Pharmacology

Indication

Sonidegib is approved for use in the US and EU for treatment of adults with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that has recurred post surgery or radiation therapy. It is also approved for adult patients with BCC who are not eligible for surgery or radiation therapy. (2)

Pharmacodynamics

Sonidegib has been shown to inhibit a transmembrane protein called SMO which plays a role in Hh signal transduction. This has resulted in inhibition of Hh signaling as well as antitumour activity in various animal models. In a transgenic mouse model of islet cell neoplasms, tumour volume was reduce by 95% in mice treated with sonidegib when compared with untreated mice. (2)

Mechanism of action

The hedgehog pathway is involved in many human cancers. Sonidegib effectively inhibits the regulator called smoothened (Smo), preventing the hedgehog pathway from functioning. As a result, tumours that depend on the hedgehog pathway are unable to grow. (1)

Absorption

Sonidegib is rapidly absorbed in the fasted state with peak concentrations occurring 2-4 hours after administration. (2) However, the total absorption of Sonidegib is low (roughly 6-7%). (1)

Volume of distribution

Estimated volume of distribution = 9166 L (2)

Protein binding

Sonidegib is over 97% bound to plasma proteins, and binding is independent of concentration. (2)

Metabolism

Sonidegib is primarily metabolized via oxidation and amide hydrolysis. (1) The enzyme responsible for the majority of metabolism is the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 enzyme. (2)

Route of elimination

Around 70% of Sonidegib is eliminated in the feces, while 30% is eliminated in the urine. (2)

Half-life

Half-life ~ 28 days (2)

Toxicity

Adverse events occurred more frequently with higher doses, 800 mg once daily when compared to a lower dose of 200 mg once daily. In the 200 mg group, frequent adverse events (occurring in ≥2% of patients) included: elevated creatine phosphokinase (6%), increased lipase (5%), muscle spasms (3%), asthenia (3%), and hypertension (3%). In the 800 mg group, frequent adverse events included: elevated creatine phosphokinase (13%), increased lipase (5%), weight loss (5%), muscle spasms (5%), decreased appetite (4%), rhabdomyolysis (3%), nausea (3%), hypertension (3%), increased alanine aminotransferase (3%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (3%), fatigue (2%), syncope (2%), anaemia (2%), dehydration (2%), hyperkalaemia (2%) and myalgia (2%). Rhabdomyolysis cases reported by investigators were not confirmed by the adjudication committee on muscle toxicity or the independent safety review. (2)

DrugInteraction
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Sonidegib can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbataceptThe metabolism of Sonidegib can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AcalabrutinibThe metabolism of Sonidegib can be decreased when combined with Acalabrutinib.
AcetaminophenThe metabolism of Sonidegib can be increased when combined with Acetaminophen.
AcetazolamideThe serum concentration of Sonidegib can be increased when it is combined with Acetazolamide.
Food Interactions
  • Exercise caution with grapefruit products. Grapefruit inhibits the CYP3A metabolism of sonidegib, which may increase its serum concentration.
  • Exercise caution with St. John's Wort. This herb induces the CYP3A metabolism of sonidegib, which may reduce its serum concentration.
  • Take on an empty stomach. Take sonidegib at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating.
