A Phase 2, Open-label, Single-Arm Clinical Trial to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Tazemetostat for the Treatment of Adult Participants Age 18 and Over With Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma Lacking the EZH2 Gain-of-Function (GOF) Mutation

The purpose of this research study is to learn about the effectiveness and safety of the study drug, tazemetostat, in adults with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma whose tumours do not have an "EZH2 gain-of-function" genetic mutation. Follicular lymphoma is a blood cancer. It affects white blood cells called lymphocytes. White blood cells normally help to fight infections, but when you have follicular lymphoma, the blood cells can form tumours in your body. 'Relapsed/refractory' follicular lymphoma means the disease has either not improved or is getting worse (progressing) during or after previous treatment.
Tazemetostat already has approval in the United States for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma with or without the "EZH2" mutation who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.
This study is being conducted to better understand the effectiveness in patients whose tumours do not have an "EZH2 gain-of-function" genetic mutation and who previously received therapies commonly used in the U.S. in your body.

This study is being conducted to better understand the effectiveness in patients whose tumours do not have an "EZH2" genetic mutation and who previously received therapies commonly used in the U.S.
In this study, all participants will receive the study drug. It will be taken by mouth (orally), as a tablet, twice daily. The sizes and number of tumours according to scan results will be collected as well as results of safety tests (such as physical examinations and laboratory tests).
The study consists of 4 periods:
* Screening period may take up to 4 weeks and require at least 1 visit.
* Treatment period will require 2 visits for each of the first 2 months, followed by 1 visit every month for the remainder of the first 12 months, followed by 1 visit every 3 months (except for women of childbearing potential [WOCBP], who will continue to have a pregnancy testing every month) until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or the start of new systemic anticancer therapy, whichever is first.
* Safety follow-up period will last for 1 month after the last dose of tazemetostat, and it will end with 1 visit or telephone call.
* Long-term follow-up period is only for participants who stop taking tazemetostat while their disease continues to respond; this period will last until disease progression, start of new cancer treatment, or death from any cause, whichever is first, and will require a visit every 3 months.
Tazemetostat will be provided to participants who tolerate it for as long as their disease does not progress.
Participants may be transferred to another study or program after about 2 years for continued treatment with tazemetostat or for long-term follow-up. Patients may withdraw consent to participate at any time.

A Phase 2 Study of Epcoritamab Plus Tazemetostat for Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma

This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects and effectiveness of epcoritamab and tazemetostat in treating patients with grade I-IIIa follicular lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Epcoritamab is a bispecific monoclonal antibody that binds to two different antigens on the surface of cancer cells that may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of the cancer cells to grow and spread. Tazemetostat, a EZH2 inhibitor, may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving epcoritamab and tazemetostat may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory grade I-IIIa follicular lymphoma.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of mosunetuzumab for treatment of relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy in the United States

Article

Author: Sanchez Alvarez, Javier ; Lin, Shih-Wen ; Parisé, Hélène ; Di Maio, Danilo ; Zuk, Eric ; Kim, Eunice ; Matasar, Matthew ; Shapouri, Sheila

AIMS:

Mosunetuzumab has received accelerated approval by the US Food and Drug Administration for adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of mosunetuzumab for the treatment of R/R FL from a US private payer perspective.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A partitioned survival model simulated lifetime costs and outcomes of mosunetuzumab against seven comparators: axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel), tazemetostat (taz, EZH2 wild-type only), rituximab plus lenalidomide (R-Len) or bendamustine (R-Benda), obinutuzumab plus bendamustine (O-Benda), and a retrospective real-world cohort (RW) based on current patterns of care derived from US electronic health records (Flatiron Health). Efficacy data for mosunetuzumab were from the pivotal Phase II GO29781 trial (NCT02500407). Relative treatment efficacy was estimated from indirect treatment comparisons (ITCs). Costs included were related to treatment, adverse events, routine care, and terminal care. Except for drug costs (March 2023), all costs were inflated to 2022 US dollars. Costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) were used to calculate incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs). Net monetary benefit (NMB) was calculated using a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of $150,000/QALY.

