Participant Flow

The study population consisted of patients ≥ 18 years old with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC), either metastatic or locally advanced BCC. Enrollment of patients with locally advanced BCC was limited to 80 of a planned total of 100 patients. Both cohorts received the same vismodegib 150 mg treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 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)

Population: Efficacy-evaluable population: All treated patients for whom the independent pathologist's interpretation of archival tissue or baseline biopsies was consistent with basal cell carcinoma. Number analyzed (n) reflects the number of participants with both baseline and visit data available for a given timepoint.

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.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 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)

Population: Efficacy-evaluable population: All treated patients for whom the independent pathologist's interpretation of archival tissue or baseline biopsies was consistent with basal cell carcinoma.

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.
