Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
As a prospective intervention study, participants will be allocated into one of the three cohorts of varying treatment duration, in series. This means that Cohort 1 will be filled prior to Cohort 2 and so on.

Allocation into cohorts occurs at Week 0, where all cohorts will begin treatment for their allocated length of time (primary phase). At the end of the primary phase (4, 6 or 8 weeks), all participants will commence the secondary phase of treatment which involves the treatment of three lesions each (12 in total) with surgical excision, cryosurgery, topical Imiquimod (5%) cream and placebo cream.

1) Cohort 1: 4-week treatment with Sonidegib (Odomzo) 200 mg capsules (oral) once daily,
2) Cohort 2: 6-week treatment with Sonidegib (Odomzo) 200 mg capsules (oral) once daily
3) Cohort 3: 8-week treatment with Sonidegib (Odomzo) 200 mg capsules (oral) once daily.

Participants are unable to participate in more than one cohort.

Adherence/Accountability of study medication will involve returning of bottles of medication and counting of the remaining medication.

The treating dermatologist will identify the 12 lesions that will undergo treatment (one of which will be surgical excision). The categorisation of each lesion to be treated with one of the four methods will be at their discretion. They will take into account location of the lesion, discomfort post treatment, standard care procedures etc. Standard care for both excisions and cryosurgery will be followed and performed by the treating dermatologist and relevant clinical staff to support if needed.

The topical Imiquimod (5%) cream and placebo cream will be applied once daily, 5 days per week, for a period of 6 weeks. The creams will be administered by the patients using instructions and guidance provided by the treating dermatologist. Adherence for cream use will be monitored through the weight of the tubes at each visit. The amount of cream needed to cover the lesion will be used (e.g. surface area) and dosage to determine approximate grams of cream to be used per day/week etc.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 321687 0
Assessment of pre-determined tumours (taking into account the presence of any shrinkage) in patients, as reviewed and documented by dermatologist and assessed by Global Clinical Assessment and full body photography (incl. dermatoscopic imaging of target lesions)

Characteristics of the tumours will be assessed by Global Clinical Assessment and usual standard practice.
The Global Clinical Assessment will use the following criteria:
0= No change
1= < 50% decrease in lesion
2= 50-90% decrease in lesion
3= 91-99% decrease in lesion
4= complete disappearance of lesion.
The number of recurrent BCCs will be compared between each primary treatment group and each secondary treatment modality.
Timepoint [1] 321687 0
The primary timepoint is Week 4 (cohort 1), 6 (cohort 2) or 8 (cohort 3).
Primary outcome [2] 321688 0
Assessment of tumours and changes through measurement of lesions, as reviewed and documented by investigator and assessed by Global Clinical Assessment and full body photography (incl. dermatoscopic imaging of target lesions).

Characteristics of the tumours will be assessed by Global Clinical Assessment and usual standard practice.
The Global Clinical Assessment will use the following criteria:
0= No change
1= < 50% decrease in lesion
2= 50-90% decrease in lesion
3= 91-99% decrease in lesion
4= complete disappearance of lesion.
The number of recurrent BCCs will be compared between each primary treatment group and each secondary treatment modality.
Timepoint [2] 321688 0
After cryotherapy of lesions (n=3) at week 4 (cohort 1), 6 (cohort 2), 8 (cohort 3), and topical treatments (Imiquimod or placebo) at timepoints; week 10 (cohort 1), 12 (cohort 2) or 14 (cohort 3); and at the end of the study (Week 52 for all cohorts)."
Secondary outcome [1] 375896 0
Ease of excision of lesions (n=3) following treatment as assessed by dermatologist according to usual standard practice.

(e.g. potential conversion of a difficult to resect laBCC into a more easily resectable BCC as per the judgement and discretion of the treating dermatologist).
Timepoint [1] 375896 0
The secondary timepoint is at the end of the primary phase, at 4 (cohort 1), 6 (cohort 2) or 8 weeks (cohort 3).
Secondary outcome [2] 375897 0
Ease of removal of lesions (n=3, refractory BCC) by cryotherapy (n=3) and topical treatment (Imiquimod, n=3, or placebo n=3) as assessed by dermatologist and following usual standard practice.
Timepoint [2] 375897 0
The secondary timepoint is in 52 weeks for all cohorts.
Secondary outcome [3] 386759 0
Safety and tolerability will be assessed against currently known side-effects profile for long-term treatment with Odomzo (greater or equal to 12 weeks) by patient reported and trained investigator assessment. Additionally, personal medical records (e.g. hospital records) may be consulted in the unlikely chance of a linked serious adverse event.
Timepoint [3] 386759 0
Short term treatment-emergent side effects/adverse events will be assessed at 4 weeks (cohort 1), 6 weeks (cohort 2) and 8 weeks (cohort 3).
