- If HIV positive, HIV infection is controlled. Based on Cancer Clinical Trial Eligibility Criteria: Patients with HIV, Hepatitis B Virus, or Hepatitis C Virus Infections - Guidance for Industry (https://www.fda.gov/media/121319/download), patients with HIV should be considered eligible if they have CD4+ T-cell counts ≥ 350 cells/uL and in general, if they have not had an opportunistic infection within the past 12 months. Other exclusion criteria should be considered regarding the drug-drug interaction if antiviral drugs are used. Therefore, in case of controlled HIV infection, since antiviral drugs are used, trial patients should be on established ART for at least 4 weeks and have an HIV viral load less than 400 copies/mL prior to enrolment.
- Have histologically confirmed FL, Grades 1 to 3A.
- Must have been previously treated with at least 1 prior systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or chemoimmunotherapy:
- Systemic therapy includes treatments such as:
- Rituximab monotherapy
- Chemotherapy given with or without rituximab
- Radioimmunoconjugates such as 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan and 131I-tositumomab.
- Systemic therapy does not include, for example:
- Local involved field radiotherapy for limited-stage disease
- Helicobacter pylori eradication
- Prior investigational therapies will be allowed provided the subject has received at least 1 prior systemic therapy as discussed in Inclusion Criterion #6a.
- Prior autologous/allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) will be allowed.
- Prior chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR T) will be allowed.
- Must have documented relapsed, refractory, or PD after treatment with systemic therapy (refractory defined as less than PR or disease progression <6 months after last dose).

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2.
- Within 7 days prior to randomization, all clinically significant toxicity related to a prior anticancer treatment (ie, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and/or radiotherapy must have either resolved to Grade 1 per NCI CTCAE Version 5.0 OR are clinically stable and no longer clinically significant.
- Have provided sufficient tumor tissue block or unstained slides for EZH2 mutation testing in all subjects to allow for stratification
- If EZH2 mutation status is known from site-specific testing, subjects can be enrolled. Tumor tissue will be required for confirmatory testing of EZH2 status at study-specific laboratories. If the archival tumor sample was collected more than 24 months prior to the anticipated administration of the first dose (cycle 1 day 1), then a fresh biopsy must be provided. Fresh tumor biopsy is appropriate except for procedures deemed to result in unacceptable risk because of the anatomical location including brain, lung/mediastinum, pancreas, or endoscopic procedures extending beyond the esophagus, stomach, or bowel. Archival tumor biopsy sections mounted on slides are also acceptable.
- NOTE: Confirmatory testing will also be performed for Stage 1, if local EZH2 testing is conducted, unless there is insufficient tumor tissue to perform testing after discussion with the Sponsor's or Designee Medical Monitor.
- Time between prior anticancer therapy and first dose of tazemetostat as follows:
- Cytotoxic chemotherapy - At least 21 days.
- Noncytotoxic chemotherapy (eg, small molecule inhibitor) - At least 14 days.

