Sonidegib (INN), sold under the brand name Odomzo, is a medication used to treat cancer.
Sonidegib is a Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitor (via smoothened antagonism).
It is indicated for the treatment of adults with locally advanced basal-cell carcinoma that has recurred following surgery or radiation therapy, or those who are not candidates for surgery or radiation therapy.
Sonidegib binds to and inhibits smoothened to inhibit activation of the Hedgehog pathway. Sonidegib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A and is eliminated hepatically.
It has demonstrated significant efficacy against melanoma in vitro and in vivo. It also demonstrated efficacy in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer.
