1. Indications and Usage

1.1 Epithelioid Sarcoma

TAZVERIK is indicated for the treatment of adults and pediatric patients aged 16 years and older with metastatic or locally advanced epithelioid sarcoma not eligible for complete resection.

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

1.2 Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma

  • TAZVERIK is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) whose tumors are positive for an EZH2 mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test and who have received at least 2 prior systemic therapies.
  • TAZVERIK is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with R/R FL who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.

These indications are approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. Continued approval for these indications may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

2. Dosage and Administration

2.1 Patient Selection

Select patients with R/R FL for treatment with TAZVERIK based on the presence of EZH2 mutation of codons Y646, A682, or A692 in tumor specimens [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of EZH2 mutation in relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.

2.2 Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage of TAZVERIK is 800 mg orally twice daily with or without food until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Swallow tablets whole. Do not cut, crush, or chew tablets.

Do not take an additional dose if a dose is missed or vomiting occurs after TAZVERIK, but continue with the next scheduled dose.
