Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, 2-part, single-arm, 2-stage study of tazemetostat 800 mg two times a day (BID) administered orally. Screening of subjects to determine eligibility for the study will be performed within 21 days of the first planned dose of tazemetostat.

In Part 1: planned to enroll 12 subjects with relapsed or refractory malignant mesothelioma regardless of BAP1 status will be treated and undergo pharmacokinetics (PK) blood sample collection after a single tazemetostat 800 mg.

Part 2 plans to include 55 subjects with BAP1-deficient relapsed or refractory malignant mesothelioma.

Treatment with tazemetostat will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study. Response assessment will be evaluated after 6 weeks of treatment and then every 12 weeks thereafter while on study.

      Results from assessing the half-life of Tazemetostat and its metabolite shown below

    6. Part 2: To Assess Disease Control Rate (DCR) Defined as Number of Subjects With Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) and Stable Disease (SD) [The patients were assessed for DCR for up to 24 weeks]

      Overall, the disease control rate (DCR) (calculated as subjects with CR + subjects with PR + subjects with SD at 12 weeks in duration), and the DCR at 24 weeks.

    7. Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability [From the first dose of study treatment until the earlier of either 30 days after the discontinuation of study treatment or until the initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy.]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Part 1 and 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR; Complete Response + Partial Response [CR + PR]) [Assessed every 6 weeks for duration of study participation which is estimated to be 12 months]

      ORR (confirmed CR+PR) to tazemetostat in subjects with relapsed/refractory malignant mesothelioma using disease-appropriate standardized response criteria (modified RECIST or RECIST 1.1)

    2. Progression-free Survival (PFS) [The patients were assessed for PFS for up to 24 weeks]

      Progression-Free Survival is defined as the interval of time between the date of the first dose of study drug and the earliest date of disease progression or death due to any cause. PFS was analyzed and listed for the ITT population. PFS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    3. Part 1 and 2: Overall Survival (OS) [The patients were assessed for PFS for up to 24 weeks]

      OS was analyzed and listed for the ITT population. Subjects who have not died were censored at the date of last contact which was identified from a visit date, study assessment (physical examination, vital signs, ECOG performance status, electrocardiogram [ECG], study drug record, radiological evaluation), AE, medication, or disposition information. OS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. OS at 12 and 24 weeks along with the associated 2-sided 95% CIs were provided. Median OS, first and third quartiles and associated 95% 2-sided CIs were provided.

    4. Part 1 and 2: To Evaluate the Duration of Response (DOR) in Subjects With Confirmed CR or PR [Every 6 weeks up to disease progression or start of new anti-cancer therapy assessed for up to 12 months]

      DOR was calculated for subjects with a confirmed CR or PR. DOR is defined as the time from the date of the initial response (CR/PR) to the date of first documented PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. DOR censoring rules followed those of the PFS analysis defined in the SAP. DOR was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier methods and the median DOR, first quartile, and third quartile was presented. The associated 2- sided 95% CIs was estimated.

    5. Part 1: To Assess Disease Control Rate (DCR) Defined as Number of Subjects With Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) and Stable Disease (SD) [The patients were assessed for DCR for up to 24 weeks]

      Overall, the disease control rate (DCR) (calculated as subjects with CR + subjects with PR + subjects with SD at 12 weeks in duration), and the DCR at 24 weeks.

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details Study EZH-203 was conducted at 16 clinical sites in France, UK, and USA. Subjects were screened for eligibility within 21 days of the planned date of the first dose of tazemetostat. Eligible subjects were enrolled into 2 different parts: Part 1 - Subjects with relapsed or refractory malignant mesothelioma regardless of BAP1 status Part 2 - Subjects with relapsed or refractory BAP1-deficient malignant mesothelioma.
    Pre-assignment Detail Seventy-four subjects were enrolled and treated with study drug (13 subjects in Part 1 and 61 subjects in Part 2). No patients were excluded due to unmet study eligibility criteria.
    Arm/Group Title Part 1 (Pharmacokinetics) Part 2 (Efficacy)
    Arm/Group Description Subjects with relapsed or refractory malignant mesothelioma regardless of BAP1 status were to be treated and PK blood samples collected after a single tazemetostat 800 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 1 and after repeated twice daily doses of tazemetostat 800 mg on Cycle 1 Day 15. Subjects were to receive a single oral 800 mg tazemetostat dose on Cycle 1 Day 1. Starting on Cycle 1 Day 2, tazemetostat was orally administered at a dose of 800 mg twice daily. subjects with BAP1-deficient relapsed or refractory malignant mesothelioma were to receive orally administered tazemetostat 800 mg twice daily starting on Cycle 1 Day 1.

    Arm/Group Title Part 1 (Pharmacokenitc) Part 2 (Efficacy) Total
    Arm/Group Description Subjects enrolled in Part 1were to receive a single 800 mg tazemetostat dose on Cycle 1 Day 1. Starting on Cycle 1 Day 2, tazemetostat was to be administered at a dose of 800 mg twice daily. PK blood samples were to be collected after administration of a single dose of 800 mg tazemetostat on Cycle 1 Day 1 and after repeated twice daily doses of tazemetostat 800 mg on Cycle 1 Day 15. Plasma samples were to be analyzed for tazemetostat after each set of 6 subjects completed the PK sampling procedures on Cycle 1 Day 15. In Part 2, subjects with BAP1-deficient relapsed or refractory malignant mesothelioma were to receive orally administered tazemetostat 800 mg twice daily starting on Cycle 1 Day 1. A 2-stage Green-Dahlberg design was utilized with a stopping rule to allow early termination at the end of Stage 1 if there was strong evidence of lack of efficacy based on results from the first 30 treated subjects who completed at least the 12-week assessment, completed the final study visit, or terminated early from the study, whichever was sooner. If early stopping criteria were met, enrollment was to be stopped. To avoid disruptions in the study, enrollment and treatment of subjects were not halted in order to conduct the interim analysis.
