Images in Immunotherapy and Precision Oncology: Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, J Immunother Precis Oncol)
However, targeted therapies such as sonidegib and vismodegib - sonic hedgehog pathway inhibitors - have emerged that have been approved for treating BCC, as have anti-PD1 immunotherapies, such as cemiplimab, with their success likely based on the high tumor mutational burden seen in some of these tumors. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors also serve a role in treating this condition as well. Molecular studies on metastatic/advanced BCC and other rare malignancies may inform treatment therapeutic decisions.

Alterations of ceramide synthesis induce PD-L1 internalization and signaling to regulate tumor metastasis and immunotherapy response. (PubMed, Cell Rep)
While mammary tumors developed in MMTV-PyMT/CerS4-/- were highly metastatic, targeting the Shh/PD-L1 axis using sonidegib and anti-PD-L1 antibody vastly decreased tumor growth and metastasis, consistent with the inhibition of PD-L1 internalization and Shh/Wnt signaling, restoring anti-tumor immune response. These data, validated in clinical samples and databases, provide a mechanism-based therapeutic strategy to improve immunotherapy responses in metastatic TNBCs.

Alopecia due to chemotherapeutics, hedgehog inhibitors, targeted antibody therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors : Pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnostics and prophylaxis (PubMed, Dermatologie (Heidelb))
Chemotherapy-induced hair loss (CIA) occurs in up to 65% of cases. Anagen effluvium is observed as early as 1-3 weeks after the start of treatment and is reversible in most cases. Alopecia associated with inhibitors of the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway (HHIA) such as vismodegib or sonidegib are observed in up to 60% of cases. They are characterized by telogen effluvium. BRAF or immune checkpoint inhibitors lead significantly less frequently to alopecia (BRAFA, CPIA). According to taxane-based chemotherapy protocols, scalp cooling can help to prevent higher-grade CIA. If CIA or other forms of alopecia are expected, early contact with self-help organizations and early prescriptions for wigs should be offered.

Plasma ctDNA Monitoring of a PTCH1-Mutant Metastatic Adult Medulloblastoma Showing a Durable Benefit With Vismodegib. (PubMed, Oncologist)
Several small studies demonstrate objective but short-lived responses to SMO inhibitors such as vismodegib or sonidegib. We present the case of a 26-year-old patient with a recurrent MB, in which next-generation sequencing (FoundationOne CDx) revealed a mutation in PTCH1, allowing the patient to be treated with vismodegib in second line, resulting in a durable benefit lasting for 1 year. Using an in-house digital PCR probe, the PTCH1 mutation could be tracked in ctDNA during treatment with first-line chemotherapy and while on treatment with vismodegib, demonstrating a precise correlation with the radiological and clinical behavior of the disease.

Dynamic optical coherence tomography evaluation in locally advanced basal cell carcinoma during sonidegib treatment. (PubMed, J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol)
Sonidegib can be considered an effective treatment option in cases where surgery or radiotherapy would be unfeasible or has previously failed, although pigmented lesions did not show complete clearance, suggesting that there are factors other than the SHH pathway involved in tumour growth. Videodermoscopy and D-OCT were useful in the quick and seamless follow-up of lesions and added valuable information in assessing efficacy.

Ligand-dependent hedgehog signaling maintains an undifferentiated, malignant osteosarcoma phenotype. (PubMed, Oncogene)
Finally, we demonstrate that the SMO antagonist sonidegib (LDE225) induces growth arrest and terminal differentiation in vivo in osteosarcomas that express primary cilia and Hh ligand combined with mutations in TP53. These results provide a mechanistic framework for aberrant Hh signaling in osteosarcoma based on defining mutations in the tumor suppressor, TP53.

Signaling Pathways and Therapeutic Strategies in Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cells)
The discovery of mutations in the Hh signaling pathway has paved the way for the development of Hh pathway inhibiting agents, such as vismodegib and sonidegib, which have represented a breakthrough in the aBCC management. However, the use of these agents is limited by the frequent occurrence of adverse events or the development of drug resistance. In this review, we thoroughly describe the current knowledge regarding the available options for the pharmacological management of aBCCs and provide a forward-looking update on novel therapeutic strategies that could enrich the therapeutic armamentarium of BCC in the near future.