RESULTS:

Mosunetuzumab dominated taz, tisa-cel, and axi-cel with greater QALYs and lower costs. Mosunetuzumab was projected to be cost-effective against R-Benda, O-Benda, and RW with ICERs of $78,607, $42,731, and $21,434, respectively. Mosunetuzumab incurred lower costs but lower QALYs vs. R-Len. NMBs showed that mosunetuzumab was cost-effective against comparators except R-Len.

LIMITATIONS:

Without head-to-head comparative data, the model had to rely on ITCs, some of which were affected by residual bias. Model inputs were obtained from multiple sources. Extensive sensitivity analyses assessed the importance of these uncertainties.

CONCLUSION:

Mosunetuzumab is estimated to be cost-effective compared with approved regimens except R-Len for the treatment of adults with R/R FL.

Discovery of epigenetic modulators targeting HDACs and EZH2 simultaneously for the treatment of hematological malignancies

Article

Author: Yang, Maoshuo ; Li, Mengzhe ; Tian, Sijia ; Hu, Xi ; You, Xiaona ; Chai, Qipeng ; Liu, Fabao ; Zhang, Jinwei ; Zhang, Yingjie ; Xue, Xintong ; Liu, Qian ; Li, Jintao

Epigenetic-targeted therapy has been applied in the treatment of several types of cancer. Herein, based on the synergistic antitumor effects of co-targeting HDACs and EZH2 in some hematological malignancies, a novel series of tazemetostat-based HDACs/EZH2 dual inhibitors were rationally designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated. Satisfyingly, compounds 22a and 22b were identified as potent HDACs/EZH2 dual inhibitors with robust antiproliferative activities against one diffuse large-cell B cell lymphomas (DLBCL) cell line harboring EZH2 mutation and multiple acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines. Notably, after a short-term treatment in the EZH2 mutant DLBCL cell line (SU-DHL-6), 22a and 22b displayed much stronger antiproliferative activities than the approved EZH2 inhibitor tazemetostat, while after a long-term treatment in SU-DHL-6 cells, 22a and 22b displayed comparable or even superior antiproliferative activities to the approved HDACs inhibitor SAHA. In AML cells, compounds 22a and 22b displayed much more potent antiproliferative activities than tazemetostat, as well as distinctive differentiation-inducing abilities and superior apoptosis-inducing abilities relative to tazemetostat and SAHA. Moreover, the synergistic anti-AML effects of HDACs/EZH2 dual inhibitors combined with various anti-AML drugs were demonstrated.

KLF15 suppresses stemness of pancreatic cancer by decreasing USP21-mediated Nanog stability

Article

Author: Ren, Li ; Qiao, Lu ; Jiang, Wenna ; Chen, Chong ; Li, Xueyang ; Zuo, Duo ; Hou, Xupeng ; Zhou, Tianxing ; Liu, Jing ; Liu, Lin ; Wang, Meng

The existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is considered to be the key factor for metastasis and chemoresistance. Thus, novel therapeutic strategies for eradicating CSCs are urgently needed. Here we aimed to explore the role of KLF15 in stemness and the feasibility of using KLF15 to inhibit CSCs and improve chemotherapy sensitivity in PDAC. In this study, we report that KLF15 is negatively associated with poor survival and advanced pathological staging of PDAC. Moreover, tumorous KLF15 suppresses the stemness of PDAC by promoting the degradation of Nanog, and KLF15 directly interacts with Nanog, inhibiting interaction between Nanog with USP21. We also demonstrate that the KLF15/Nanog complex inhibit the stemness in vivo and in PDX cells. Tazemetostat suppresses stemness and sensitizes PDAC cells to gemcitabine by promoting KLF15 expression in PDAC. In summary, the findings of our study confirm the value of KLF15 level in diagnosis and prognosis of PDAC, it is the first time to explore the inhibition role of KLF15 in stemness of PDAC and the regulation mechanism of Nanog, contributing to provide a new therapeutic strategy that using Tazemetostat sensitizes PDAC cells to gemcitabine by promoting KLF15 expression for PDAC.

