Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of tazemetostat in treating patients with solid tumors or B-cell lymphomas with liver dysfunction that have spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Tazemetostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

To determine safety, tolerability and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of tazemetostat in patients with varying degrees of hepatic dysfunction.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles of tazemetostat in patients with varying degrees of hepatic dysfunction.
To observe preliminary antitumor activity of tazemetostat in this population, especially in tumors with aberrations in EZH2 or SWI/SNF complex pathways.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.

Patients receive tazemetostat orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of adverse events of tazemetostat in patients with varying degrees of hepatic dysfunction assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 [Up to 2 years]
Frequency and severity of adverse events will be tabulated using counts and proportions detailing frequently occurring, serious and severe events of interest. Adverse events will be summarized using all adverse events experienced, although a sub-analysis may be conducted including only those adverse events in which the treating physician deems possibly, probably or definitely attributable to study treatment.
Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of tazemetostat in patients with varying degrees of hepatic dysfunction [Up to 2 years]
RP2D will be determined.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of tazemetostat in patients with varying degrees of hepatic dysfunction [Up to course 4 day 1 (day 85)]
Plasma concentrations will be measured by Q2 Solutions using a validated Liquid chromatography (LC)/mass spectrometry (MS)/MS assay. Molecular and clinical predictors of clinical outcomes will be investigated using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models. Potential predictors include clinical predictors and molecular correlates. Descriptive statistics and plotting of data will also be used to better understand potential relationships. Given the small sample size, and exploratory nature of these endpoints, all pharmacodynamic analyses conducted will be considered exploratory. All analyses will be considered exploratory and inference will be performed with appropriate caution.
Antitumor activity of tazemetostat [Up to 2 years]
Molecular and clinical predictors of clinical outcomes will be investigated using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models. Potential predictors include clinical predictors and molecular correlates. Descriptive statistics and plotting of data will also be used to better understand potential relationships. All analyses will be considered exploratory and inference will be performed with appropriate caution.
Antitumor activity of tazemetostat in population with tumors with aberrations in EZH2 or SWI/SNF complex pathways [Up to 2 years]
Molecular and clinical predictors of clinical outcomes will be investigated using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models. Potential predictors include clinical predictors and molecular correlates. Descriptive statistics and plotting of data will also be used to better understand potential relationships. All analyses will be considered exploratory and inference will be performed with appropriate caution.
Objective confirmed response [Up to 2 years]
Response will be assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria 1.1
Duration of response [Up to 2 years]
Response will be assessed using the RECIST criteria 1.1.
Best response [Up to 2 years]
Response will be assessed using the RECIST criteria 1.1.

For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for 30 days after tazemetostat discontinuation
A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarchal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (>= 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus)
Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, established, proper use of hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices
Female subjects who use hormonal contraceptives should use an additional barrier method of birth control while on study treatment and for 30 days after discontinuation of study treatment
The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient; periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception
