Clinical Trial 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).


Description:

This is a Phase II, multicenter, open-label, single arm, 2-stage study of tazemetostat 800 mg BID (twice daily) and 1600 mg QD (once daily). Subjects will be screened for eligibility within 21 days of the planned date of the first dose of tazemetostat and enrolled into one of 8 cohorts: Cohort using tazemetostat 800 mg BID - Cohort 1 (Closed for enrollment): malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT), rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (RTK), atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT), and selected tumors with rhabdoid features, including small cell carcinoma of the ovary hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), also known as malignant rhaboid tumor of the ovary (MRTO) - Cohort 2 (Closed for enrollment): Relapsed or refractory synovial sarcoma with SS18-SSX rearrangement - Cohort 3 (Closed for enrollment): Other integrase interactor 1 (INI1) negative tumors or any solid tumor with an enhancer of zeste homologue-2 (EZH2) gain of function (GOF) mutation, including: epithelioid malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (EMPNST), extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC), myoepithelial carcinoma, other INI1-negative malignant tumors with Sponsor approval (e.g., dedifferentiated chordoma) any solid tumor with an EZH2 GOF mutation including but not limited to Ewing's sarcoma and melanoma - Cohort 4 (Closed for enrollment): Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) - Cohort 5 (Closed for enrollment): Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) - Cohort 6 (Closed for enrollment): Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) undergoing mandatory tumor biopsy - Cohort 7 (Closed for enrollment): Poorly differentiated chordoma (or other chordoma with Sponsor approval) Cohort using tazemetostat 1600 mg QD • Cohort 8 (Closed for enrollment): Epitheliod sarcoma Participants will be dosed in continuous 28-day cycles. (Note: if treatment with study drug is discontinued prior to completing 2 years, subjects will be followed for a maximum duration of 2 years from start of study drug dosing.) Response assessment will be performed every 8 weeks while on study. Treatment with tazemetostat will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Objective response rate (ORR) in Cohorts 1,3,4,5,6 and 7 Defined as the percentage of participants achieving a confirmed response (CR) or partial Response (PR) from the start of treatment until disease progression or the start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, as per RANO criteria for primary brain tumors or RECIST 1.1 criteria for all other solid tumors. Participants with a best response of unknown/non-evaluable response will be treated as non-responders, i.e., they will be included in the denominator when calculating the percentage. Day 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2, Day 1 of Cycle 3, every 28 Days thereafter assessed maximum up to 2 years
Primary Progression-free survival (PFS) rate in Cohort 2 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 16 weeks of treatment
Primary Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) in Cohort 8 Severity of AEs experienced by all participants will be evaluated by the Investigator based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) CTCAE, version 5.0. Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Primary Percentage of Participants with Clinically Significant changes in Laboratory Parameters (blood chemistry, hematology and coagulation) Percentage of participants with clinically significant change in laboratory parameters (blood chemistry, hematology and coagulation) will be reported. The clinical significance will be evaluated by the investigator Up to 2 years.
Secondary Duration of response (DOR) in all Cohorts Defined as the time from the first documented evidence of a response of at least partial remission (including partial remission and complete remission) to the time of first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, using disease-appropriate standardized response criteria. Assess every 8 weeks for duration of study participation which is estimated to be 2 years.
Secondary Disease control rate (DCR) in Cohort 5, 6 and 8 Defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a CR or PR (as per RECIST 1.1 criteria) or who have stable disease (SD) lasting at least 32 weeks from the start of treatment until disease progression or the start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy 32 weeks of treatment
Secondary Objective Response Rate (ORR) in Cohort 2 Defined as the percentage of participants achieving a CR and PR from the start of treatment until disease progression or the start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, as per RECIST 1.1 criteria for all other solid tumors (Appendix 5). Participants with a best response of unknown/non-evaluable response will be treated as non-responders, i.e., they will be included in the denominator when calculating the percentage. Day 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2, Day 1 of Cycle 3, every 28 Days thereafter assessed maximum up to 2 years
Secondary Overall survival (OS) in all cohorts Defined as the interval of time between the date of the first dose of study drug and the date of death due to any cause. 24, 32 and 56 weeks of treatment
Secondary Overall survival for each cohort The time from the date of the first dose of study treatment to the date of death due to any cause Weeks 24, 32, 56, and at end of study, an average of 2 years.