- May receive transfusion
- Adequate liver function:
- Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) except for unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia of Gilbert's syndrome.
- Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (in the absence of bone disease), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3 × ULN (≤5 × ULN if subject has liver infilration).
- International normalized ratio (INR) ≤1.5 × ULN and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5 × ULN (unless on warfarin, then INR ≤3.0). In subjects with thromboembolism risk, prophylactic anticoagulation, or antiplatelet therapy at investigator discretion is recommended.
- Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy tests (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [β-hCG] tests with a minimum sensitivity of 25 mIU/mL or equivalent units of β-hCG) at screening within 10 to 14 days prior to first dose of study drug. The subject may not receive study drug until the study doctor has verified that the results of pregnancy tests are negative. All females will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are naturally postmenopausal (at least 24 months consecutively amenorrhoeic [amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential] and without other known or suspected cause) or have been sterilized surgically (ie, total hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy, with surgery completed at least 1 month before dosing).
- Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) enrolled must either practice complete abstinence or agree to use two reliable methods of contraception simultaneously. This includes ONE highly effective method of contraception and ONE additional effective contraceptive method. Contraception must begin at least 28 days prior to first dose of study drug, continue during study treatment (including during dose interruptions), and for 12 months after study drug discontinuation. Female subjects must also refrain from breastfeeding for 12 months following last dose of study drug. If the below contraception methods are not appropriate for the FCBP, she must be referred to a qualified contraception provider to determine the medically effective contraception method appropriate for the subject. The following are examples of highly effective and additional effective methods of contraception:
- Examples of highly effective methods:
- Intrauterine device (IUD)
- Hormonal (ovulation inhibitory combined [estrogen and progesterone] birth control pills or intravaginal/transdermal system, injections, implants, levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system [IUS], medroxyprogesterone acetate depot injections, ovulation inhibitory progesterone-only pills [e.g. desogestrel]) NOTE: There is a potential for tazemetostat interference with hormonal contraception methods due to enzymatic induction.
- Bilateral tubal ligation
- Partner's vasectomy (if medically confirmed [azoospermia] and sole sexual partner).
- Examples of additional effective methods:
- Male latex or synthetic condom,
- Diaphragm,
- Cervical Cap
- NOTE: Female subjects of childbearing potential exempt from these contraception requirements are subjects who practice complete abstinence from heterosexual sexual contact. True abstinence is acceptable when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or post ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
- All study participants enrolled must be registered into the applicable pregnancy prevention program (e.g. REVLIMID REMS in the US, Pregnancy Prevention Programme [PPP] in Europe) for lenalidomide to be administered and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of the applicable program as appropriate for the country in which the drug is being used.
- Female subjects of childbearing potential (FCBP) must adhere to the scheduled pregnancy testing as required in theapplicable pregnancy prevention program. During study treatment, FCBP must agree to have pregnancy testing weekly for the first 28 days of study participation and then every 28 days for FCBP with regular or no menstrual cycles OR every 14 days for FCBP with irregular menstrual cycles. FCBP must also have a pregnancy test at end of lenalidomide treatment, at day 14 (for FCBP with irregular menstrual cycles) and day 28 following the last dose of lenalidomide and at overall treatment discontinuation (at the End-of-Treatment/30-day safety Follow-up visit). Female subjects exempt from this requirement are subjects who have been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months OR are surgically sterilized (ie, total hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) with surgery at least 1 month before the first dose of study treatment.
- Male subjects must either practice complete abstinence or agree to use a latex or synthetic condom, even with a successful vasectomy (medically confirmed azoospermia), during sexual contact with a pregnant female or FCBP from first dose of study drug, during study treatment (including during dose interruptions), and for 3 months after study drug discontinuation.
- NOTE: Male subjects must not donate semen or sperm from first dose of study drug, during study treatment (including during dose interruptions), and for 3 months after study drug discontinuation.

Stage 1 of this trial studied the safety and the level that adverse effects of each of the study drug combinations can be tolerated (known as tolerability). It is also designed to establish a recommended study drug dosage for stage 2 and 3. Stage 1 of the study is completed.
Stages 2 and 3 were designed to evaluate and compare how long participants live without their disease getting worse when receiving the study drug in combination with other drug treatment versus the placebo (dummy drug) in combination with other drug treatment. However, following an urgent safety measure, treatment with tazemetostat and placebo was discontinued, enrollment was stopped, and the study was unblinded. As a result, post-urgent safety measure analyses are descriptive in nature.
Read the detailed description
In Stage 2, participants were enrolled into study cohorts based on whether they have a specific genetic mutation in the EZH2 gene. All participants received treatment in 28-day cycles. After 12 cycles, they continued with maintenance treatment using either the study drug or placebo, depending on their original treatment group. However, following the urgent safety measure, treatment was permanently discontinued and no further interventional procedures are being conducted.
The study included participants with and without the mutation in EZH2 gene. Enrollment was to be completed separately for each group. In China, some participants also had extra blood tests to better understand how the drug behaves in the body; no further pharmacokinetic data are being collected following the urgent safety measure.
Stage 3 focuses on long-term safety monitoring after the urgent safety measure. Participants treated with tazemetostat will be followed for up to 5 years after the last dose of tazemetostat

