Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common malignancy in the United States, with more than 5.4 million cases diagnosed annually.1 NMSC is categorized as either basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with BCC occurring at a fourfold to fivefold higher rate than SCC. Standard first-line treatment of BCC usually involves local procedures, such as curettage, electrodessication, surgical excision, or radiation therapy.2 In the most recent data (from 2011), total health care expenditures for cancer treatments in the U.S. were estimated to exceed $88 billion, including $4.8 billion for NMSC.3,4 While the cost of treating NMSC may be a small fraction of the overall cost of cancer therapies, additional factors must be considered. For instance, the rate of BCC is expected to grow as specific populations expand, such as people older than 65 years of age, immunosuppressed patients, and previously treated patients experiencing disease recurrence; this may increase costs.5
Estimates of the rate of locally advanced BCC (laBCC) or metastatic BCC (mBCC) are elusive because of a lack of standardization in staging and reporting requirements, but it has been estimated that laBCC occurs in 1% to 10% of BCC patients, and that mBCC occurs in 0.0028% to 0.5% of BCC patients.6 Patients with mBCC have a median survival of eight months.7 Until recently, only limited treatment options, such as cisplatin, have been available for patients with laBCC or mBCC8; however, the discovery of the key role played by the hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway in tumorigenesis has opened the door for the development of new therapies, such as vismodegib (Erivedge, Genentech).9
Smoothened (SMO), a transmembrane protein, activates the Hh pathway, leading to the production of glioma-associated oncogene transcription factors (GLI1, GLI2, and GLI3). These factors are the final component of the pathway that regulates cellular differentiation, proliferation, and survival.10
In July 2015, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the SMO inhibitor sonidegib (Odomzo, Novartis) for the treatment of adults with laBCC that has recurred after surgery or radiation therapy, or those who are not candidates for surgery or radiation therapy.11,12 Sonidegeb’s key competitor is vismodegib, another SMO inhibitor, which has been used since 2012 to treat patients with laBCC who are not candidates for surgery or radiation and patients with mBCC.13,14 Vismodegib was the first FDA-approved drug for advanced BCC.13
