id="Vismodegib.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Vismodegib is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of the Hedgehog pathway that is used to treat unresectable or metastatic basal cell carcinoma. Vismodegib therapy is associated with a low rate or transient elevations in serum aminotransferase during therapy and has been linked to rare cases of clinically apparent acute liver injury that can be severe and even fatal.</p></div><div id="Vismodegib.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Vismodegib (vis” moe deg’ ib) is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of a key step in the hedgehog signaling pathway (activation of smoothened: SMO). Hedgehog is an important regulator of embryonic development, cell growth and differentiation. Mutations in this pathway have been identified in several malignant diseases including basal cell carcinoma. Clinical trials of vismodegib in patients with metastatic or locally advanced basal cell carcinoma reported at least partial responses in up to half of patients. Vismodegib, the first hedgehog pathway inhibitor, was approved for use in the United States in 2012; sonidegib the second such inhibitor, was approved in 2015. Current indications include metastatic or locally advanced, recurrent, or unresectable basal cell carcinoma. Vismodegib is available in capsules of 150 mg under the brand name Erivedge. The typical dose is 150 mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Side effects are common and often dose limiting, although rarely life threatening. Common side effects include muscle spasms, alopecia, anorexia, dysgeusia, weight loss, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue and arthralgias. Potential serious adverse events include severe weight loss, squamous cell skin cancer, and embryo-fetal toxicity. Vismodegib has a black box warning of fetal and embryonal toxicity with its use and advises screening for pregnancy before starting therapy and use of effective birth control during and for 20 months following treatment.</p></div><div id="Vismodegib.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Most clinical trials of vismodegib included few patients, and rates of liver tests abnormalities were usually not reported. The product label for vismodegib includes no mention serum enzyme elevations or need for monitoring of routine liver tests. In a subsequent review of all published studies of vismodegib, liver enzyme elevations were said to occur in 1.4% of a total of 363 patients treated. Since its approval and more general use, reports of clinically apparent liver injury linked to vismodegib have appeared, and the product label now mentions adverse events of hepatotoxicity and Stevens Johnson syndrome in post marketing reports. In one published report, an elderly man presented with fatigue, nausea, and jaundice 41 days after starting vismodegib with a cholestatic pattern of serum enzyme elevations and rapid improvement on stopping (Case 1). In addition, review of 7 years of spontaneous adverse event reporting to the FDA revealed 94 reports of hepatotoxicity during vismodegib therapy, including 20 that were considered serious and 4 that resulted in hepatic failure. The latency to onset was typically within 2 to 12 weeks of starting vismodegib and the pattern of injury was typically cholestatic, although less commonly hepatocellular. Autoimmune features are not common but in several reports there were features of immune allergic reactions (rash, eosinophilia, fever). Thus, clinically apparent liver injury from vismodegib occurs, but is somewhat rare.</p><p>Likelihood score: B (likely rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Vismodegib.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The cause of liver injury from vismodegib is unknown, but likely due to hypersensitivity. Vismodegib has a prolonged half-life (~19 days) and is metabolized at least in part in the liver via multiple cytochrome P450 enzymes, including CYP 3A4, 2C8, 2C9 and 2C19. While it theoretically should have several drug-drug interactions, there is little clinical data on its effects on other drugs or vice versa.</p></div><div id="Vismodegib.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>In using kinase and small molecule inhibitors for treatment of cancer, monitoring of routine liver tests before starting and at intervals during therapy is warranted. Serum aminotransferase elevations above 5 times the upper limit of normal (if confirmed) or any elevations accompanied by jaundice or symptoms should lead to at least temporary cessation. Restarting vismodegib after cessation for liver test abnormalities should be done with caution, and only after the abnormalities have resolved or improved significantly, and in patients who exhibit a clinical response to the agent. In some cases, use of a lower dose provided continued clinical efficacy without recurrence of the liver test abnormalities. The various protein kinase inhibitors vary greatly in chemical structure and there is little evidence for cross sensitivity to the liver injury.