Claims69
A method of treating a solid tumor, B cell lymphoma, or a cancer with aberrant H3-K27 methylation, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said therapeutically effective amount is a single dose to provide a mean AUC(0-12) bioequivalent to a mean AUC(0-12) of from about 337 ng*hr/ml to about 18882 ng*hr/ml after administration to the subject.
A method of treating an advanced solid tumor, B cell lymphoma, or a cancer with aberrant H3-K27 methylation, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said therapeutically effective amount is a single dose to provide a mean AUC(0-12) bioequivalent to a mean AUC(0-12) of from about 4 ng*hr/ml to about 12 ng*hr/ml for each 1 mg of EPZ-6438.
A method of treating an advanced solid tumor, B cell lymphoma, or a cancer with aberrant H3-K27 methylation, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said therapeutically effective amount provides a mean Cmax bioequivalent to a mean Cmax of from about 102 ng/ml to about 4125 ng/ml.
A method of treating an advanced solid tumor, B cell lymphoma, or a cancer with aberrant H3-K27 methylation, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said therapeutically effective amount is a single dose to provide a mean Cmax bioequivalent to a mean Cmax of from about 1.2 ng/ml to about 2.6 ng/ml for each 1 mg of EPZ-6438.
A method of treating a solid tumor, B cell lymphoma, or a cancer with aberrant H3-K27 methylation, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said therapeutically effective amount provides a median Tmax of from about 1 hour to about 2 hours.
The method of any of preceding claims, wherein said administering comprises administering orally a dosage form to the subject, twice per day or three times per day.
A method of inhibiting histone methyltransferase activity of EZH2 or a mutant thereof, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said therapeutically effective amount provides a mean AUC(0-12) of at least about 4421 ng*hr/ml after administration to the subject.
The method of inhibiting histone methyltransferase activity of EZH2 or a mutant thereof, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said therapeutically effective amount is a single dose to provide a mean AUC(0-12) bioequivalent to a mean AUC(0-12) of from about 1720 ng*hr/ml to about 18882 ng*hr/ml after administration to the subject.
The method of inhibiting histone methyltransferase activity of EZH2 or a mutant thereof, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said therapeutically effective amount is a single dose to provide a mean AUC(0-12) bioequivalent to a mean AUC(0-12) of from about 4 ng*hr/ml to about 12 ng*hr/ml for each 1 mg of EPZ-6438.
The method of inhibiting histone methyltransferase activity of EZH2 or a mutant thereof, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said single dose provides a mean Cmax bioequivalent to a mean Cmax of from about 102 ng/ml to about 4125 ng/ml.
The method of inhibiting histone methyltransferase activity of EZH2 or a mutant thereof, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said therapeutically effective amount is a single dose to provide a mean Cmax bioequivalent to a mean Cmax of from about 1.2 ng/ml to about 2.6 ng/ml for each 1 mg of EPZ-6438.
The method of claim 31, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said therapeutically effective amount is a single 800 mg dose, wherein said single dose provides a mean Cmax bioequivalent to a mean Cmax of from about 1730 ng/ml to about 2063 ng/ml.
The method of inhibiting histone methyltransferase activity of EZH2 or a mutant thereof, comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a dosage form with a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, wherein said therapeutically effective amount provides a median Tmax of from about 1 hour to about 2 hours.
An oral dosage form for treating a solid tumor, B cell lymphoma, or a cancer with aberrant H3-K27 methylation, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient, wherein said therapeutically effective amount is a single dose to provide a mean AUC(0-12) bioequivalent to a mean AUC(0-12) of from about 102 ng*hr/ml to about 18882 ng*hr/ml after administration to a human subject.
An oral dosage form for treating an advanced solid tumor or B cell lymphoma, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient, wherein said therapeutically effective amount is a single dose to provide a mean AUC(0-12) bioequivalent to a mean AUC(0-12) of from about 4 ng*hr/ml to about 12 ng*hr/ml for each 1 mg of EPZ-6438.
The dosage form for treating an advanced solid tumor or B cell lymphoma, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient, wherein said therapeutically effective amount provides a mean Cmax bioequivalent to a mean Cmax of from about 102 ng/ml to about 4125 ng/ml.
The dosage form for treating an advanced solid tumor or B cell lymphoma, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of EPZ-6438, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient, wherein said therapeutically effective amount is a single dose to provides a mean Cmax bioequivalent to a mean Cmax of from about 1.2 ng/ml to about 2.6 ng/ml for each 1 mg of EPZ-6438.
