Epizyme, Inc.

Brief Summary:
This is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 3 study with phase 1b portion designed to establish a recommended phase 3 dose (RP3D) and to evaluate the efficacy, PK, and safety of tazemetostat + doxorubicin vs placebo + doxorubicin in subjects with advanced epithelioid sarcoma (ES). This study will be conducted in 2 parts.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma Advanced Epithelioid Sarcoma Drug: Tazemetostat Drug: Placebo Drug: Doxorubicin HCl Phase 3

Expanded Access : Epizyme, Inc. has indicated that access to an investigational treatment associated with this study is available outside the clinical trial.  

Detailed Description:
The open-label phase 1b portion is designed to evaluate the safety of the combination of tazemetostat + doxorubicin, as well as to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the RP3D. The phase 3 portion of the clinical trial aims to compare tazemetostat + doxorubicin to the current front-line standard treatment, single-agent doxorubicin + placebo, when used as first-line treatment in locally advanced unresectable or metastatic ES.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) as determined by Adverse Events following administration of Tazemostat in Combination with Doxorubicin [ Time Frame: 1 Cycle/21 days ]

    Phase 1b: Evaluate the safety and tolerability of tazemetostat in combination with doxorubicin in subjects with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and select a dose for further evaluation in phase 3 (the RP3D)

    Phase 3: Evaluate and compare the progression free survival (PFS) by independent review committee in subjects with advanced ES treated with tazmetostat + doxorubicin versus placebo + doxorubicin


  2. Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of one year. ]
    Phase 3 Evaluate and compare the PFS by independent review committee (IRC) in subjects with advanced ES treated with tazemetostat + doxorubicin versus placebo + doxorubicin through study completion, an average of one year.
