A Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacodynamics, and Pharmacokinetics of Tazemetostat in Combination With Lenalidomide Plus Rituximab Versus Placebo in Combination With Lenalidomide Plus Rituximab in Adult Patients at Least 18 Years of Age With Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma.

Description

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

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:
  • * 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).
  • * Male latex or synthetic condom,
  • * Diaphragm,
  • * Cervical Cap
