A Study of Vismodegib (GDC-0449) in Patients Treated With Vismodegib in a Previous Genentech-sponsored Phase I or II Cancer Study

April 17, 2026 updated by: Genentech, Inc.

An Open-Label, Multicenter Extension Study of GDC-0449 (Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitor) in Patients Treated With GDC-0449 in a Previous Genentech-sponsored Phase I or Phase II Cancer Study

This was a multicenter, open-label extension study. Patients who received vismodegib (GDC-0449) in a Genentech-sponsored study and who had completed the parent study or who continued to receive vismodegib at the time the parent study closed were eligible for continued treatment in this protocol.

Description

This study only enrolled participants who took part in previous studies of vismodegib conducted by Genentech.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Completed vismodegib treatment within 2-4 weeks in a Genentech-sponsored parent study or continued to receive vismodegib at the time the Genentech-sponsored parent study closed.
  • Expectation by the investigator that the participant may continue to benefit from additional vismodegib treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Intervening anti-tumor therapy not specified in the parent study (ie, non-protocol-specified chemotherapy, other targeted therapy, radiation therapy, or photodynamic therapy).

  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Vismodegib 150 mg
Participants received 150 mg vismodegib orally once a day until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study. If a participant had been receiving combination chemotherapy and/or biotherapy (FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, bevacizumab) in a parent study, the same combination chemotherapy and/or biotherapy as specified in the parent study could be continued in this study at the discretion of the investigator.
Vismodegib was supplied in capsules.
Other Names:
  • Erivedge
  • GDC-0449
  • RO5450815
FOLFOX (folinic acid [FOL, leucovorin], fluorouracil [F, 5-FU], and oxaliplatin [OX]) was supplied as solutions for intravenous administration.
FOLFIRI (folinic acid [FOL, leucovorin], fluorouracil [F, 5-FU], and irinotecan [IRI]) was supplied as solutions for intravenous administration.
Bevacizumab was supplied as a solution for intravenous administration.
Other Names:
  • Avastin

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Incidence of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event
Time Frame: From first dose of study treatment until 30 days following the last administration of study treatment (median [range] of treatment exposure: 397 [26 to 1493] days)
From first dose of study treatment until 30 days following the last administration of study treatment (median [range] of treatment exposure: 397 [26 to 1493] days)
Incidence of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to an Adverse Event
Time Frame: From first dose of study treatment until 30 days following the last administration of study treatment (median [range] of treatment exposure: 397 [26 to 1493] days)
From first dose of study treatment until 30 days following the last administration of study treatment (median [range] of treatment exposure: 397 [26 to 1493] days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of All Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events by Highest Severity Grade According to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 3.0
Time Frame: From first dose of study treatment until 30 days following the last administration of study treatment (median [range] of treatment exposure: 397 [26 to 1493] days)
The investigator used the adverse event (AE) grading (severity) scale found in the NCI CTCAE v3.0 to assess AE severity, with grades ranging from 1 to 5 having the following descriptions: Grade 1 is mild, Grade 2 is moderate, Grade 3 is severe, Grade 4 is very severe, life threatening or disabling, and Grade 5 is death related to AE.
From first dose of study treatment until 30 days following the last administration of study treatment (median [range] of treatment exposure: 397 [26 to 1493] days)