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Overview Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is an advanced stage of prostate cancer that continues to grow and spread despite hormone therapy aimed at lowering testosterone levels. The term "metastatic" refers to cancer spreading to other parts of the body, such as the bones, lymph nodes, or distant organs, while "castration-resistant" indicates that the cancer no longer responds to treatments that reduce testosterone, a key driver of prostate cancer growth. mCRPC is typically more aggressive and challenging to treat than earlier stages of prostate cancer. The causes of mCRPC stem from genetic and environmental factors. Genetic mutations in the androgen receptor pathway can make cancer cells less dependent on testosterone, allowing them to thrive even under hormone-suppressing treatments. Environmental factors like diet, lifestyle, and exposure to certain chemicals may also contribute to the development and progression of prostate cancer. Symptoms of mCRPC often include pain in bones, fatigue, difficulty urinating, weight loss, and general weakness. As the cancer spreads, it can impair the function of other organs, depending on the site of metastasis. Diagnosis of mCRPC usually involves a combination of tests, including prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests, imaging studies like CT scans, MRIs, or bone scans, and sometimes biopsies to confirm the spread and resistance to treatment. Treatment options for mCRPC are more complex and may include newer hormonal therapies (e.g., abiraterone, enzalutamide), chemotherapy (docetaxel or cabazitaxel), immunotherapy (e.g., sipuleucel-T), or targeted therapies such as PARP inhibitors. Bone-targeting therapies, radiation, and palliative care can also be used to manage symptoms and improve the quality of life. Treatment is typically tailored to the individual based on the extent of the disease and the patient health.

Expanding the Bispecific Antibody Market from CAR-Ts to Drive Follicular Lymphoma's Future | DelveInsight

