongation of the vertebral bodies, modeling defects of the hands and feet, or flame shaped lucencies of the hands or feet
e. Ovarian fibroma
f. Medulloblastoma
- The subject must have a history of at least 10 BCC in toto present at baseline and/or treated within 24 months prior to screening.
- The subject has at baseline, a total of at least 5 previously untreated SEBs (greatest diameter 5 mm or greater on the face excluding the nose and periorbital skin, 9 mm or greater on non-facial areas excluding the skin below the knees), as documented clinically by the Investigator at Baseline. Untreated is define as no previous surgical or topical or intralesional drug treatment. Previous treatment with systemically administered drugs more than 6 months prior to baseline is not considered previous treatment as long as there was no clinical evidence of resistance to oral HH (e.g., vismodegib, patidegib, and sonidegib) inhibitors. Baseline treatment targeted SEBs must not exceed a diameter of >2cm. At least one of these tumors must be appropriate for a 2 mm punch biopsy for biomarker analysis and Baseline and Week 6 visits. If a subject has 5 or more facial, excluding periorbital and nasal skin, SEBs at baseline, non-facial SEBs will not be treatment targeted SEBs.

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- The subject is a woman of childbearing potential. This proscription is based on the key role of the HH pathway in embryogenesis, the known preclinical teratogenic effects of systemic cyclopamine, a naturally occurring inhibitor of SMO, and the unknown level of systemic exposure following topical application of patidegib in humans. A female of childbearing potential is a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months.
- The subject has used topical facial products or within 5 cm of a treatment targeted SEB or systemic therapies that might interfere with the evaluation of the study medication during the study. Specifically these include the use of:
a. Topical glucocorticoids 30 days prior to screening
b. Retinoids (e.g., etretinate, isotretinoin, tazarotene, tretinoin, adaplalene) systemically or topically or > 5% of an alphahydroxy acid (e.g., glycolic acid, lactic acid) or 5-fluorouracil or imiquimod (except as topical treatment to discrete BCCs) systemically or topically to the skin during the six months prior to entry.
c. Systemic chemotherapy within one year prior to screening. (Note: field therapy with topically applied treatments can me done as long as they are not applied within 5 cm of a treatment targeted tumor).
d. Known inhibitors of the HH signaling pathway (e.g., vismodegib patidegib, and sonidegib) topically or systemically within 6 months of entry into the study.
- The subject has uncontrolled systemic disease.
- The subject has clinically important history of liver disease, including viral hepatitis, current alcohol abuse, or cirrhosis.
