Safety and efficacy of tazemetostat, an enhancer of zeste-homolog 2 inhibitor, in patients with relapsed or refractory malignant mesothelioma.

9058 Background: Breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1)-associated protein 1 (BAP1), a nuclear deubiquitinase, is commonly inactivated in malignant mesothelioma. Preclinical data showed that BAP1 inactivation sensitizes mesothelial cells to inhibition of enhancer of zeste-homolog 2 (EZH2), a methyltransferase implicated as an oncogenic driver in this tumor. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of tazemetostat (TAZ), a potent and selective EZH2...
