Efficacy and Safety of Sonic Hedgehog Inhibitors in Basal Cell Carcinomas: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (2009-2022).
    American journal of clinical dermatology, 2023, Volume: 24, Issue:3

    Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin is the most common form of skin cancer in the United States. In life-threatening, advanced BCC, sonic hedgehog inhibitors (SSHis) remain a pre-eminent treatment option for locally advanced BCC and metastatic BCC.. In this updated systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to better characterize the efficacy and safety of SSHis by including final updates from pivotal clinical trials and additional new recent studies.. An electronic database search was performed for articles including clinical trials, prospective case series, and retrospective medical record reviews on human subjects. Overall response rates (ORRs) and complete response rates (CRRs) were the primary outcomes. For safety assessment, the prevalence of the following adverse effects was analyzed: muscle spasms, dysgeusia, alopecia, weight loss, fatigue, nausea, myalgias, vomiting, skin squamous cell carcinoma, increased creatine kinase, diarrhea, decreased appetite, and amenorrhea. Analyses were performed using R statistical software. Data were pooled using linear models with fixed effects meta-analysis for primary analyses, along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and p-values. Intermolecular differences were calculated using Fisher's exact test.. A total of 22 studies (N = 2384 patients) were included in the meta-analysis: 19 studies assessing both efficacy and safety, 2 studies assessing safety only, and 1 study assessing efficacy only. Overall, the pooled ORR for all patients was 64.9% (95% CI 48.2-81.6%), implicating there is at least a partial response (z = 7.60, p < 0.0001) in most patients receiving SSHis. The ORR for vismodegib was 68.5% and 50.1% for sonidegib. The most common adverse effects for vismodegib and sonidegib were muscle spasms (70.5% and 61.0%, respectively), dysgeusia (58.4% and 48.6%, respectively), and alopecia (59.9% and 51.1%, respectively). Patients were likely to experience weight loss (35.1%, p < 0.0001) from vismodegib. Alternatively, patients taking sonidegib experienced more nausea, diarrhea, increased creatine kinase levels, and decreased appetite compared with those receiving vismodegib.. SSHis are an effective treatment for advanced BCC disease. Given the high discontinuation rates, management of patient expectations is warranted for compliance and achieving long-term efficacy. It is essential to stay updated with the latest discoveries on the efficacy and safety of SSHis.

A Review of Hedgehog Inhibitors Sonidegib and Vismodegib for Treatment of Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma.
    Journal of drugs in dermatology : JDD, 2021, 02-01, Volume: 20, Issue:2

    Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignancy in fair-skinned populations. Most cases are successfully treated with surgery, but in advanced BCC—including locally advanced BCC and metastatic BCC—surgery is likely to result in substantial morbidity or unlikely to be effective. In those patients, the systemic Hedgehog inhibitors (HHIs) sonidegib and vismodegib are the only approved pharmacologic treatment option. Although a number of clinical studies highlight the similarities and differences between the two HHIs, no head-to-head clinical comparison is available. Results from the pivotal BOLT and ERIVANCE clinical studies for sonidegib and vismodegib, respectively, demonstrate similar efficacy measured by objective response rate, complete response rate, and histologic tumor subtype. Safety results for both studies are comparable with similar common adverse events reported for muscle spasms, alopecia, and dysgeusia. A notable difference between sonidegib and vismodegib is their respective pharmacokinetic profiles with sonidegib reaching peak concentration in plasma within 2–4 hours of dosing and steady state in plasma achieved by week 17 of treatment, while vismodegib reaches peak plasma concentration approximately 2 days after a single dose and steady state within 21 days of repeated dosing. This review compares efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of sonidegib and vismodegib based on published literature to date.

Characterization and Management of Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitor-Related Adverse Events in Patients With Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma.
    The oncologist, 2016, Volume: 21, Issue:10

    Abnormal activation of hedgehog pathway signaling is a key driver in the pathogenesis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Vismodegib, a first-in-class small-molecule inhibitor of hedgehog pathway signaling, is approved by regulatory authorities for the treatment of adults who have metastatic BCC or locally advanced BCC that has recurred after surgery, or who are not candidates for surgery and who are not candidates for radiation. A second inhibitor, sonidegib, was also recently approved for the same patient group with locally advanced BCC. Adverse events (AEs) commonly observed in hedgehog pathway inhibitor (HPI)-treated patients include muscle spasms, ageusia/dysgeusia, alopecia, weight loss, and asthenia (fatigue). These AEs are thought to be mechanistically related to inhibition of the hedgehog pathway in normal tissue. Although the severity of the majority of AEs associated with HPIs is grade 1-2, the long-term nature of these AEs can lead to decreased quality of life, treatment interruption, and in some cases discontinuation, all of which might affect clinical outcome. The incidence, clinical presentation, putative mechanisms, and management strategies for AEs related to HPIs in advanced BCC are described. These observations represent the first step toward the development of mechanism-based preventive and management strategies. Knowledge of these AEs will allow health care professionals to provide appropriate counseling and supportive care interventions, all of which will contribute to improved quality of life and optimal benefit from therapy.. The hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HPIs) vismodegib and sonidegib represent a therapeutic breakthrough for patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma. However, the nature of the low-grade adverse events (AEs) commonly observed in HPI-treated patients, including muscle spasms, ageusia/dysgeusia, alopecia, weight loss, and fatigue, can impact clinical outcomes as a result of decreased quality of life and treatment discontinuation. The incidence, clinical presentation, putative mechanisms, and management strategies for AEs related to administration of HPIs are described, with the goal of enabling health care professionals to provide appropriate counseling and supportive care interventions to their patients.
