Brief Summary:
This phase II trial studies how well tazemetostat works in treating patients with ovarian or endometrial cancer that has come back (recurrent). Chemotherapy drugs, such as tazemetostat, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Recurrent Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma Recurrent Ovarian Carcinoma Recurrent Ovarian Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma Recurrent Ovarian Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma Recurrent Uterine Corpus Cancer Drug: Tazemetostat Phase 2

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To assess the clinical activity (overall response rate) of tazemetostat in patients with recurrent or persistent endometrioid or clear cell ovarian carcinoma, and patients with recurrent or persistent endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma.

II. To assess the clinical activity (response frequency) of tazemetostat in patients with recurrent or persistent clear cell ovarian carcinoma with an ARID1A mutation.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To examine the nature and degree of toxicity in patients with this regimen. II. To examine the progression free survival and overall survival for this patient population receiving tazemetostat.

III. To examine the 6 month clinical benefit rate in patients treated with this regimen. (20-OCT-2021) IV. To evaluate BAF250a expression in patient samples as an indicator of ARID1A mutation status and correlation with the clinical response to study drug. Note: this only applies to patients enrolled prior to the 20-OCT-2021 version date. (20-OCT-2021)

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. Whether or not the patient has an ARID1A mutation. (08/13/2019) Note: this only applies to patients enrolled prior to the 20-OCT-2021 version date. (20-OCT-2021) (Translational Research Integrated Objective) II. To examine the correlation between ARID1A mutation and BAF250a expression and to identify potential mutations predictive of response in patients with preserved BAF250a expression. Note: this only applies to patients enrolled prior to the 20-OCT-2021 version date. (20-OCT-2021)

OUTLINE:

Patients receive tazemetostat orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Tumor response [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]
    Will be defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Tumor response in patients with ARID1A mutations using tumor response [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]
    Will be defined by RECIST v 1.1.

  2. 6-month progression free survival (clinical benefit rate) [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]
  3. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be assessed according to grade of toxicity by organ or organ system.

  4. Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: From study entry to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years ]
    Will be characterized by quartiles and the median of the distribution with confidence intervals. Kaplan-Meier plots will show an estimate of the survival function for these populations.

  5. Overall survival [ Time Frame: From study entry to time of death or the date of last contact, assessed up to 5 years ]
    Will be characterized by quartiles and the median of the distribution with confidence intervals. Kaplan-Meier plots will show an estimate of the survival function for these populations.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. ARID1A mutational status [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]
    Associations between BAF250a and ARID1A mutations may be examined with contingency table analysis (e.g. potentially including Chi-square analyses or Spearman's correlation).

  2. BAF250a expression [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]
    Will be assessed by immunohistochemistry. Associations between BAF250a and ARID1A mutations may be examined with contingency table analysis (e.g. potentially including Chi-square analyses or Spearman's correlation).

  • Patients with clinical or radiographic evidence of bowel obstruction
  • Severe, active co-morbidity per the treating investigator's discretion
  • Pregnant or lactating patients
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with tazemetostat; in addition, treatments involved in this protocol may be immunosuppressive, increasing the risk of lethal infections in this patient population
  • Treatment with strong and moderate inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A within 14 days of step 2 registration and during the study treatment
