11. Has adequate hematologic (bone marrow and coagulation factors), renal, and hepatic function as defined by criteria below:
* Hemoglobin ≥9 mg/dL
* Platelets ≥100,000/mm3 (≥100 × 109/L) without platelet transfusion for 7 days
* ANC ≥1000/mm3 (≥1.0 × 109/L) without growth factor support for 14 days

12. Has a QT interval corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) ≤480 msec
13. Willing to provide tissue for translational research
14. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study drug; if the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required and subject also should agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with screening through 30 days after the last dose of study therapy (if sexually active).
15. Male subjects should agree to use condoms starting with the first dose of study therapy through 30 days after the last dose of study therapy if sexually active with a female of childbearing potential
You may not be if
1. Has had prior exposure to tazemetostat or other inhibitor(s) of enhancer of zeste homologue-2 (EZH2)
2. Has a history of known central nervous system metastasis
3. Has had a prior malignancy other than the malignancies under study Exception: A subject who has been disease-free for 5 years, or a subject with a history of a completely resected non-melanoma skin cancer or successfully treated in situ carcinoma is eligible.
4. Has had major surgery within 3 weeks prior to enrollment (a percutaneous biopsy, pleural catheter insertion, placement of central venous catheter or other minor procedure are permitted)
5. Is unwilling to exclude grapefruit juice, Seville oranges and grapefruit from the diet and all foods that contain those fruits from time of enrollment throughout their time on study
6. Has cardiovascular impairment, history of congestive heart failure greater than NYHA Class II, uncontrolled arterial hypertension, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or stroke within 6 months prior to the planned first dose of tazemetostat; or ventricular cardiac arrhythmia requiring medical treatment
7. Is currently taking any prohibited medication(s)
8. Has an active infection requiring systemic treatment
9. Has a congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, including subjects with known history of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) NOTE: HIV-positive subjects who are taking antiretroviral therapy are ineligible due to potential PK interactions with tazemetostat.
10. Has known history of chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (hepatitis B surface antigen positive) or hepatitis C virus (detectable anti-hepatitis C circulating viral RNA)
11. Has had a deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism within the 3 months prior to study enrollment.
NOTE: Subjects with a history of a DVT or pulmonary embolism \>3 months prior to study enrollment who are on anticoagulation therapy with low molecular weight heparin are eligible for this study.
