Skin cancer drug sonidegib under safety watch in Real-World study
NCT ID NCT04066504
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at the long-term safety of the drug sonidegib in 323 adults with a type of skin cancer called locally advanced basal cell carcinoma. Participants took a daily 200 mg pill, and researchers tracked side effects, serious events, and deaths. The goal was to gather real-world safety data, not to test if the drug works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- sonidegib (a drug taken as a daily pill)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study will provide important safety information to help doctors better manage patients on sonidegib.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it does not test if sonidegib works. It only monitors side effects in a real-world setting.
