Numerous clinical trials have evaluated sonidegib as both monotherapy and combination therapy across Phase 1, Phase 2, combined Phase 1/2, and Phase 4 post-authorization safety studies. These investigations address oncology indications including basal cell carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, recurrent ovarian cancer, advanced solid tumors, and pediatric central nervous system malignancies such as medulloblastoma. Sponsored by pharmaceutical leaders (e.g., Novartis, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries) and academic institutions (e.g., Mayo Clinic, National Cancer Institute), these protocols encompass completed, active, recruiting, and terminated statuses.
