: Hedgehog inhibitors are an alternative treatment option for patients with advanced BCCs not eligible for standard therapies due to lack of efficacy, high recurrence risk, and high-rate morbidity. Sonidegib, an oral smoothened antagonist, has been approved for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma. Several studies and randomized controlled trials have been conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of this new molecule.: The aim of this article is to provide a complete overview on the use of sonidegib for the treatment of advanced BCCs describing the efficacy, safety, and drug tolerability of this drug.: Sonidegib, with a different pharmacokinetics profile from that of the other SMO-inhibitor vismodegib, demonstrated to be an efficacious and well-tolerated treatment in patients with locally advanced BCC. Although several drug-related adverse events have already been described, different strategies should be taken into account to better manage this small molecule while avoiding treatment discontinuation. The use of sonidegib as neoadjuvant therapy or combined with other hedgehog pathway inhibitors targeting different sites and to date, only available for pre-clinical studies, should also be considered.
: 对于由于疗效不佳、高复发风险和高发病率而不适合标准治疗的晚期 BCC 患者,刺猬抑制剂是一种替代治疗选择。口服 smoothened 拮抗剂 sonidegib 已被批准用于治疗局部晚期基底细胞癌的成年患者。为了评估这种新分子的疗效、安全性和耐受性,已经进行了几项研究和随机对照试验。: 本文旨在全面概述 sonidegib 治疗晚期 BCC 的应用,描述该药物的疗效、安全性和药物耐受性。: Sonidegib 的药代动力学特征与其他 SMO 抑制剂 vismodegib 不同,在局部晚期 BCC 患者中表现出疗效和良好的耐受性。尽管已经描述了几种与药物相关的不良反应,但应考虑采取不同的策略来更好地管理这种小分子,同时避免停止治疗。sonidegib 作为新辅助治疗或与针对不同部位的其他刺猬通路抑制剂联合使用也应被考虑,迄今为止,这些抑制剂仅可用于临床前研究。
