Individuals with RDEB are predisposed to develop highly aggressive cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) which are the most common cause of premature death. There is a lack of effective prevention or treatment options for patients with RDEB-SCC. Objectives To evaluate the antitumour activity and safety of the polo-like kinase-1 (PLK1) inhibitor, rigosertib, two investigator-initiated open-label, single-arm phase II studies were opened in Europe and the USA and enrolled five patients with RDEB diagnosed with locally advanced and/or metastatic SCCs whose disease had not previously responded successfully to standard care. Methods Using a common protocol, patients were offered either oral or intravenous (IV) administration of rigosertib with consultation from the treating physician. Patients were monitored with clinical photography, biopsy, positron emission tomography/computed tomography scans and quality of life (QoL) questionnaires over the 12-month duration of the trial. The pharmacokinetics of drug absorption was monitored in four patients. Results Antitumour efficacy with acceptable toxicity was seen in patients on IV or oral therapy and two patients had a complete response within 6 months of treatment. Their QoL was not negatively impacted by treatment and drug absorption exceeded that seen in previous patient populations presumably due to the relatively high dosing in a cohort of underweight patients. Conclusions These data identify rigosertib as a promising drug therapy for patients with RDEB-SCC where there is a substantial unmet need, absence of approved therapies and where tumours arise on a background of a unique fibrotic and inflammatory environment characterized by germline mutations in COL7A1 that promote the development of homogenous primary tumours with aberrant PLK1 activity.

Treatment showed anti-tumor activity with acceptable toxicity, quality of life was not negatively affected, and drug absorption exceeded prior populations.","limitations":"Extremely small sample (n=5) and uncontrolled, open-label design without a comparator. Heterogeneous administration (oral vs IV), and pharmacokinetics were assessed in only four patients.","practice_takeaway":"Rigosertib produced signals of efficacy with tolerable safety in RDEB-associated advanced/metastatic cutaneous SCC after standard care failure, including two complete responses by six months.
