Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adequate hematopoietic capacity
• Adequate renal function
• Adequate hepatic function
• At least 3 weeks since the patient's last chemotherapy, investigational agent, radiation therapy, or major surgical procedure and recovery to pre-treatment baseline or stabilization of all treatment-related toxicities

Exclusion Criteria:

• Active infection requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotics
• Clinically important history of liver disease significantly impairing hepatic function, including active viral or other hepatitis, current alcohol abuse, or cirrhosis
• Any medical condition or diagnosis that would likely impair absorption of an orally administered drug
• Pregnant or lactating
• Treatment with excluded medications, including strong CYP450 inhibitors and inducers, within 2 weeks of study entry
• Male patients already receiving rosiglitazone
• Male patients with a known contraindication to rosiglitazone
• Female patients already receiving oral contraception < 14 days prior to Day 1
• Female patients with known contraindication to oral contraceptions

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Vismodegib + rosiglitazone; Participants received rosiglitazone 4 mg orally on Days 1 and 8 of the study. Participants also received vismodegib 150 mg orally once a day beginning on Day 2 until one of the following occurred; disease progression, intolerable toxicity, most probably attributable to vismodegib, or patient withdrawal of consent.	Drug: Vismodegib; Vismodegib was supplied in hard gelatin capsules.; Other Names: GDC-0449; Drug: Rosiglitazone; Rosiglitazone was supplied in tablets.
Experimental: Vismodegib + oral contraceptive; Participants received the oral contraceptive norethindrone 1 mg/ethinyl estradiol 35 µg (Ortho-Novum 1/35®) orally on Days 1 and 8 of the study. Participants also received vismodegib 150 mg orally once a day beginning on Day 2 until one of the following occurred; disease progression, intolerable toxicity, most probably attributable to vismodegib, or patient withdrawal of consent.	Drug: Vismodegib; Vismodegib was supplied in hard gelatin capsules.; Other Names: GDC-0449; Drug: Norethindrone/ethinyl estradiol; Norethindrone/ethinyl estradiol was supplied in tablets.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Geometric Mean Ratio of the Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From 0 to Infinity (AUC[0-inf]) of Rosiglitazone	On Days 1 and 8, blood samples were taken prior to the administration of rosiglitazone and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours, between 8 and 12 hours, and 24 hours post-dose. Plasma concentrations of rosiglitazone were determined using a validated liquid chromatography mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS) assay. Individual and mean plasma rosiglitazone concentration versus time data were tabulated and plotted by analyte. The pharmacokinetic parameters of each analyte were calculated using standard non-compartmental methods (WinNonlin version 5.2.1, Pharsight Corp., Mountain View, CA). The geometric mean ratio of AUC(0-inf) of rosiglitazone was defined as the AUC(0-inf) of rosiglitazone on Day 8/AUC(0-inf) of rosiglitazone on Day 1.	Pre-dose and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours, between 8 and 12 hours, and 24 hours post-dose
Geometric Mean Ratio of the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Rosiglitazone	On Days 1 and 8, blood samples were taken prior to the administration of rosiglitazone and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours, between 8 and 12 hours, and 24 hours post-dose. Plasma concentrations of rosiglitazone were determined using a validated liquid chromatography mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS) assay. Individual and mean plasma rosiglitazone concentration versus time data were tabulated and plotted by analyte. The pharmacokinetic parameters of each analyte were calculated using standard non-compartmental methods (WinNonlin version 5.2.1, Pharsight Corp., Mountain View, CA). The geometric mean ratio of Cmax of rosiglitazone was defined as the Cmax of rosiglitazone on Day 8/ Cmax of rosiglitazone on Day 1.	Pre-dose and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours, between 8 and 12 hours, and 24 hours post-dose
Geometric Mean Ratio of the Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From 0 to Infinity (AUC[0-inf]) of Ethinyl Estradiol and Norethindrone	On Days 1 and 8, blood samples were taken prior to the administration of the contraceptive norethindrone 1 mg/ethinyl estradiol 35 µg (Ortho-Novum 1/35®) and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours, between 8 and 12 hours, and 24 hours post-dose. Plasma concentrations of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone were determined using a validated liquid chromatography mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS) assay. Individual and mean plasma ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone concentration versus time data were tabulated and plotted by analyte. The pharmacokinetic parameters of each analyte were calculated using standard non-compartmental methods (WinNonlin version 5.2.1, Pharsight Corp., Mountain View, CA). The geometric mean ratios of AUC(0-inf) of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone were defined as the ratios of AUC(0-inf) of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone on Day 8 divided by AUC(0-inf) of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone on Day 1, respectively.	Pre-dose and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours, between 8 and 12 hours, and 24 hours post-dose
Geometric Mean Ratio of the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Ethinyl Estradiol and Norethindrone	On Days 1 and 8, blood samples were taken prior to the administration of the contraceptive norethindrone 1 mg/ethinyl estradiol 35 µg (Ortho-Novum 1/35®) and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours, between 8 and 12 hours, and 24 hours post-dose. Plasma concentrations of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone were determined using a validated liquid chromatography mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS) assay. Individual and mean plasma ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone concentration versus time data were tabulated and plotted by analyte. The pharmacokinetic parameters of each analyte were calculated using standard non-compartmental methods (WinNonlin version 5.2.1, Pharsight Corp., Mountain View, CA). The geometric mean ratios of Cmax of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone were defined as the ratios of Cmax of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone on Day 8 divided by Cmax of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone on Day 1, respectively.	Pre-dose and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours, between 8 and 12 hours, and 24 hours post-dose