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntineoplasticAgents/?report=reader">Antineoplastic Agents</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/ProteinKinaseInhibit/?report=reader">Protein Kinase Inhibitors</a></p><p>Other Drugs for Basal Cell Carcinoma: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Sonidegib/?report=reader">Sonidegib</a></p></div></div><div id="Vismodegib.CASE_REPORT"><h2 id="_Vismodegib_CASE_REPORT_">CASE REPORT</h2><div id="Vismodegib.Case_1_Cholestatic_hepatitis"><h3>Case 1. Cholestatic hepatitis attributed to vismodegib therapy.(<a class="bibr" href="#Vismodegib.REF.1" rid="Vismodegib.REF.1">1</a>)</h3><p>A 72 year old man with multiple basal cell carcinomas developed worsening nausea, dysgeusia, anorexia, weight loss and muscle cramps followed by appearance of jaundice 5 to 6 weeks after starting vismodegib. He also had a sudden loss of voice, decreased fluid intake and melena without sore throat, fever or rash. He had no history of liver disease or alcohol abuse, and all liver tests had been normal before vismodegib therapy was begun (Table). Medications that he took chronically included tadalafil, amlodipine, and valsartan, and he had recently started naproxen and aspirin because of muscle cramps attributed to vismodegib. On presentation, he was jaundiced and had mild hepatic tenderness. Serum bilirubin was 10.7 mg/dL, ALT 525 U/L, AST 206 U/L, alkaline phosphatase 807 U/L, GGT 550 U/L and INR 1.1. He had a mild increase in serum creatinine (2.2 mg/dL), possibly due to dehydration. Vismodegib was stopped and he was admitted for evaluation and intravenous hydration. Imaging of the liver showed no evidence of gall stones or biliary obstruction. Symptoms and liver test abnormalities began to improve rapidly and two weeks later, jaundice had resolved and liver tests were minimally elevated. Six months later, routine liver tests were all within the normal range.</p><div id="Vismodegib.Key_Points"><h4>Key Points</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figVismodegibTc"><a href="/books/NBK548629/table/Vismodegib.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img" rid-ob="figobVismodegibTc"><img class="small-thumb" src="/corehtml/pmc/css/bookshelf/2.26/img/table-icon.gif" alt="Table Icon" /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Vismodegib.Tc"><a href="/books/NBK548629/table/Vismodegib.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobVismodegibTc">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Vismodegib.Laboratory_Values"><h4>Laboratory Values</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figVismodegibTd"><a href="/books/NBK548629/table/Vismodegib.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img" rid-ob="figobVismodegibTd"><img class="small-thumb" src="/corehtml/pmc/css/bookshelf/2.26/img/table-icon.gif" alt="Table Icon" /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Vismodegib.Td"><a href="/books/NBK548629/table/Vismodegib.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobVismodegibTd">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Vismodegib.Comment"><h4>Comment</h4><p>An elderly man with multiple basal cell carcinomas developed dysgeusia and muscle cramps within a month of starting vismodegib and was found to have mild serum ALT and AST elevations. In the following two weeks, however, he developed worsening symptoms and jaundice and was found to have a cholestatic hepatitis. He had also developed worsening side effects of treatment, dehydration, laryngitis and mild gastrointestinal bleeding. Upon hospital admission and stopping vismodegib he improved rapidly, most liver tests being normal or near normal two weeks later. Information on hepatitis serology, autoantibodies and eosinophil counts was not provided, but immunoallergic features were not present, and the clinical course and outcome were entirely compatible with a drug induced cholestatic hepatitis. While most cases of acute liver injury attributed to kinase inhibitors have been described as hepatocellular, the actual aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase values are often not provided. Even this case might have been considered hepatocellular (ALT 525 U/L) had the other values not been available.</p></div></div></div><div id="Vismodegib.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Vismodegib_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
