Response to treatment
Timepoint [2] 350459 0
This will be monitored at 1, 3 and 6 months following commencement of the treatment drug
Definitions are Partial Response: At least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameter
Complete Response: Disappearance of all target lesions
Stable Disease: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the sum longest diameter since the treatment started
Disease Progression: At least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions

This will be evaluated my measuring target lesions with a 1mm increment ruler and comparing to baseline measurements

Drug Related Side Effects including:
Nausea, Diarrhoea, Constipation, Vomiting, Fatigue, Loss of Appetite, Muscle Spasms, Taste Loss/Distortion, Hair Loss, Amenorrhoea, Abdominal Pain, Dehydration
Timepoint [3] 350460 0
This will be monitored at 1, 3 and 6 months following treatment commencement by taking a complete medical history specifically screening for these side effects and performing relevant physical examinations at these visits

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of oral Vismodegib as an adjuvant treatment in periocular basal cell carcinoma.

Who is it for?

You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult who has been diagnosed with periocular basal cell carcinoma.

Study details

All participants in this study will receive the treatment of Vismodegib once daily. This medication will be subsidised by PBS for participants. Prior to commencing treatment, female participants will require a pregnancy test and a punch biopsy of the tumour will be taken in all cases.

You may require additional blood tests prior to commencing the treatment medication, no additional scans or investigations will be required outside of standard practice for this trial.

It is hoped that this research will demonstrated a reduction in the surface area of skin removed by wide surgical excision following neo-adjuvant use of Vismodegib for periocular basal cell carcinoma and improved surgical outcomes for patients.
