Reviewer's view of the efficacy data
FDA: all expected nonclinical studies completed for advanced cancer; no outstanding pharmacology/toxicology issues
“Epizyme has completed all expected nonclinical studies to support the development and approval of a drug intended for the treatment of patients with advanced cancer. The toxicology studies appear adequately designed to demonstrate the toxicity of the drug. There are no outstanding issues from a pharmacology/toxicology perspective that would prevent approval of tazemetostat for the treatment of the proposed patient population.”