Inhibiting the SHH pathway and PARP1 in combination enhances the radiation sensitivity of pediatric sonic hedgehog medulloblastoma (SNO 2023)
We found that in vitro treatment with Sonidegib, GANT61, and Veliparib alone and in combination with was sufficient to significantly decrease tumor cell viability and self-renewal as measured by clonogenic survival assays (p < 0.01). 24 hours following these targeted treatments, 2 Gy of radiation was administered which resulted in a greater degree of decreased cell viability and self-renewal (p < 0.01), as well as in increased cell death. Together, this data suggests that inhibition of Smo, Gli1, and PARP1 either alone as single agents, or in combination is a promising therapeutic strategy for increasing the radiation sensitivity of pediatric SHH medulloblastoma.

Integrated PK/PD modeling relates Smoothened inhibitor biomarkers to the heterogeneous intratumor disposition of cetuximab in pancreatic cancer tumor models. (PubMed, J Pharm Sci)
A minimal, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (mPBPK) model was constructed to link sHHi effects upon mechanistic effectors of tumor barrier compromise with the intratumor distribution of CTX, and CTX occupancy of EGFR in tumors. Integration of the mPBPK model of mAb deposition and intratumor distribution with the PK/PD model of tumor responses to priming not only identified physiological parameters that are critical for tumor antibody distribution, but also provides insight into dosing regimens that could achieve maximal tumor disposition of therapeutic antibodies under conditions of transient PDAC tumor permeability barrier compromise that mechanistically-diverse tumor priming strategies may achieve.

Surgery after sonidegib treatment achieves complete response in locally advanced basal cell carcinoma of the face. (PubMed, J Dermatol)
Vismodegib as a neoadjuvant treatment before surgery has been investigated in a single, multicentre, open-label, phase II trial (VISMONEO); however, sonidegib has not yet been evaluated in this setting. We report the cases of two patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma of the face who achieved complete remission with sonidegib followed by a more limited surgical excision than would have been needed without target therapy.

European consensus-based interdisciplinary guideline for diagnosis and treatment of basal cell carcinoma-update 2023. (PubMed, Eur J Cancer)
Hedgehog inhibitors (HHIs), vismodegib or sonidegib, should be offered to patients with locally advanced and metastatic BCC. Immunotherapy with anti-PD1 antibodies (cemiplimab) is a second-line treatment in patients with a progression of disease, contraindication, or intolerance to HHI therapy...In Gorlin patients, regular skin examinations are required to diagnose and treat BCCs at an early stage. Long-term follow-up is recommended in patients with high-risk BCC, multiple BCCs, and Gorlin syndrome.

For a primary superficial BCC < 0.5 cm arising on Area M, the cost-conscious algorithm prioritizes C&E or cryosurgery. For a primary nodular BCC 1.1-2 cm arising on Area L, the cost-conscious algorithm prioritizes C&E, cryosurgery, or 5-FU. For a giant BCC, the cost-conscious algorithm identifies superficial radiation therapy as first line.

Long-term strategies for management of advanced basal cell carcinoma with hedgehog inhibitors. (PubMed, Crit Rev Oncol Hematol)
The hedgehog inhibitors sonidegib and vismodegib are first-line treatments for advanced BCC with a long-lasting response, but long-term treatment with hedgehog inhibitors is often challenged by tolerability issues. However, several strategies for adverse effect management are available, such as dose interruptions, on-label alternate-day dosing and supportive medications. In conclusion, although BCC shows a high tumor mutational burden that favors a response to immunotherapy, experts recommend keeping patients on hedgehog inhibitors limiting immunotherapy to those who developed resistance during hedgehog inhibitor therapy or in case of persisting toxicity despite long-term management of adverse events.
