Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Tazmetostat in combination with rituximab
Tazemetostat 800 mg BID is administered daily starting on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1). Tazemetostat will be administered from C1D1 to the end of Cycle 24, for 24 months of therapy or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Rituximab will be administered by either subcutaneous injection or IV infusion according to the regional product prescribing information, labeling and institutional guidelines. Rituximab will be administered at a dose of 375 mg/m2 on Day 1, 8, 15, and 22 of Cycle 1, and then on Day 1 of Cycles 3 through 6, accounting for an additional 4 doses, i.e., a total of 8 doses of rituximab in 6 cycles.
