Clinical Trial 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.

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Objective Response Rate (ORR)	ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with WT EZH2 status who achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to the 2014 Lugano Classification as assessed by investigator and blinded independent review committee (IRC). CR = complete metabolic response per positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) based response or complete radiologic response per CT-based response. PR = partial metabolic response per PET-CT-based response or partial remission per CT-based response.	Planned to be assessed during Cycles 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24.
Secondary	Progression Free Survival (PFS)	PFS was defined as the time from first dose of study drug to the time of the earliest date of CR or PR per the 2014 Lugano Classification or death, whichever occurred first, as assessed by an IRC. CR= complete metabolic response per PET-CT based response or complete radiologic response per CT-based response. PR= partial metabolic response per PET-CT-based response or partial remission per CT-based response.	Planned to be assessed from first dose of study drug to earliest date of disease progression or death as assessed up to 24 months by an IRC
Secondary	Duration of Response (DOR)	DOR was defined as the time from the earliest date of CR or PR per the 2014 Lugano Classification to documented progression or death, whichever comes first, as assessed by an IRC. CR= complete metabolic response per PET-CT based response or complete radiologic response per CT-based response. PR= partial metabolic response per PET-CT-based response or partial remission per CT-based response.	Planned to be assessed from earliest date of CR or PR to documented progression or death as assessed up to 24 months by an IRC
Secondary	ORR in a Subset of Participants With MT EZH2	ORR was assessed according to 2014 Lugano Classification, in the pooled group regardless of mutation status and in a subset of participants with MT EZH2.	Planned to be assessed at the following timepoints: Cycles 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24
Secondary	ORR in Rituximab Refractory Participants	ORR was assessed according to 2014 Lugano Classification, in rituximab refractory participants.	Planned to be assessed at the following timepoints: Cycle 3, Cycle 6, Cycle 12, Cycle 18, and Cycle 24.
