Brief Summary:

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 will study 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 will 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.

Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma Follicular Lymphoma Refractory Follicular Lymphoma Drug: Tazemetostat Drug: Placebo oral tablet Combination Product: Lenalidomide Combination Product: Rituximab Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Stage 1 is a safety run-in phase, was designed to evaluate the safety of the combination of tazemetostat and R2, as well as to establish the RP3D for Stage 2, which is now completed.

Stage 2 is an efficacy and safety phase for an assessment of the FL population with the enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) gain-of-function (GOF) mutation (EZH2 mutant-type [MT]) and without the EZH2 GOF mutation (EZH2 wild-type [WT]). In Stage 2, EZH2 WT and EZH2 MT patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to tazemetostat + R2 or placebo + R2. There will be 1 futility interim analysis (IA) and 1 efficacy IA for WT population and 1 efficacy IA for MT population.

Stage 3 is a long-term follow-up of patients for assessment of response and overall survival. All patients will be followed for survival until 5 years post last patient enrolled in the study.

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).
  18. 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.

  19. 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, RevAid in Canada) 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.

    a. 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 days 14 and 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 have had a total hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy.

  20. 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.

  9. Major surgery within 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug.

    a. Note: Minor surgery (eg, minor biopsy of extracranial site, central venous catheter placement, shunt revision) is permitted within 3 weeks prior to enrollment.

  10. Are unable to take oral medication OR have malabsorption syndrome or any other uncontrolled gastrointestinal condition (eg, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting) that might impair the bioavailability of tazemetostat.
  11. Significant cardiovascular impairment: history of congestive heart failure greater than New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II, uncontrolled arterial hypertension, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or stroke within 6 months of the first dose of study drug; or cardiac ventricular arrhythmia (Appendix 3).
  12. Prolongation of corrected QT interval using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) to ≥480 msec at screening or history of long QT syndrome.
  13. Venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within the last 3 months before starting tazemetostat.

    a. Note: Participants who have experienced deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism more than 3 months before enrollment are eligible but are recommended to receive prophylaxis.

  14. Have an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
  15. Known hypersensitivity to any component of tazemetostat or lenalidomide; known severe hypersensitivity to any component of rituximab requiring hospitalization or resuscitation.
  16. Active viral infection with or seropositive for HBV: HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) positive OR HBsAg negative, anti-HBs positive and/or anti-HBc positive with detectable HBV DNA.

    NOTE: Subjects who are HBsAg negative, anti-HBs positive and/or anti-HBc positive, but with undetectable viral DNA and normal ALT are eligible. Subjects who are seropositive due to HBV vaccination (HBsAg negative, HBV surface antibody [anti-HBs] positive, and HBV core antibody [anti-HBc] negative) are eligible.

  17. Active viral infection with hepatitis C virus (as measured by positive HCV antibody and detectable viral RNA, HIV), or known active infection with human T-cell lymphotropic virus.

    NOTE: Subjects with a history of hepatitis C infection (HCV antibody reactive) who have normal ALT and undetectable HCV RNA are eligible.

  18. Any other medical or social condition that, in the Investigator's judgment, will interfere with a participant's ability to provide informed consent, to receive study drugs, or meet study demands, or that substantially increases the risk associated with the subject's participation in the study, or that may interfere with interpretation of results.
  19. Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating/breastfeeding.
  20. Subjects who have undergone a solid organ transplant.
  21. Subjects with malignancies other than FL. a. Exception: Subjects with another malignancy who have been disease-free for 3 years, or subjects with a history of a completely resected non-melanoma skin cancer or successfully treated in situ carcinoma are eligible.
