Study Summary

This is a multicenter, prospective, single arm, non-randomized, open-label, phase 2 clinical study to evaluate safety and efficacy of valemetostat tosylate (DS-3201b) in patients with relapsed or refractory B cell lymphoma with 6 cohorts of patients including 2 biology-driven cohorts. Up to 141 patients will be enrolled in 6 different cohorts (40 patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma, 41 with follicular lymphoma (FL), 20 with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) and 20 with other indolent lymphomas, and 20 patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)). FL patients with EZH2 mutant (gain of function mutations) will be enrolled in the cohort 2bis. At least 8 aggressive B-cell lymphoma patients with EZH2 mutant will be enrolled in the cohort 1. The primary endpoint is the overall response rate (ORR) determined by investigator assessment.
