ALL subjects: -To assess the safety and tolerability &pharmakokinetic (PK) parameters of tazemetostat administered as an oral suspension BID and/or tablets three times daily (TID), in pediatric subjects -To evaluate the duration of response in subjects achieving a PR or CR according to a disease appropriate standardized response criteria ;Primary end point(s): Dose Escalation: •Incidence and severity of treatment -emergent AEs (TEAEs) qualifying as protocol-defined dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and es

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1.Dose Escalation ORR: every 8 weeks for tumor response until disease progression 2.Dose Expansion PFS: every 8 weeks until disease progression or death OS: throughout the treatment period and then every 16 weeks until death, withdrawal of consent or they are lost to follow up 3.All Groups •Safety: At each visit or required timepoint during treatment and until for 30 days after last dose of tazemetostat or until new anti-cancer therapy •PK parameters: Cycle 1 (Days 1 and 15) and Cycles 2, 3 and 4 (Day 1). •Response duration: every 8 weeks from the time of confirmed response (CR or PR) until disease progression or death. ;Secondary end point(s): Dose Escalation: •Overall response rate (CR+PR) to tazemetostat in pediatric subjects with relapsed or refractory CNS and solid tumors, using disease-appropriate standardized response criteria; Dose Expansion: •Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at 24 and 56 weeks and overall following receipt of tazemetostat for subjects with relapsed/refractory atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) (Cohort 1), non-ATRT rhabdoid tumors (Cohort 2), INI1-negative tumors (Cohort 3)and tumor types eligible for Cohorts 1 through 3 or synovial sarcoma with SS18-SSX rearrangement (Cohort 4) using disease-appropriate standardized response; All Parts and Cohorts: •Safety and tolerability parameters including treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), clinical laboratory evaluations, and other safety measures •PK parameters including Cmax, Tmax, t1/2, AUC(0-t), AUC(0-12hr), CL/F, Vd/F, Ka (if data permit) •Response duration, for the subset of subjects with a confirmed CR or PR, defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR or PR to time of first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, using disease appropriate standardized response criteria. Exploratory Endpoints: •To assess the PK and pharmacodynamic (PD) relationship
