Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Oral Vismodegib in Various Histologic Subtypes

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Basal Cell Carcinoma

In brief

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of oral vismodegib therapy in the treatment of different 'histologic subtypes' of basal cell skin cancer (BCC). The term 'histologic subtype' refers to how the cells and tumor tissue looks under the microscope. Three different 'histologic subtypes' of basal cell skin cancer (infiltrative/morpheaform, nodular and superficial) will be examined in this study.

You may not qualify if…

• Women who are pregnant, lactating, or planning pregnancy while in the study
• History of prior treatment with vismodegib or any Hh Pathway Inhibitor
• Evidence of clinically significant and unstable diseases or conditions; Subjects with clinically stable chronic medical conditions will be allowed to enter the study