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The participants of this study would have relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.
Follicular lymphoma is a type of blood cancer. It is referred to as 'relapsed' when the disease has come back after a period of improvement after that follows a treatment regimen and 'refractory' when treatment no longer works.
Stage 1 of this trial studied the safety and the level that adverse effects of each of the study drug combinations can be tolerated (known as tolerability). It is also designed to establish a recommended study drug dosage for stage 2 and 3. Stage 1 of the study is completed.
Stages 2 and 3 were designed to evaluate and compare how long participants live without their disease getting worse when receiving the study drug in combination with other drug treatment versus the placebo (dummy drug) in combination with other drug treatment. However, following an urgent safety measure, treatment with tazemetostat and placebo was discontinued, enrollment was stopped, and the study was unblinded. As a result, post-urgent safety measure analyses are descriptive in nature.
Detailed description
In Stage 2, participants were enrolled into study cohorts based on whether they have a specific genetic mutation in the EZH2 gene. All participants received treatment in 28-day cycles. After 12 cycles, they continued with maintenance treatment using either the study drug or placebo, depending on their original treatment group. However, following the urgent safety measure, treatment was permanently discontinued and no further interventional procedures are being conducted.
The study included participants with and without the mutation in EZH2 gene. Enrollment was to be completed separately for each group. In China, some participants also had extra blood tests to better understand how the drug behaves in the body; no further pharmacokinetic data are being collected following the urgent safety measure.
Stage 3 focuses on long-term safety monitoring after the urgent safety measure. Participants treated with tazemetostat will be followed for up to 5 years after the last dose of tazemetostat

Primary outcome
Phase 1b: Recommended Phase 3 Dose (RP3D) of tazemetostat in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide (R2)
Time frame: Subjects are evaluated for DLTs during the first 28-day cycle. The RP3D for Phase 3 was selected at the end of Stage 1
The safety and tolerability of tazemetostat in combination with R2 in subjects with R/R FL were evaluated. RP3D of tazemetostat for further evaluation in phase 3 was selected as assessed by the occurrence of treatment-emergent dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and adverse events (AEs).
Phase 3: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in the Intent-to-treat wild-type (ITT-WT) populations
Time frame: Stage 2: Up to 72 months
PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the time of confirmed disease progression per the 2014 Lugano Classification or death, whichever occurs first, as assessed by Investigators. PFS will be assessed based on data collected prior to treatment discontinuation as a result of the urgent safety measure. Following implementation of the urgent safety measure, no further efficacy data are collected, and any post-urgent safety measure analyses are descriptive in nature.
Phase 3: PFS in the Intent-to-treat mutant-type (ITT-MT) population
Time frame: Stage 2: Up to 72 months
PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the time of confirmed disease progression per the 2014 Lugano Classification or death, whichever occurs first, as assessed by Investigators.
Phase 3: PFS in the R/R FL population regardless of mutation status by Investigator assessment
Time frame: Stage 2: Up to 72 months
PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first observation of documented objective disease progression per the 2014 Lugano Classification or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the time of confirmed disease progression per the 2014 Lugano Classification or death, whichever occurs first, as assessed by Investigators.
Phase 3: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in the all comer (ITT-All) populations.
Time frame: Stage 2: Up to 72 months
PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the time of confirmed disease progression per the 2014 Lugano Classification or death, whichever occurs first, as assessed by Investigators. PFS will be assessed based on data collected prior to treatment discontinuation as a result of the urgent safety measure. Following implementation of the urgent safety measure, no further efficacy data are collected, and any post-urgent safety measure analyses are descriptive in nature.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Phase 1b: Recommended Phase 3 Dose (RP3D) of tazemetostat in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide (R2) (time frame: Subjects are evaluated for DLTs during the first 28-day cycle. The RP3D for Phase 3 was selected at the end of Stage 1). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04224493, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
