BIO-PTCH1PTCH1 loss-of-function (somatic — sporadic BCC; germline — Gorlin/Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome); activates HH pathway via SMO disinhibitionIA
  • SRC-NCCN-SKIN-2025: Level Category 1 (Supports, Sensitivity/Response)
PTCH1 loss is the primary molecular driver of BCC (~90% of sporadic cases and all Gorlin syndrome-associated BCCs). Loss of PTCH1 function disinhibits SMO, constitutively activating Hedgehog (HH) signaling. Therapeutic implication is identical to SMO-mutant BCC: SMO antagonists (vismodegib, sonidegib) block SMO activity downstream of PTCH1 and restore HH pathway suppression. FDA approvals for vismodegib (2012) and sonidegib (2015) for laBCC/mBCC apply regardless of whether the underlying driver is PTCH1 loss or SMO mutation — clinical eligibility is based solely on disease extent (locally advanced or metastatic) and surgical/radiation suitability, not on molecular testing. Gorlin syndrome (germline PTCH1): same therapeutic approach but radiation therapy is relatively contraindicated (radiation-induced BCC within field). Cemiplimab FDA-approved post-HHI (2021). See BMA-SMO-BCC for full efficacy data (ERIVANCE, BOLT trials) — the PTCH1 and SMO BMA entries share identical therapeutic recommendations; the distinction is clinically relevant for resistance mechanism (secondary SMO mutation in PTCH1-driven BCC after HHI = acquired SMO mutation) and for Gorlin syndrome genetic counseling.vismodegib 150 mg PO QD (see BMA-SMO-BCC for full regimen details)

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-BCC-1L-VISMODEGIB)
  • Do NOT prescribe during pregnancy — severe embryo-fetal toxicity (teratogenicity, Black Box Warning)
  • Do NOT use for BCC amenable to surgery or radiation — systemic therapy only for laBCC/mBCC
  • Do NOT skip pregnancy prevention — two contraceptive methods required throughout + 24 months post-dose in females
  • Do NOT combine with strong P-gp inhibitors without monitoring
Aggressive plan (IND-BCC-1L-SONIDEGIB)
  • Do NOT prescribe for metastatic BCC — FDA approval is laBCC only
  • Do NOT prescribe during pregnancy — Black Box Warning teratogenicity
  • Do NOT ignore CK — monitor if muscle symptoms (rhabdomyolysis risk)
  • Do NOT prescribe without contraception — 20 months post-dose contraception required for females
