What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial studies how well tazemetostat works in children with certain difficult-to-treat cancers that have specific gene mutations. Tazemetostat is a pill that aims to stop cancer cell growth by blocking a specific protein. The goal is to see if this treatment can help these children when other treatments have failed. Tazemetostat is already approved for treating various cancers, including certain brain tumors in children.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for patients with relapsed or refractory advanced solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with specific gene mutations (EZH2, SMARCB1, SMARCA4). Participants must have measurable disease and recovered from previous cancer therapies. They need adequate blood counts and organ function and can't have had prior EZH2 inhibitor treatment.

Inclusion Criteria

My cancer can be seen and measured on scans, or if I have neuroblastoma, it shows up on special scans even if not measurable.

My blood counts meet the required levels and I haven't needed platelet transfusions in the last week.

My kidney function is normal or near normal.

Exclusion Criteria

My blood tests do not show signs of specific blood disorders.

I do not have any infections that are currently uncontrolled.

Pregnant or breast-feeding women

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Tazemetostat

Trial Overview The trial tests Tazemetostat's effectiveness in stopping tumor growth by blocking a protein called EZH2. It targets patients whose cancers haven't responded to other treatments and who carry certain genetic mutations that may be affected by this drug.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Treatment (tazemetostat) Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Patients receive tazemetostat PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
