On Friday 15th June an oral abstract session took place at the 23rd congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA). Abstract S100 was presented by Gilles Salles, South Lyon University Hospital Complex, Lyon, on the interim update of the phase II study of tazemetostat in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL).
Tazemetostat is a selective, reversible, oral inhibitor of mutated and wild-type EZH2. It has shown activity and acceptable safety profiles as monotherapy in phase I and II studies in R/R non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Dr Salles concluded his talk by stating that the interim data of this study demonstrated clinical activity of tazemetostat in R/R FL patients with previous lines of therapy. It showed durable clinical responses and also that tazemetostat was well tolerated. These promising findings support EZH2 as a potential novel therapeutic target in R/R FL.
