Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Phase Ib: to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for tazemetostat in patients treated with R-CHOP 21 Phase II – DLBCL cohort: • to determine the Complete Response Rate (CRR) based on local assessment according to Cheson IWG 2014: Lugano Classification (i.e. categories 1- 3 on the 5 point Deauville scale) at the end of treatment or at permanent treatment discontinuation.End of treatment is defined as after 6 cycles of Epi-RCHOP 21 + 2 cycles of Tazemetostat and Rituximab. Phase II – FL cohort: • to determine the Complete Response Rate (CRR) based on local assessment at the end of induction or at permanent treatment discontinuation according to Cheson IWG 2014: Lugano Classification (i.e. Deauville scale 1-3). End of induction is defined as after 6 cycles of Epi-RCHOP 21 + 2 cycles of Tazemetostat and Rituximab.;Secondary Objective: Phase Ib: - to assess the pharmacokinetics of the CHOP 21 components +/- tazemetostat - to assess the pharmacokinetics of tazemetostat and its metabolite, EPZ-6930 + R-CHOP 21 - to evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of tazemetostat using Cheson IWG 2014 Phase II – DLBCL cohort: • To determine the safety of tazemetostat • To determine CRR by central review at the end of treatment • To evaluate the overall response rate and progression free survival at 52 and 104 w and overall • To evaluate duration of response and overall survival • To evaluate the Best Overall Response Phase II – FL cohort : • To determine the safety of tazemetostat • To determine PET EOI CRR rate • To determine the complete response rate and overall response rate at the end of rituximab maintenance • To evaluate progression free survival overall and at 24 months, event-free survival overall and at 24 months, and overall survival . • To evaluate duration of response • To evaluate BOR ;Primary end point(s): Phase I : - RP2D Phase II - DLBCL cohort - CRR Phase II - Follicular lymphoma cohort - CRR Phase I : - RP2D;Timepoint(s)