The competition in follicular lymphoma is rapidly intensifying, with three CAR-T therapies and three bispecific antibodies now approved for relapsed or refractory patients. As both classes of treatments expand, the battle for dominance in this market is growing, with each therapy offering unique advantages in accessibility, efficacy, and safety profiles, setting the stage for a dynamic shift in treatment strategies. LAS VEGAS, Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Follicular lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that develops from B-lymphocytes and is generally slow-growing or indolent. This subtype represents 20–30% of all NHL cases. While follicular lymphoma typically progresses slowly, there are instances where it can grow more rapidly. Treatment options for follicular lymphoma include, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, stem cell transplantation, CAR T-cell therapy, and bispecific-antibodies. For those in the early stages of the disease (Ann Arbor stages I or II), treatment may involve radiation therapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy. Patients with advanced follicular lymphoma are typically treated initially with a combination of chemotherapy and anti-CD20 antibodies, a method known as chemoimmunotherapy. The most commonly used antibodies are RITUXAN (rituximab) and GAZYVA (obinutuzumab), which specifically target tumor cells associated with follicular lymphoma. In older patients who do not have organ dysfunction, treatment with rituximab alone may be an option. Other therapies like ZEVALIN (yttrium-90 ibritumomab tiuxetan), TAZVERIK (tazemetostat), REVLIMID (lenalidomide), and others are approved for the treatment of follicular lymphoma. CAR T-cell therapies are becoming increasingly significant in treating follicular lymphoma. YESCARTA, a CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T-cell therapy, became the first CAR-T to be approved for follicular lymphoma by the US FDA in March 2021. Before the approval of YESCARTA, BREYANZI was approved in February 2021 for Grade 3B follicular lymphoma that accounts for about 5-10% of all follicular lymphoma cases. Later in April 2022 it was approved by the European commission. In May 2024 BREYANZI was approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma who have received two or more prior lines of systemic therapy and provided sustained clinical benefit with median duration of response not reached and the majority (77.1%) of responders in ongoing response at 18 months. In May 2022, Novartis announced that the European Commission approved KYMRIAH (tisagenlecleucel) for adult patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma who have undergone two or more systemic therapies. This approval represents the third indication for KYMRIAH, making it the first CAR-T cell therapy sanctioned in Europe for such patients, including those with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma Grades 1, 2, and 3A. Additionally, in May 2022, the US FDA granted approval for KYMRIAH for the same patient group. Currently, autologous CAR-T therapies are the only ones approved, but the emerging pipeline predominantly comprises autologous CAR-Ts alongside a growing number of allogeneic CAR-T therapies. Allogeneic CAR-T, a newer term, refers to donor-derived therapies offering several advantages over autologous treatments. These off-the-shelf therapies are readily available, eliminating the need to modify patient cells either at a central manufacturing site or at the point of care. Even though the reimbursement of CAR-T therapies represents a challenge for healthcare providers, insurers, and government agencies, they have successfully reached the majority of the markets by considering the patient pool demand. While determining the cost and reimbursement, various factors, such as pharmacoeconomic analysis and outcome-based responses, as well as the added value to society, have been evaluated. The CAR T-cell-related toxicity, such as the cytokine-release syndrome and neurotoxicity, remain important potential complications of this therapy. Second generation CAR T-cell therapies are emerging with more safety and efficacy to overcome these limitations. If these limitations have been overcome, these are going to be the potential drivers of the market. After CAR-T approval companies focused on developing alternative therapies to overcome CAR-Ts limitations. LUNSUMIO became the first bispecific antibody to get approval for adult patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma who have undergone two or more lines of systemic treatment in June 2022 in Europe. Later in December 2022, the US FDA approved it for the same indication. This was the game changing step toward a brighter future for follicular lymphoma patients. Bispecific antibodies are ready to use therapies and safer treatment options than CAR-Ts. In 2023, LUNSUMIO captured USD 55 million in revenue in the United States for follicular lymphoma. In the United States, AbbVie and Genmab's epcoritamab, marketed as EPKINLY, first gained FDA approval in May 2023 for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This was followed by its approval for follicular lymphoma in June 2024. With the recent FDA authorization for relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma, along with expected approvals and launches in international markets, EPKINLY is poised to see revenue growth in the coming quarters. Its strong performance in treating relapsed/refractory DLBCL suggests it could achieve similar success in follicular lymphoma. LUNSUMIO now faces competition in the European market for follicular lymphoma, as on August 19, 2024, the European Commission granted approval for the expanded use of AbbVie and Genmab's bispecific antibody, TEPKINLY (epcoritamab), for treating adults with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma. The study showed an overall response rate of 83% and a complete response rate of 63%, with the median response duration being 21.4 months. Just after TEPKINLY approval in Europe, Regeneron's ORDSPONO (odronextamab) a CD20 x CD3 bispecific antibody approved by European Commission on August 26, 2024 for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma or relapsed/refractory DLBCL, after two or more lines of systemic therapy. After this approval, ORDSPONO becomes the first off-the-shelf option that can be administered in the out-patient setting. In March 2024, the US FDA declined approval for odronextamab for treating follicular lymphoma and DLBCL. The agency issued two complete response letters concerning the biologics license application (BLA) for odronextamab in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma and DLBCL after two or more lines of systemic therapy. The denial was tied to the enrollment status of confirmatory trials assessing the drug. Importantly, there were no concerns raised about odronextamab's efficacy, safety, trial design, labeling, or manufacturing. Both EPKINLY, LUNSUMIO, and ORDSPONO are off-the-shelf therapies, offering greater accessibility compared to CD19 CAR-T treatments. These drugs will compete not only with each other but also with CAR-T therapies to secure a substantial portion of the follicular lymphoma market. Learn more about the FDA-approved follicular lymphoma drugs @ Drugs for Follicular Lymphoma Treatment A new class has also emerged for the treatment of follicular lymphoma, i.e., Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors. In November 2023, BeiGene received approval from the European Commission for BRUKINSA (zanubrutinib) to treat relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma. Later in March 2024, the US FDA approved BRUKINSA for the same indication. BRUKINSA is the first and only BTK inhibitor approved for this condition. To know more about follicular lymphoma treatment options, visit @ New Treatment for Follicular Lymphoma The follicular lymphoma pipeline is robust with so many companies working in the domain. Various potential therapies that are projected to enter during the forecast period include AbbVie's IMBRUVICA, Xynomic Pharmaceuticals' Abexinostat, Pfizer PF-06821497, Incyte's Parsaclisib, Bristol-Myers Squibb's Nivolumab, and others. Discover which therapies are expected to grab major follicular lymphoma market share @ Follicular Lymphoma Market Report IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib) is an anti-cancer medication available in various forms, including hard gelatin capsules, tablets, film-coated tablets, and oral suspension. It is being developed by AbbVie and is currently undergoing Phase III trials for follicular lymphoma. This study aims to determine if adding ibrutinib to the treatment will extend progression-free survival (PFS) compared to using rituximab alone in patients with newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma. Xynomic Pharmaceuticals is developing Abexinostat for treating follicular lymphoma. The company is currently testing this investigational drug in a Phase II clinical trial involving patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma who have received at least three prior therapies.

