Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Oral LDE225 in Treatment of Patients With Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS) (NCT NCT01350115)

NCT ID: NCT01350115

Last Updated: 2015-10-19

Results Overview

The clinical response of the main target (and secondary target, as appropriate) BCC(s) to treatment was evaluated using the following 6-point scale comparing the assessment at the visit to the clinical presentation at Baseline: 0 = Worsening, 1 = No change, 2 = Slight clearance (1-25% improvement), 3 = Moderate clearance (26-75% improvement), 4 = Marked clearance (76-99% improvement),5 = Complete clearance (100% improvement) Complete clearance was defined as no clinical residual signs of carcinoma, as evaluated by the Investigator at a post-Baseline visit, with the exception of post-inflammatory changes such as minimal residual erythema or residual hyper-pigmentation or hypo-pigmentation or residual scarring.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 113

Population: All participants, who had evaluable (or complete) pharmacodynamic (PD) or biomarker parameter data and were without protocol deviations with significant impact on the PD data, were included in the PD analysis set.

The clinical response of the main target (and secondary target, as appropriate) BCC(s) to treatment was evaluated using the following 6-point scale comparing the assessment at the visit to the clinical presentation at Baseline: 0 = Worsening, 1 = No change, 2 = Slight clearance (1-25% improvement), 3 = Moderate clearance (26-75% improvement), 4 = Marked clearance (76-99% improvement),5 = Complete clearance (100% improvement) Complete clearance was defined as no clinical residual signs of carcinoma, as evaluated by the Investigator at a post-Baseline visit, with the exception of post-inflammatory changes such as minimal residual erythema or residual hyper-pigmentation or hypo-pigmentation or residual scarring.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: day 113

Population: All participants, who had evaluable (or complete) pharmacodynamic (PD) or biomarker parameter data and were without protocol deviations with significant impact on the PD data, were included in the PD analysis set.

The main (and secondary, if appropriate) target BCC tumor area(s) was/were excised surgically and sent to a central laboratory for histological examination.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, day 85, and day 113

Population: All participants, who had evaluable (or complete) pharmacodynamic (PD) or biomarker parameter data and were without protocol deviations with significant impact on the PD data, were included in the PD analysis set.

BCC tumor counts were performed separately for five body regions: head and neck, trunk back, trunk front (including axillae and groin), upper extremities and lower extremities (including buttocks). During the counting, the BCC tumors, were categorized upon inspection by their longest diameter measurement (\<10 mm, 10-19 mm, 20-29 mm, and \>+30mm), and also by the type of BCC (superficial, nodular, other). The counts for all of the BCC type and size categories were determined (or estimated if many small lesions) for each body region. The body region counts were summated to provide the overall BCC tumor count.
