First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an EZH2 inhibitor to a subject in need thereof, wherein the NHL is primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), and wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of about 100 mg to about 3200 mg daily. 2. The method of claim 1 , Wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered orally. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is a human being. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is EPZ-6438 having the following formula: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of about 100 mg BID to about 1600 mg BID. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of about 100 mg BID, 200 mg BID, 400 mg BID, 800 mg BID, or about 1600 mg BID. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of 800 mg BID. 8. The method of claim 3 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PMBCL is relapsed or refractory to at least one prior therapy. 11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the PMBCL is multiply refractory. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered orally, wherein the subject is a human, and wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is EPZ-6438 having the following formula: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of about 100 mg BID to about 1600 mg BID. 14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of about 100 mg BID, 200 mg BID, 400 mg BID, 800 mg BID, or about 1600 mg BID. 15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of 800 mg BID. 16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered orally, wherein the subject is a human, and wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is EPZ-6438 having the following formula: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of about 100 mg BID to about 1600 mg BID. 18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of about 100 mg BID, 200 mg BID, 400 mg BID, 800 mg BID, or about 1600 mg BID. 19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the EZH2 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of 800 mg BID.
