Sumario: | Introduction: Locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (LA-BCC) is defined as that BCC in which there is radiological confirmation of invasion of certain neighboring structures in depth and also, usually, a BCC that is of a sufficient size and invasion (although there is no radiological demonstration of deep invasion) in which surgery and radiotherapy are not adequate, are insufficient or are contraindicated to achieve the cure of the tumor, either due to characteristics of the tumor itself or of the patient. Sonidegib is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma that is not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy. Material and methods: This is a retrospective, multicenter and descriptive study in nine centers in Andalusia, Spain. Patients treated with sonidegib for >3 months for locally advanced BCC were included from 1 January 2021 to 1 January 2023. Epidemiological, efficacy and safety data were collected. Results: In the present study, a total of 38 patients were included, with a median age of 76.23 years (range 40–101). Prior treatment was surgery (31.57%; n = 25), radiotherapy (15.78%; n = 6), vismodegib (31.57%; n = 12). Eleven patients had not received prior treatment. LA-BCC were located in the cephalic pole, face or scalp. There was a total response in 9/38 patients (23.7%), partial response in 25/38 patients (65.8%) and no response in 4 patients (10.52%). In 6/34 patients, the dose was reduced to 200 mg every other day until it was discontinued due to adverse effects. The main adverse effects reported were dysgeusia (n = 8), asthenia (n = 8), = 6), muscle spasms (n = 6), alopecia (n = 4) and gastrointestinal intolerance (n = 4). Discussion: Sonidegib is the second iHh authorized for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced BCC who are not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy, based on the results of the phase II clinical trial, BOLT. Sonidegib shows good effectiveness and an acceptable safety profile in routine clinical practice in the sample presented. |
