A Phase II, Multicenter Study of the EZH2 Inhibitor Tazemetostat in Adult Subjects With INI1-Negative Tumors or Relapsed/Refractory Synovial Sarcoma

Who is this study for? Patients with Tumors
What treatments are being studied? Tazemetostat
Status: Completed
Location: See all (32) locations...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 2
SUMMARY

This study will include participants with various types of cancer known as soft-tissue sarcomas. Tissues that can be affected by soft tissue sarcomas include fat, muscle, blood vessels, deep skin tissues, tendons and ligaments. Soft tissue cancers are rare and can occur almost anywhere in the body. Part 1 of this trial will study the safety and the level that adverse effects of the study drug tazemetostat in combination with doxorubicin (current front line treatment) can be tolerated (known as tolerability). It is also designed to establish a recommended study drug dosage for the next part of the study. Part 2 will evaluate and compare how long participants live without their disease getting worse when receiving the study drug plus doxorubicin versus doxorubicin plus placebo (dummy treatment).

⁃ For Cohort 6 (subjects with ES undergoing optional tumor biopsy) only:

∙ Morphology and immunophenotypic panel consistent with ES (e.g., CD34, EMA, Keratin, and INI1)

⁃ Has all prior treatment (i.e. chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy) related clinically significant toxicities resolve to ≤Grade 1 per CTCAE version 4.0.3 or are clinically stable and not clinically significant, at time of enrollment.

⁃ Prior anti-cancer therapy(ies), if applicable, must be completed according to the criteria below:

∙ Chemotherapy: cytotoxic (At least 14 days since last dose of chemotherapy prior to first dose of tazemetostat)

‣ Chemotherapy: nitrosoureas (At least 6 weeks since last dose of nitrosoureas prior to first dose of tazemetostat)

‣ Chemotherapy: non-cytotoxic (e.g., small molecule inhibitor) (At least 14 days since last dose of non-cytotoxic chemotherapy prior to first dose of tazemetostat)

‣ Monoclonal antibody(ies) (At least 28 days since the last dose of any monoclonal antibody prior to first dose of tazemetostat)

‣ Immunotherapy (e.g. tumor vaccine) (At least 42 days since last dose of immunotherapy agent(s) prior to first dose of tazemetostat)

‣ Radiotherapy (RT) (At least 14 days from last local site RT prior to first dose of tazemetostat/At least 21 days from stereostatic radiosurgery prior to first dose of tazemetostat/At least 12 weeks from craniospinal, ≥50% radiation of pelvis, or total body irradiation prior to first dose of tazemetostat)

‣ High dose therapy with autologous hematopoietic cell infusion (At least 60 days from last infusion prior to first dose of tazemetostat)

‣ Hematopoietic growth factor (At least 14 days from last dose of hematopoietic growth factor prior to first dose of tazemetostat)

⁃ Has sufficient tumor tissue (slides or blocks) available for central confirmatory testing

⁃ Has measurable disease based on either RECIST 1.1 for solid tumors or RANO for CNS tumors

⁃ Has adequate hematologic (bone marrow \[BM\] and coagulation factors), renal and hepatic function.

⁃ For subjects with CNS Tumors only, subject must have seizures that are stable, not increasing in frequency or severity and controlled on current anti-seizure medication(s) for a minimum of 21 days prior to the planned first dose of tazemetostat

⁃ Has a shortening fraction of \>27% or an ejection fraction of ≥50% by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan and New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class ≤2

⁃ Has a QT interval corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) ≤480 msec

⁃ Female subjects of childbearing potential must:

∙ Have a negative beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) pregnancy test at time of screening and within 14 days prior to planned first dose of tazemetostat and

‣ Agree to use effective contraception from a minimum of 7 days prior to first dose until 6 months following the last dose of tazemetostat and have a male partner who uses a condom, or

‣ Practice true abstinence or have a male partner who is vasectomized

⁃ Male subjects with a female partner of childbearing potential must:

∙ Be vasectomized, or
