Induction Chemotherapy and Tazemetostat for Locally Advanced SMARCB1-deficient Sinonasal Carcinoma
30 participantsStarted 2023-09-01
Plain-language summary
SMARCB1-deficient sinonasal carcinoma is very locally advanced malignancy at diagnosis which often precluded upfront radical resection. The investigators are now proposing a phase II single-arm study on tazemetostat in combination with docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-FU (known as TPF regimen) as preoperative therapy for locally advanced non-metastatic SMARCB1 (INI-1)-deficient sinonasal carcinoma, followed by radical resection and/or post-operative radiation therapy (with or without concurrent chemotherapy), and tazemetostat for another 6 months. It is hypothesized that addition of tazemetostat will improve objective response rate, resectability rate, orbit preservation rate after surgery, and hopefully survival outcomes with manageable safety profiles.

Inclusion criteria
. Males or females are \>18 years of age with body weight ≥40kg at the time of providing voluntary written informed consent.
. Voluntarily sign the written informed consent and demonstrated willingness and ability to comply with all aspects of the protocol which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF), and undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up during the study period,
. For subjects who have experienced any clinically significant toxicity related to a prior anticancer treatment (i.e., chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and/or radiotherapy): at the time the subject provides voluntary written informed consent, all toxicities have either resolved to grade 1 per NCI CTCAE Version 5.0 OR are clinically stable and no longer clinically significant.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
