  • Adequate renal function
  • At least 3 weeks since last chemotherapy, investigational agent, radiation therapy, or major surgical procedure and recovery to pre-treatment baseline or stabilization of all treatment-related toxicities

Exclusion criteria

  • Known, untreated central nervous system (CNS) malignancies or treated brain metastases that are not radiographically stable for ≥ 3 months
  • Active infection requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotics
  • Clinically significant history of liver disease, including cirrhosis, current alcohol abuse, or current known active infection with hepatitis
  • Any medical condition or diagnosis that would likely impair absorption of an orally administered drug (e.g., gastrectomy, ileal bypass, chronic diarrhea, gastroparesis)
  • Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or that may affect the interpretation of the results or renders the patient at high risk from treatment complications

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) at Steady-State for Both Total and Unbound GDC-0449

    Time frame: Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, and 72 on Days 1, 29, 50, and 54 and predose on Days 8, 10, 15, 22, 33, 36, 43, and 57

  2. Number of Participants With Greater Than (>) 50 Percent (%) Decrease in Trough Concentration at Steady State (Css, Trough)

    Time frame: Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, and 72 on Days 1, 29, 50, and 54 and predose on Days 8, 10, 15, 22, 33, 36, 43, and 57

    Percent change = ([trough concentration on Day 15 minus trough concentration on Day 57] divided by trough concentration on Day 15) multiplied by 100.

  3. Ratio of Total and Unbound Trough GDC-0449 Concentration Between Day 57 to Day 15

    Time frame: Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, and 72 on Days 1, 29, 50, and 54 and predose on Days 8, 10, 15, 22, 33, 36, 43, and 57

    Ratio = trough concentration on Day 57 divided by trough concentration on Day 15. If the ratio of total and unbound trough GDC-0449 concentration between Day 57 to Day 15 is less than 1, then it indicates reduction in total and unbound trough GDC-0449 concentration between Day 15 to Day 57.

  4. Plasma Concentration at Steady State (Css) for Total and Unbound GDC-0449

    Time frame: Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, and 72 on Days 1, 29, 50, and 54 and predose on Days 8, 10, 15, 22, 33, 36, 43, and 57

    Plasma GDC-0449 concentrations were reported in nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) units and converted to micromolar (mcM) units using the molecular weight (421.30 grams per mole [g/mol]) prior to PK analysis. Css was calculated for Days 28 to 56.

  5. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Total and Unbound GDC-0449

    Time frame: 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, 72 hours on Day 1, 15 and 57 post-dose

    Plasma GDC-0449 concentrations were reported in ng/mL units and converted to mcM units using the molecular weight (421.30 g/mol) prior to PK analysis.

  6. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to 24 Hour (AUC0-24) for Total and Unbound GDC-0449

    Time frame: Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, and 72 on Days 1, 29, 50, and 54 and predose on Days 8, 10, 15, 22, 33, 36, 43, and 57

    AUC is a measure of the serum concentration of the drug over time. It is used to characterize drug absorption. AUC values were calculated using the linear trapezoidal method when the concentrations were rising and using the logarithmic trapezoidal method when the concentrations were declining (linear up/log down rule in WinNonlin). Below the limit of quantitation (BLQ) values at pre-dose were considered as zero for PK analysis.

  7. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to the Last Measured Concentration (AUClast) for Total and Unbound GDC-0449

    Time frame: Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, and 72 on Days 1, 29, 50, and 54 and predose on Days 8, 10, 15, 22, 33, 36, 43, and 57

    AUC values were calculated using the linear trapezoidal method when the concentrations were rising and using the logarithmic trapezoidal method when the concentrations were declining (linear up/log down rule in WinNonlin). BLQ values at pre-dose were considered as zero for PK analysis.

  8. Time to Achieve Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) After a Single Dose of GDC-0449

    Time frame: 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, 72 hours on Day 1

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death

    Time frame: Screening, Day 57, and every 8 weeks thereafter up to 52 weeks

    Disease progression (assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST]) was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non target lesions.

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Response by Best Overall Response (BOR)

    Time frame: Screening Day 57, and every 8 weeks thereafter up to 52 weeks

    BOR was defined as the best overall response observed during the treatment period according to RECIST. CR: disappearance of all TLs, with any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) having a reduction in short axis to less than 10 mm. PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of TLs, taking as reference the BL sum diameters. Progressive disease (PD): at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of TLs, taking as a reference the smallest sum on study (this included the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase in 20%, the sum must also have demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Stable disease (SD) was defined as neither sufficient shrinkages to qualify for PR, nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.

  3. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Time

    Time frame: Screening Day 57, and every 8 weeks thereafter up to 52 weeks

    PFS defined as the time from study treatment initiation to the first occurrence of disease progression, as determined by the investigator review of tumor assessments using RECIST, or death from any cause during the study (i.e., within 30 days after the last dose of study treatment).

  4. Duration of Response (DR)

    Time frame: Screening Day 57, and every 8 weeks thereafter up to 52 weeks

    DR during first line therapy is defined as the time from when response (complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) was first documented to first documented disease progression or death (whichever occurs first) during first line therapy. This was only be calculated for participants who achieved a best overall response of CR or PR. Participants who did not progress or die after they had a confirmed response were censored at the date of their last tumor measurement or last follow up for progression of disease during first line therapy. CR: disappearance of all target lesions (TLs) with any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) having a reduction in short axis to less than 10 millimeters. PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of TLs, with reference to baseline sum diameters. DR was not calculated as only 1 responding participant reached their response at the last scheduled response assessment, hence follow-up data are not available.
