Efficacy and Safety of Patidegib Gel 2% for Preventing Basal Cell Carcinomas on the Face of Adults With Gorlin Syndrome

October 12, 2025 updated by: Sol-Gel Technologies, Ltd.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double Blind, Vehicle-controlled, Phase 3 Efficacy and Safety Study of Patidegib Gel 2% for the Reduction of Disease Burden of Persistently Developing Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCCs) in Subjects With Gorlin Syndrome

The aim of this clinical study is to find out how well Patidegib Gel 2% works in preventing new basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) developing on the face of adults with Gorlin syndrome, and how safe Patidegib Gel 2% is to use.

People who take part will apply either Patidegib Gel 2% or a Vehicle Gel (with no active drug substance) to their face twice a day for a year (12 months). The number of new BCCs on the face will be compared between those who used Patidegib Gel 2% or Vehicle Gel after 12 months.

Detailed Description

This is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, stratified, vehicle-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of Patidegib Gel 2%, applied topically twice daily to the face of adult subjects with Gorlin syndrome.

Subjects will be randomized (1:1) to receive either Patidegib Gel 2% or Vehicle Gel for 12 months.

The assignment of subjects to the 2 groups will be stratified by sex assigned at birth, age (≥60 or <60 years), and number of BCC lesions at the treatment area (face) (10-15, 16-30 or >30) at Baseline.

All suspicious lesions will be imaged and tracked consistently throughout the study so that new BCCs that arise can be readily identified. New BCCs will be confirmed by dermoscopic analysis through the study. The BCC images will be reviewed and assessed by a Central Photo Review Board (CPRB).
