NCT ID NCT05651828

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares four different dosing schedules of the drug vismodegib in people with advanced basal cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if personalized, intermittent dosing works as well as or better than standard continuous dosing while being easier to tolerate. About 34 adults with advanced skin cancer will take the drug at home and be monitored for how long the treatment works and how the tumors respond.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more tolerable and effective way to manage advanced basal cell carcinoma with fewer side effects.
