Summary
This study is enrolling people with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma. Follicular lympthoma is a type of blood cancer, and 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 in combination with other drug treatment.
In stages 2 and 3, participants will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment arms.
In the Experimental Arm, participants will receive the study drug (tazemetostat) as an oral tablet twice daily in continuous 28-day cycles, plus rituximab via IV infusion on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of cycle 1; then on day 1 of cycles 2 to 5, and lenalidomide orally once daily on days 1 to 21 for 12 cycles.
This will be followed by maintenance therapy of oral tazemetostat by itself twice daily for up to 2 years after the initial 12 months of combination therapy.
In the Placebo Comparator Arm, participants will receive an oral placebo tablet twice daily in continuous 28-day cycles, plus rituximab via IV on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of cycle 1 and then day 1 of cycles 2 to 5, and lenalidomide orally once daily on days 1 to 21 for 12 cycles.
This will be followed by maintenance therapy with an oral placebo by itself twice daily for up to 2 years after the initial 12 months of combination therapy.
