150mg Vismodegib will be taken once a day, daily. Radiation therapy will be started after the patient has completed taking vismodegib for 12 weeks. The patient will take daily vismodegib through the completion of radiation therapy. The patient will receive radiation once a day, Monday through Friday, for 7 weeks. Each radiation treatment may take up to 30 minutes.

Vismodegib will be taken daily for 12 weeks. It should be taken at approximately the same time each day. Patients will be given a supply of vismodegib on Week 1, Day 1 to last until their next study visit. They will be asked to keep a record of each dose of vismodegib you take. After 12 weeks, they will be evaluated again to make sure they are still eligible to participate in the study. If they are eligible to continue, they will continue taking vismodeib daily as before for another 7 weeks while they receive radiation therapy.

Radiation therapy will be started after the patient has finished taking vismodegib for 12 weeks. They will receive radiation once a day, Monday through Friday, for 7 weeks. Each radiation treatment may take up to 30 minutes.

Radiation therapy

Sue Yom, MD

Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery are standard treatments for basal cell carcinoma at most institutions. The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding vismodegib to radiation (chemoradiotherapy) is safe and tolerable. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of combined radiation therapy and vismodegib. This combination may increase the chances of the tumors being destroyed or unable to spread to other parts of the body in people with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

This is a single arm, multi-center Phase II clinical trial to assess the safety and demonstrate the efficacy of a combined modality approach using radiation therapy after induction and concurrently with systemic administration of vismodegib, which may increase the rates of complete response and sustained local control in patients with locally advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)

Phase II Study of Radiation Therapy and Vismodegib for Advanced Head/Neck Basal Cell Carcinoma

A Phase II Study of Radiation Therapy and Vismodegib, for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

The local-regional control rate at 12 months from protocol therapy completion, defined as absence of progressive disease within the irradiated planning tumor volumes (PTV) for patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma in the head and neck.

Estimate of the probability of PFS, with failure defined as any disease recurrence or death due to any cause with each duration measured from the time of first treatment with vismodegib to 12 months after completion of study treatment

Estimate of the probability of OS, with failure defined as any disease recurrence or death due to any cause with each duration measured from the time of first treatment with vismodegib to 12 months after completion of study treatment

The percentage of any adverse events (CTCAE, v. 4.0) assessed to be definitely, probably, or possibly related to vismodegib or its combination with radiation therapy at any point during protocol therapy or during the followup period.

The percentage of patients experiencing Grade 4-5 adverse events classified using CTCAE v.4.1 assessed to be definitely, probably, or possibly related to the induction or concurrent treatment components of the protocol regimen (that is not definitely related to disease progression) at any point during protocol therapy or during the followup period

Feasibility of administering concurrent vismodegib with radiation therapy was assessed by the number of patients discontinuing treatment due to toxicity during the concurrent administration of vismodegib and radiation therapy (\<75% of planned radiation therapy delivered)

Response rate (as per RECIST) of the primary site and regionally involved areas following all treatment components at 3 months after the completion of protocol therapy will be reported as a percentage of the total sample.

Proportion of patients with a decrease of BCC within the irradiated planning tumor volumes (PTV) in patients who complete initial combined therapy, indicating a clinical response to vismodegib and radiation therapy
