Full Title
A Phase 1 Study of the EZH2 Inhibitor Tazemetostat in Pediatric Subjects with Relapsed/Refractory INI1-Negative Tumors or Synovial SarcomaPurpose
Tazemetostat is an investigational drug that kills cancer cells by stopping a protein called EZH2 from working. In certain cancers, such as INI1-negative tumors and synovial sarcomas, EZH2 activity is abnormally high. Tazemetostat has been shown to slow the growth of or kill cancer cells in these tumor types.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of tazemetostat that can be given safely in children with INI1-negative tumors or synovial sarcoma that have continued to grow or came back despite prior therapy. Tazemetostat is taken orally (by mouth).