SEC Charges Ipsen Worker for Insider Trading Tied to $247M Epizyme Acquisition - MedCity News

Cancer is a big part of Ipsen’s growth strategy, evident in a series of business deals struck by the company in recent years to expand its oncology portfolio and drug pipeline. An Ipsen worker who allegedly profited from stock transactions based on non-public knowledge of his employer’s $247 million buyout of a cancer drug developer has now been charged with insider trading. The Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday filed a complaint against Ipsen employee Dishant Gupta. Gupta has agreed to plead guilty, according to a separate court filing. The monetary penalty has yet to be decided. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts has also filed criminal charges against Gupta for his alleged conduct. Paris-based Ipsen maintains U.S. operations in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In early 2022, Ipsen started talking with Epizyme about acquiring that Cambridge-based company’s drug, Tazverik, according to the SEC complaint. Tazverik won FDA approval in 2020 for the treatment of follicular lymphoma. Negotiations between Ipsen and Epizyme progressed from a potential acquisition of the cancer drug to a buyout of the entire biotech company. The Epizyme acquisition was announced on June 27, 2022. presented by Sponsored Post The Promise of Value-Based Care and MedTech Innovation Monica Vajani, Executive Director for mHUB’s MedTech Accelerator, discusses how mHUB is helping innovators transition healthcare towards value-based care. By Monica Vajani - mHUB Gupta lives in New Jersey and often worked from home, the SEC said in the complaint. He is director of data strategy and operations, a role that involves the marketing and strategic pricing of products. Through this position, Gupta allegedly learned about the market potential and marketing strategy for a drug that appeared to be Tazverik. In the months leading up to the acquisition announcement, the SEC said Gupta ran numerous internet searches using the phrases “Epizyme buyout” and “Epizyme takeover.” Nine days before the deal was announced, Gupta searched the phrase “Ipsen acquired Epizyme,” according to the complaint. While the companies negotiated the transaction, Gupta allegedly accumulated Epizyme shares. From April to June of 2022, the complaint notes that Gupta purchased Epizyme stock on 27 different days. “While Gupta built a position in Epizyme throughout this period, he was most aggressive in the weeks leading up to the announcement,” the SEC said in the complaint. “Specifically, between June 16, 2022, and June 24, 2022, Gupta purchased approximately 200,000 shares, spending nearly $160,000.” The acquisition announcement came in the early morning hours of June 27, timed to happen ahead of the stock market open in Europe. By 9:30 am Eastern time, Gupta had sold all of his Epizyme shares for a profit of $260,078.27, the SEC said. presented by Health Tech What’s Keeping Healthcare CIOs Up at Night: How to Improve Patient Satisfaction by Handling Calls More Efficiently Health systems have spent billions on portals while investments in modernizing the voice channel — the dominant preference of healthcare consumers — have taken a backseat. By Stephanie Baum The SEC complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, is case number 24-cv-12316. According to a court filing, Gupta has entered a written agreement to plead guilty to one count of securities fraud. He must give up the money he gained illegally and also pay a civil fine. Per terms of the plea, Gupta is barred from serving as am executive or director of any publicly traded company. The terms of this settlement are still subject to court approval. Oncology products are the biggest driver of revenue for Ipsen, accounting for more than €2.3 billion of the company’s €3.1 billion in 2023 sales. Besides the deal that brought the company Tazverik, Ipsen had acquired the approved Merrimack Pharmaceuticals pancreatic cancer drug, Onivyde. the company has also struck deals for programs still in development. In July, Ipsen reached an agreement for global rights to a Phase 1-ready antibody drug conjugate (ADC) from Foreseen Biotechnology. That deal followed the April acquisition of global rights to an ADC from Sutro Biopharma. Ipsen’s oncology interest extends to other types of drugs. In 2022, months after the Epizyme acquisition, Ipsen began a partnership with Marengo Therapeutics focused on the R&D of T cell receptor therapies for cancer.
