Adequate laboratory values of organ function, defined as:
Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1000/mm3.
Platelet count > 100,000/mm2 (transfusion independent, defined as not receiving platelet transfusions for at least 7 days prior to enrollment).

Coagulation INR < 1.5, while on anti-coagulation INR < 2.5.
Nervous system disorders (CTCAE v5.0) resulting from prior therapy must be < Grade 2, with the exception of decreased tendon reflex (DTR). Any grade of DTR is eligible.
Subjects must not have more than one active malignancy at the time of enrollment
Written informed consent obtained from the subject and the subject agrees to comply with all the study-related procedures. All subjects and/or their parents or legally authorized representatives must sign a written informed consent. Assent, when appropriate, will be obtained according to institutional standard practice.
Use of contraception:
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who are heterosexually active must be using two highly effective methods of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study drug to minimize the risk of pregnancy as Tazemetostat might counteract the effects of hormonal contraceptives. Birth control methods that can be used
While in this study include: established use of oral, injected or implanted
hormonal birth control or placement of an intrauterine device [IUD] or
intrauterine system [IUS]. They or their partner must also use a second method,
(e.g., condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository or occlusive cap
[diaphragm or cervical/vault caps] with spermicidal
foam/gel/film/cream/suppository. If their male partner is vasectomized, they do
not need to use any of the birth control methods listed above. The type of
birth control they use must be discussed with the study doctor before beginning
the study. The study doctor must approve the method you use before they can
enter the study. Prior to study enrollment, women of childbearing potential
must be advised of the importance of avoiding pregnancy during trial
participation and the potential risk factors for an unintentional pregnancy.
- Males with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use physician-approved contraceptive methods (e.g., abstinence, condoms,vasectomy) throughout the study and should avoid donating sperm, for 90 days following the last dose of study drug.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects who are currently taking the following concomitant medications:
Anti-cancer Agents: Subjects who are currently receiving other anti-cancer agents are not eligible.
CYP3A4 Agents: Subjects who are currently receiving drugs that are strong inducers or strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 are not eligible. Strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4 are prohibited from 14 days prior to the first dose of Tazemetostat to the end of the study. Note: Dexamethasone for CNS tumors or metastases, on a stable dose, is allowed.
Grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges and food/drinks containing them should be avoided one week before the first dose of the study intervention
Subjects who are acutely ill with an uncontrolled active infection on systemic anti-infective agents are not eligible.
Subjects with a prior history of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma/T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) or other myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN).
Subjects who have any of the following underlying major cardiac issues or
Conditions:
Known QTc prolongation or documentation
Documented New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV congestive heart failure.
Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to registration.
Unstable angina within 6 months prior to registration.
Symptomatic arrhythmia.
Subjects who in the opinion of the investigator may be high risk for treatment complications or unable to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study
Heterosexually active males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use two highly effective contraceptive methods for the duration of study treatment as Tazemetostat might counteract the effects of hormonal contraceptives. Female subjects of childbearing potential should agree to remain abstinent or use adequate contraceptive methods for 6 months after the last dose of Tazemetostat. Male subjects should agree to remain abstinent or use adequate contraceptive methods, and agree to refrain from donating sperm, and for 90 days after the last dose of Tazemetostat.
Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding will not be entered on this study because there is currently no available information regarding human fetal or teratogenic toxicities. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who are post-menarchal.
Administration of a vaccine containing live virus within 30 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment. Note: Most flu vaccines are killed viruses, with the exception of the intra-nasal vainer (Flu-Mist) which is an attenuated live virus and therefore prohibited for 30 days prior to first dose. Non-live versions of the COVID-19 vaccine are allowed.
Prisoners or subjects who are involuntarily incarcerated, or subjects who are compulsorily detained for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical illness.
Known hypersensitivity to tazmetostat or any component of the formulation of tazemetostat
Inability to take oral medication OR have malabsorption syndrome or any other uncontrolled gastrointestinal condition (eg, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting) that might impair the bioavailability of tazmetostat

Get screened to confirm eligibility
You may be asked to take part in prescreening to make sure you are eligible for a study. The prescreening process ensures it is safe for you to participate. During the prescreening process, you will be asked some questions and you may also be asked to schedule tests or procedures to confirm your eligibility.
-
Step3
Provide your consent to participate
If you are eligible and want to join the clinical trial or study, a member of the research team will ask for your consent to participate. To give consent, you will be asked to read and sign a consent form for the study. This consent form explains the study's purpose, procedures, risks, benefits and provides other important information, such as the study team's contact information.
-

Participate
If you decide to participate in a clinical trial or study, the research team will keep you informed of the study requirements and what you will need to do to throughout the study. For some trials or studies, your health care provider may work with the research team to ensure there are no conflicts with other medications or treatments.
