Testing GDC-0449 (Vismodegib) as Potentially Targeted Treatment in Cancers With Smoothened or Patched 1 Mutant Tumors (MATCH - Subprotocol T)
United States34 participantsStarted 2016-06-20
Plain-language summary
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well GDC-0449 (vismodegib) works for treating patients with solid tumors, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and who have a smoothened or patched 1 genetic mutation. Vismodegib is a type of medication called a hedgehog signaling pathway antagonist and works by blocks a type of protein involved in tissue growth and repair and may block the growth of cancer cells.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients must have met applicable eligibility criteria in the Master MATCH Protocol EAY131/ NCI-2015-00054 prior to registration to treatment subprotocol
* Patients must fulfill all eligibility criteria outlined in section 3.1 of MATCH Master protocol (excluding section 3.1.6) at the time of registration to treatment step (step 1, 3, 5, 7)
* Patients must have activating mutations of smoothened (SMO) or deleterious Patched 1 (PTCH1) as determined via the MATCH Master protocol and described in appendix II. See appendix II for information on the smoothened (SMO) or patched 1 (PTCH1) mutations and corresponding levels of evidence
* Patient must not have basal cell carcinoma
* Patients must have an electrocardiogram (ECG) within 8 weeks prior to treatment assignment and must have NONE of the following cardiac criteria:
* No clinically unstable abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG e.g. complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block
* No factors that increase the risk of corrected QT (QTc) prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age
* Patients with known left ventricular dysfunction must have ECHO or nuclear study (multigated acquisition \[MUGA\] scan or first pass) within 4 weeks prior to registration to treatment and must not have left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< institutional lower…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Timeframe: Tumor assessments occurred at baseline, then every 2 cycles for the first 26 cycles and every 3 cycles thereafter until disease progression, up to 3 years post registration
