Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of combining the EZH2 inhibitor tazemetostat with rituximab in R/R FL subjects previously treated with at least 2 standard prior systemic treatment regimens where at least 1 anti-CD20-based regimen was used.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is a phase 2, multicenter, open-label study of oral tazemetostat in combination with rituximab in subjects with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tazemetostat in combination with rituximab in subjects previously treated with at least 2 standard prior systemic treatment regimens where at least 1 anti-CD20-based regimen was used, and used and features early futility stopping to maintain subject safety.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Tazmetostat in combination with rituximab

Tazemetostat 800 mg BID is administered daily starting on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1). Tazemetostat will be administered from C1D1 to the end of Cycle 24, for 24 months of therapy or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Rituximab will be administered by either subcutaneous injection or IV infusion according to the regional product prescribing information, labeling and institutional guidelines. Rituximab will be administered at a dose of 375 mg/m2 on Day 1, 8, 15, and 22 of Cycle 1, and then on Day 1 of Cycles 3 through 6, accounting for an additional 4 doses, i.e., a total of 8 doses of rituximab in 6 cycles.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Objective Response Rate [Assessed by Investigator and blinded independent review committee (IRC) at the following time points: Cycle 3, Cycle 6, Cycle 12, Cycle 18, and Cycle 24. Each cycle is 28 days.]

      Assess the objective response rate (ORR; complete response + partial response [CR + PR]), according to 2014 Lugano Classification, of Tazemetostat, in combination with Rituximab in subjects with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma and with wild-type (WT) EZH2 mutation status.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Adverse events collected from time of signing informed consent to either 30 days after last dose of study drug or initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurs first]

      Evaluate safety of the combination of Tazemetostat and Rituximab by assessing incidence of adverse events (AEs)/serious adverse events (SAEs), events leading to discontinuation of study treatment or death, and change of vital signs, lab results, and physical exam findings from baseline. Outcome measured according to National Cancer (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.

    2. Progression Free Survival [From first dose of study drug to earliest date of disease progression or death as assessed up to 24 months by an IRC]

      Estimate the median progression-free survival (PFS), per 2014 Lugano Classification, of Tazemetostat in combination with Rituximab at 2 years in subjects with R/R follicular lymphoma and WT EZH2 mutation status, and in the pooled group regardless of mutation status.

    3. Duration of Response [From earliest date of CR or PR to documented progression or death as assessed up to 24 months by an IRC]

      Estimate the duration of response (DOR).) per 2014 Lugano Classification.

    4. Response Rate in a subset of subjects with mutant (MT) EZH2 [Assessed at the following timepoints: Cycle 3, Cycle 6, Cycle 12, Cycle 18, and Cycle 24. Each cycle is 28 days.]

      Assess the ORR, according to 2014 Lugano Classification, in the pooled group regardless of mutation status and in a subset of subjects with MT EZH2.

    5. Response rate in rituximab refractory subjects [Assessed at the following timepoints: Cycle 3, Cycle 6, Cycle 12, Cycle 18, and Cycle 24. Each cycle is 28 days.]

      Assess the ORR, according to 2014 Lugano Classification, in rituximab refractory subjects.
