Novartis announced that the pivotal trial of the investigational oral compound LDE225 (sonidegib) in advanced basal cell carcinoma met its primary endpoint of demonstrating an objective response rate among patients within six months of treatment. Objective response included complete response (clinically significant tumor response with complete absence of disease) and partial response (clinically significant tumor shrinkage).

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, accounting for more than 80% of non-melanoma skin cancers, and can be highly disfiguring and life-threatening if it grows. Worldwide incidence of basal cell carcinoma is rising by 10% each year due to factors such as an aging population and increased ultraviolet exposure. Although basal cell carcinoma rarely metastasizes, once it does, it can be associated with significant morbidity.

“For people living with advanced basal cell carcinoma there are currently limited treatment options,” said Alessandro Riva, president, Novartis Oncology ad interim and global head, Oncology Development and Medical Affairs. “These results demonstrate the potential for LDE225 to offer a treatment option for this patient population, and we look forward to sharing these data with regulatory authorities worldwide.”

Full study results will be presented at a future scientific meeting.

About the Study

The Phase II, randomized, double-blind BOLT (Basal cell carcinoma Outcomes in LDE225 Trial) study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of two oral dose levels of LDE225 (200 mg and 800 mg) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma[4], which are subtypes of advanced basal cell carcinoma.

The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving an objective response rate, defined as a confirmed complete response and partial response as their best overall response per modified RECIST criteria, within six months of starting treatment with LDE225. Key secondary endpoints of the study included assessing the duration of tumor responseand the rate of complete response. Other secondary endpoints included progression-free survival, time to tumor response and overall surviva

MORE ABOUT SONIDEGIB

Sonidegib (INN) or Erismodegib (USAN), also known as LDE225 is a Hedgehog signalling pathway inhibitor (via smoothened antagonism) being developed as an anticancer agent by Novartis.[1][2] It has been investigated as a potential treatment for:

Pancreatic cancer[3][4][5][6]
Breast cancer[7][8]
Basal cell carcinoma of the skin[9][10][11]
Small cell lung cancer[12]
Medulloblastoma[13][14]
Advanced solid tumours (including ovarian, breast, pancreatic, stomach, oesophageal cancers and glioblastoma multiforme)[15][16][17]
Acute leukaemia[18]
Chronic myeloid leukaemia[19]
Myelofibrosis and Essential thrombocythaemia[20]

NVP-LDE-225, a product candidate developed by Novartis, is in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of medulloblastoma and basal cell carcinoma. Phase II trials are in progress for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory or untreated elderly patients with acute leukemia.

Early clinical trials are ongoing for the oral treatment of advanced solid tumors, for the treatment of myelofibrosis in combination with ruxolitinib and for the treatment of small cell lung cancer. A phase II clinical trial for the treatment of basal cell carcinomas in Gorlin’s syndrome patients with a cream formulation of NVP-LDE-225 was discontinued in 2011 since the formulation did not demonstrate tumor clearance rate sufficient to support further development.

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Massachusetts General Hospital are conducting phase I clinical trials for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer in combination with chemotherapy. In 2009, orphan drug designation was assigned in the E.U. for the treatment of Gorlin syndrome.

It has demonstrated significant efficacy against melanoma in vitro and in vivo.[21] It also demonstrated efficacy in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer.[22]

About LDE225

LDE225 (sonidegib) is an oral, investigational, selective smoothened inhibitor being studied in a variety of cancers. Smoothened (SMO) is a molecule that regulates the hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in stem cell maintenance and tissue repair. LDE225 is currently in clinical development for a variety of diseases including myelofibrosis, leukemia and solid tumors.

Given that LDE225 is an investigational compound, the safety and efficacy profile has not yet been fully established. Access to this investigational compound is available only through carefully controlled and monitored clinical trials. These trials are designed to better understand the potential benefits and risks of the compound. Given the uncertainty of clinical trials, there is no guarantee that LDE225 will ever be commercially available anywhere in the world.

Possibility (LDE225) is effective in medulloblastoma relapsed or refractory hedgehog pathway inhibitor sonidegib has been revealed. That the anti-tumor effect was observed in some patients and tolerability in 1/2 test phase.
