Targeted drug vismodegib tested against rare genetic cancers

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have met applicable eligibility criteria in the Master MATCH Protocol EAY131/ NCI-2015-00054 prior to registration to treatment subprotocol * Patients must fulfill all eligibility criteria outlined in section 3.1 of MATCH Master protocol (excluding section 3.1.6) at the time of registration to treatment step (step 1, 3, 5, 7) * Patients must have activating mutations of smoothened (SMO) or deleterious Patched 1 (PTCH1) as determined via the MATCH Master protocol and described in appendix II. See appendix II for information on the smoothened (SMO) or patched 1 (PTCH1) mutations and corresponding levels of evidence * Patient must not have basal cell carcinoma * Patients must have an electrocardiogram (ECG) within 8 weeks prior to treatment assignment and must have NONE of the following cardiac criteria: * No clinically unstable abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG e.g. complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block * No factors that increase the risk of corrected QT (QTc) prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age * Patients with known left ventricular dysfunction must have ECHO or nuclear study (multigated acquisition \[MUGA\] scan or first pass) within 4 weeks prior to registration to treatment and must not have left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< institutional lower limit of normal (LLN). If the LLN is not defined at a site, the LVEF must be \> 50% for the patient to be eligible * Patients must not have known hypersensitivity to GDC-0449 (vismodegib) or compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition * Women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active must agree to use adequate contraception defined as appropriate double barrier method of birth control (such as female use of a diaphragm, intrauterine device (IUD), sponge and spermicide, in addition to the male use of a condom or involve female use of prescribed "birth control pills" or a prescribed birth control implant). Both double barrier contraception and birth control pills or implants must be used for at least one week prior to the start of the study and continue for 24 months after completion of study for women, and 3 months after completion of study for men
