Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Part 2:Tazemetostat and Rifampin Drug Interaction Cycle 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants in Part 2 of the study will receive a single oral, 800 mg dose of tazemetostat on Days 1, 15, and Day 36. The study participants will receive tazemetostat (oral 800 mg dose) tablets to be taken twice daily on Days 3 - 14 and Days 17 - 23. In addition, the participants will receive oral 200 mg rifampin once daily on Days 17 - 25. Study participants may continue tazemetostat from Day 27+ at the recommended therapeutic dose (oral 800 mg twice daily) in 28-day cycles.
Group II: Part 1: Tazemetostat and Itraconazole Drug Interaction Cycle 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants in Part 1 of the study will receive a single oral, 400 mg dose of tazemetostat on Day 1, 15, and Day 36. The study participants will receive tazemetostat (oral 400 mg) tablets to be taken twice daily on Days 3 - 14 and Days 21 - 35. In addition, the participants will receive oral 200 mg itraconazole once daily on Days 18 - 38. Study participants may continue tazemetostat from Day 40+ at the recommended therapeutic dose (oral 800 mg twice daily) in 28-day cycles.
