Tazemetostat(TAZVERIK) shows significant efficacy and potential in the treatment of epithelioid sarcoma
Tazemetostat is an EZH2 inhibitor that blocks the growth and spread of lesion cells by inhibiting the activity of EZH2 enzymes. In recent years, Tazemetostat has shown significant efficacy and potential in the treatment of epithelioid sarcoma, especially in patients with metastatic or locally advanced epithelioid sarcoma that cannot be completely resected.
The mechanism of action of Tazemetostat
Tazemetostat selectively inhibits the activity of EZH2 enzymes and blocks the epigenetic regulation of lesion cells, thereby inhibiting the growth and spread of lesions. The EZH2 enzyme is overexpressed in many lesions, especially in epithelioid sarcoma, and the inhibitory effect of Tazemetostat can effectively slow the progression of the lesions.
Tazemetostat's indications
Tazemetostat is suitable for non-completely resectable metastatic or locally advanced epithelioid sarcoma in children and adults aged 16 years and older. It can also be used to treat recurrent or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL), especially in patients with positive EZH2 mutations.
Tazemetostat showed significant efficacy in the treatment of epithelioid sarcoma, but patients should pay attention to their possible side effects and related precautions when using it.
