Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of Grade 3 or Higher Treatment-Related Toxicity
All grade 3 or higher adverse events (AE) with treatment attribution of possibly, probably or definite based on CTCAE v5 as reported on case report forms will be counted. Incidence is the number of patients experiencing at least one treatment-related grade 3 or higher AE of any type during the time of observation.
Maximal Tolerated Dose (MTD)
The MTD defined as the dose level associated with observed DLTs in <33% of enrolled subjects. The DLT assessment will be restricted to the first cycle.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Recommended Pediatric Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
The objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST 1.1 or RANO criteria on treatment. Per RECIST 1.1 for target lesions: CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions.
Median Overall Survival (OS)
OS based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the time from study entry to death or censored at date last known alive.
Median Progression-free survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the duration of time from study entry to documented disease progression (PD) or death. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria: progressive disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PD for the evaluation of non-target lesions is the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This research study involves a combination of three drugs given together as a possible treatment for malignant rhabdoid tumor, atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor, epithelioid sarcoma, chordoma or other tumors that are deficient in one of two possible proteins, either INI-1 (SMARCB1) or SMARCA4. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: Tazemetostat (TAZVERIK) Nivolumab (OPDIVO) Ipilimumab (YERVOY)
Detailed Description
This research study involves a combination of three drugs given together as a possible treatment for these types of cancers. One drug is small molecule inhibitor targeting EZH2 (tazemetostat) and two are immunotherapeutic checkpoint inhibitors (nivolumab and ipilimumab). This is a Phase I/II clinical trial. Phase I clinical trials test the safety of an investigational drug, or combination of drugs, and tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drugs to use for further studies. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug, or drug combination, to learn whether the drug or drug combination works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the drug combination is being studied. This trial is studying the combination of tazemetostat, nivolumab, and ipilimumab in two parts: Part 1: To find the safest dose of these three study drugs in combination for children with INI1- (or SMARCA4-) negative cancers who have completed upfront treatment Part 2: To determine whether this combination can effectively treat INI1- or SMARCA4-negative cancers The research study procedures include screening for eligibility study treatment, evaluation and follow-up visits. Participants will be asked to provide blood samples and undergo procedures that might be different from a regular medical examination. There are additional research samples that participants will be asked to consent for their collection. Participants will receive study treatment for up to 2 years, as long as there is benefit or there are no serious side effects. Participants will be followed for approximately 2 years after stopping treatment. It is expected that about 49 people will take part in this research study. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved this combination of three drugs for this specific disease. However, tazemetostat has been approved for use in epithelioid sarcoma (an INI1-deficient tumor), and the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab has also been approved for other uses. Separately, tazemetostat and the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab have also been tested in children and the safest doses of each drug (and the combination for nivolumab and ipilimumab) have been determined. Bristol-Myers Squibb and Epizyme, two pharmaceutical companies, are supporting this study by providing the study drugs. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is also supporting this study by providing funding.

Adequate Pulmonary Function defined as: No evidence of dyspnea at rest, no exercise intolerance due to pulmonary insufficient and a pulse oximetry > 92% while breathing room air. -- Adequate Neurologic Function defined as: Subjects with seizure disorder may be enrolled if on anticonvulsants and well controlled. 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. Negative B-HCG pregnancy test (urine or serum) in females of childbearing potential. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) receiving the TAZNI combination agree to adhere to contraception for a period of 5 months after the last dose of either tazemetostat, nivolumab, or ipilimumab Men receiving the TAZNI combination and who are sexually active with WOCBP will agree to adhere to barrier contraception for a period of 3 months after the last dose of either tazemetostat, nivolumab or ipilimumab. Ability to understand and/or the willingness of the subject (or parent or legally authorized representative, if minor) to provide informed consent, documented using an institutionally approved informed consent procedure. Exclusion Criteria: Concomitant Medications Subjects who are receiving any other investigational agents or other anti-cancer agents are not eligible. CYP3A4 Agents: Subjects who are currently receiving drugs that are strong or moderate inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4 are not eligible. Such inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4 are prohibited from 14 days prior to the first dose of tazemetostat to the end of the study. See Appendix C for a list of agents. Note:Dexamethasone for CNS tumors or metastases, on a stable or decreasing dose, is allowed up to 0.12mg/kg/day prednisone equivalents. Subjects with a known history of HIV, hepatitis B, and/or hepatitis C (testing not required as part of screening). Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection or any other concurrent disease which in the judgment of the Investigator would make the subject inappropriate for enrollment on this study. Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis. Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 12 months, or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease, or a syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents. Subjects with vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy are exceptions. Intermittent use of bronchodilators or local steroid injections are not excluded. Replacement therapy (e.g. thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment. Autoimmune diagnoses not listed must be approved by the Principal Investigator. On screening CBC differential, subjects must not have any significant morphologic abnormalities concerning for MPN/MDS or ALL. Subjects must not have any prior history of myeloid malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or prior history of lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) or leukemia (ALL). Subjects who have received prior solid organ transplantation are not eligible. Pregnancy or Breast-Feeding: Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as there is yet no available information regarding human fetal or teratogenic toxicities. Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2 or anti-CTLA4 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (e.g. OX40, CD137). Subjects who have received live / attenuated vaccine within 30 days of first dose of study treatment. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to tazemetostat or Orasweet. Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study are not eligible.
