Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Patients with a cytologically or histologically confirmed locally advanced basal cell carcinoma. (Nodal involvement permitted)

• Female patients must agree not to become pregnant or donate lactation during treatment and until 24 months after stop of treatment. Male patients must use condoms at all times, even after a vasectomy, during sexual intercourse with female partners of reproductive potential during treatment with vismodegib and for 3 months after the last dose to avoid exposing a pregnant partner and unborn fetus to vismodegib. Male patients must agree not to donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after discontinuation of vismodegib.

Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, must have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification.
• Previous malignancy is not an exclusion provided that the other malignancy is considered under control, patient is not on concomitant anti-cancer drug therapy, and target lesions from melanoma are clearly defined for response assessment.
• Inability or unwillingness to swallow capsules.
