Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
FL with EZH2 gene mutation	Tazemetostat	Participants with follicular lymphoma (FL) with the EZH2 gene mutation will receive oral tazemetostat at a starting dose of 800 milligrams (mg) twice daily (1600 mg total daily dose) by continuous regimen, no less than 8 hours between doses.
DLBCL with EZH2 gene mutation	Tazemetostat	Participants with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with the EZH2 gene mutation will receive oral tazemetostat at a starting dose of 800 mg twice daily (1600 mg total daily dose) by continuous regimen, no less than 8 hours between doses.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Objective Response Rate (ORR) Based on Independent Reviewer Assessment	From date of first dose of study drug administration to date of PD or death, whichever occurred first (up to 3 years 4 months)	ORR was defined as percentage of participants with confirmed best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using independent reviewer assessment based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. BOR of CR and PR was confirmed by a subsequent CR assessment and CR or PR assessment. CR: disappearance of all measurable, non-measurable lesions and no unequivocal new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to less than (\<) 10 millimeter (mm). PR: at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD and there are no unequivocal new lesions, and no progression of non-target disease. The 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated by Clopper-Pearson method.
ORR Based on Investigator Assessment	From date of first dose of study drug administration to date of PD or death, whichever occurred first (up to 3 years 4 months)	ORR was defined as percentage of participants with confirmed BOR of CR or PR using investigator assessment based on RECIST 1.1. BOR of CR and PR was confirmed by a subsequent CR assessment and CR or PR assessment. CR: disappearance of all measurable, non-measurable lesions and no unequivocal new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis \<10 mm. PR: at least a 30% decrease in SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD and there are no unequivocal new lesions, and no progression of non-target disease. The 2-sided 95% CI was calculated by Clopper-Pearson method.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression-free Survival (PFS) Based on Independent Reviewer Assessment	From date of first dose of study drug administration to date of PD or death, whichever occurred first (up to 3 years 4 months)	PFS was assessed by independent reviewer assessment based on RECIST 1.1. PFS was defined as the time from the date of the first dose of study drug to the date of the first documentation of PD or death, whichever occurred first. PD for target lesion, a minimum 20% increase and a minimum 5 mm absolute increase in SOD compared to nadir, or PD for non-target lesion(s) or unequivocal new lesion(s). Nadir: Lowest measure SOD of target lesion at any time point from baseline onward. The 95% CI was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimate.
PFS Based on Investigator Assessment	From date of first dose of study drug administration to date of PD or death, whichever occurred first (up to 3 years 4 months)	PFS was assessed by investigator assessment based on RECIST 1.1. PFS was defined as the time from the date of the first dose of study drug to the date of the first documentation of PD or death, whichever occurred first. PD for target lesion, a minimum 20% increase and a minimum 5 mm absolute increase in SOD compared to nadir, or PD for non-target lesion(s) or unequivocal new lesion(s). Nadir: Lowest measure SOD of target lesion at any time point from baseline onward. The 95% CI was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimate.
Duration of Response (DOR) Based on Independent Reviewer Assessment	From the date of first confirmed objective response (OR) to PD or death due to confirmed PR or CR (up to 3 years 4 months)	DOR: time from date of confirmation of the first response and the date of confirmation of the PD using independent reviewer assessment as per RECIST 1.1. BOR of CR and PR was confirmed by subsequent CR assessment and CR or PR assessment, respectively at least 4 weeks later. CR: disappearance of all measurable, non-measurable lesions and no unequivocal new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes had to be reduced in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: at least 30% decrease in SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD, there are no unequivocal new lesions, and no progression of non-target disease. PD for target lesion, a minimum 20% increase and a minimum 5mm absolute increase in SOD compared to nadir, or PD for non-target lesions or unequivocal new lesions. Nadir: Lowest measure SOD of target lesions at any time point from baseline onward. The 95% CI was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimate.
Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	From the first dose of study drug to 30 days after the last dose (up to 3 years 5 months)	TEAE is defined as an AE that emerged during time from the first dose of study drug to 30 days after the participant's last dose. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in participant administered with an investigational product. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death; life threatening; requires participant hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect (in the child of a participant who was exposed to the study drug).
DOR Based on Investigator Assessment	From the date of first confirmed OR to PD or death due to any cause for those participants with a confirmed PR or CR (up to 3 years 4 months)	DOR: time from date of confirmation of the first response and the date of confirmation of the PD using independent reviewer assessment as per RECIST 1.1. BOR of CR and PR was confirmed by subsequent CR assessment and CR or PR assessment, respectively at least 4 weeks later. CR: disappearance of all measurable, non-measurable lesions and no unequivocal new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes had to be reduced in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: at least 30% decrease in SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD, there are no unequivocal new lesions, and no progression of non-target disease. PD for target lesion, a minimum 20% increase and a minimum 5mm absolute increase in SOD compared to nadir, or PD for non-target lesions or unequivocal new lesions. Nadir: Lowest measure SOD of target lesions at any time point from baseline onward. The 95% CI was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimate.
Time to Response (TTR) Based on Independent Reviewer Assessment	From the date of first dose until date of first observation of CR or PR (up to 3 years 4 months)	TTR was defined as the time from the first dose of the study drug to date of first observation of CR or PR using independent reviewer assessment based on RECIST 1.1. CR: disappearance of all measurable, non-measurable lesions and no unequivocal new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: at least a 30% decrease in SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD and there are no unequivocal new lesions, and no progression of non-target disease.
TTR Based on Investigator Assessment	From the date of first dose until date of first observation of CR or PR (up to 3 years 4 months)	TTR was defined as the time from the first dose of the study drug to date of first observation of CR or PR using investigator assessment based on RECIST 1.1. CR: disappearance of all measurable, non-measurable lesions and no unequivocal new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: at least a 30% decrease in SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD and there are no unequivocal new lesions, and no progression of non-target disease.
