example

[0158] In order that the invention disclosed herein may be more effectively understood, the following examples are provided. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the disclosure in any way.

example 1

[0159] Example 1: Treatment of SMARCA4-negative MRTO / SCCOHT with tazemetostat

[0160] A 27-year-old human female diagnosed with SMARCA4-negative MRTO / SCCOHT was successfully treated with oral tablet twice-daily (BID) administration of 1600 mg EPIZ-6438 (Tazemetostat). Tumor size decreased from baseline after 8 weeks of treatment and further decreased from 8-week measurements after 16 weeks of treatment.

[0161] The subject was diagnosed with SMARCA4-negative MRTO / SCCOHT in 2013. Throughout 2014, subjects were treated with a course of cisplatin / cyclophosphamide / doxorubicin / etoposide followed by a course of carboplatin / etoposide / cyclophosphamide. None of the treatments were successful. The subject then underwent autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation, which also failed to treat SMARCA4-negative MRTO / SCCOHT.

[0162] Subjects are currently undergoing therapy with 1600 mg tazemetostat administered twice daily (BID) with oral tablets. Figure 6A Preliminary results are...

example 2

[0163] Example 2: Remission of INI1 and SMARCA4 negative tumors

[0164] Treatment of INI1 and SMARCA4-negative tumors with tazemetostat induces pharmacodynamic inhibition of HeK27me3 in tumor tissues.

[0165] Evaluation of MRT and MRTO / SCCOHT clinical activity after tazemetostat treatment showed stable disease for at least 6 months, partial response or complete response.

Abstract

The disclosure provides a method of treating a malignant rhabdoid tumor in a subject in need thereof including administering to the subject a therapeutically-effective amount of an enhancer of a zestehomolog 2 (EZH2) inhibitor. In certain embodiments of this method the malignant rhabdoid tumor is small cell cancer of the ovary of the hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) and the EZH2 inhibitor is tazemetostat (also known as Tazemetostat).
