Trial summary

Rational, objective and design: Some cancer-protecting genes are inactivated when the EZH2 enzyme is too active or the SWI/SNF complex is less active. The EZH1/2 enzymes and the SWI/SNFs complex play opposing roles in gene expression: we hypothesize that valemetostat, an inhibitor of the EZH1/2 enzymes, will stop/slow… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open Label Phase II Platform Modular Study Exploring the Efficacy and Safety of the Valemetostat (EZH1/2 Inhibitor) in Patients With Selected Solid Tumors

Rational, objective and design: Some cancer-protecting genes are inactivated when the EZH2 enzyme is too active or the SWI/SNF complex is less active. The EZH1/2 enzymes and the SWI/SNFs complex play opposing roles in gene expression: we hypothesize that valemetostat, an inhibitor of the EZH1/2 enzymes, will stop/slow down the growth of cancer cells by reactivating these genes. Numerous clinical trials are currently underway worldwide to optimize the development of valemetostat tosylate and potentially offer a new targeted therapeutic option for patients suffering from various cancer pathologies.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of valemetostat on solid tumors, which have an alteration in certain genes: SMARC (B1/A4/A2/C1/C2), ARID (1A/1B), PBRM1, BAP1 and other SWI/SNF sub-units. The research will be conducted in two phases: 1) Pre-selection of patients with the desired alterations. 2) Treatment with valemetostat, 200mg/day, for a maximum of 2 years, with examinations every 28 days.

This is a multicenter, international, phase II open-label, multicenter modular study exploring the efficacy and safety of valemetostat. Module 1 will be the SWI/SNF basket monotherapy study describe below. Such design will allow the study to evolve considering signals for further monotherapy and/or combination modules.

The Primary endpoint of the study is Overall Response Rate at 24 weeks, defined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed best overall response.

Trial population: Adult patients with histologically/cytologically confirmed progressive metastatic or recurrent solid tumor, who have selected chromatin remodeling deficiency in at least one of the following genes: SMARCB1, SMARCA4, SMARCA2, SMARCC1, SMARCC2, ARID1A, ARID1B, PBRM1, BAP1and other SWI/SNF sub-units; or molecularly (Wildtype) and phenotypically-selected Clear cell endometrial or ovarian carcinoma cancers. Patients must be using an effective method of contraception and have signed the consent form. They must not participate in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 3 weeks, during the study treatment and not have a contraindication to the study treatment (…) Intervention: After confirmation by IHC of the loss of expression in tumors cells of SMARCB1, SMARCA4, SMARCA2, SMARCC1, SMARCC2, ARID1A, ARID1B, PBRM1, BAP1and other SWI/SNF sub-units and validation of inclusion/exclusion criteria patients will included in different cohorts (refer to investigation scheme). All patients will receive Valemetostat (200 mg per day), divided into 28-day periods called treatment cycles, for a maximum of two years. The main interventions scheduled are blood samples (to evaluate biological parameters and for translational research), electrocardiogram, echocardiography and CTscan. For patients who have consented, sequential biopsies will be performed as follow: at baseline, on treatment and at progression.

Ethical consideration: This research will make it possible to collectively evaluate the interest of EZH1/2 inhibitor in solids tumors with SWI/SNF defect. Individually, by participating in this research, patients could benefit from these treatments based on cell-based results and in the treatment of relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphomas, with an improvement in symptoms and quality of life. As with any research, the investigational drug and other procedures that take place may involve risks, some of which are already known and others not yet described. The main risks (described in the consent form) are side effects of the valemetostat. If they agree, patients will also be monitored more closely with their safety assessed through patient-reported outcomes (PRO), the evaluation of their experience through qualitative interviews \& assessment of quality of care and the evaluation of their biometric physiological via a wearable device.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Valemetostat Tosylate in people with Solid Tumor Malignancies and Clear Cell Endometrial Carcinoma, run by Gustave Roussy, Cancer Campus, Grand Paris at 4 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 32 inclusion and 36 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sophie Postel-Vinay, MD, PhD (+33142114343, SOPHIE.POSTEL-VINAY@gustaveroussy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the antitumor activity of valemetostat (time frame: From enrollment to visit at week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07303387.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Apr 2026.
