ESCAT: clinical review pendingBIO-SMARCB1	SMARCB1/INI1 biallelic loss-of-function — confirmed by loss of INI1 nuclear expression on IHC (BAF47/INI1 antibody); NGS/FISH for deletion confirmation optional	IA	Standard care SRC-EZH202-GOUNDER-2020: Level B (Supports, Sensitivity/Response) SRC-NCCN-SARCOMA: Level Category 2A (Supports, Sensitivity/Response) SRC-ESMO-SARCOMA-2024: Level B (Supports, Sensitivity/Response)	Tazemetostat (EPZ-6438), an EZH2 methyltransferase inhibitor, is FDA-approved (January 2020) for adults and pediatric patients (≥16 years) with metastatic or locally advanced epithelioid sarcoma not eligible for complete resection. This was the first FDA approval in this disease and the first EZH2-targeted approval in solid tumors. EZH-202 phase II (Gounder et al., Lancet Oncology 2020): N=62 evaluable; primary endpoint ORR by RECIST 1.1. ORR: 15% (9/62; 1 CR, 8 PR); clinical benefit rate (CR+PR+SD ≥32 weeks): 26%. mDOR in responders: not reached at time of analysis. Disease control rate: ~26% with durable SD. Safety profile: generally well-tolerated; rare secondary T-cell lymphoma risk (class-wide EZH2 inhibitor concern); myeloid malignancy risk with long-term use (monitoring recommended). INI1 loss (IHC) is the companion diagnostic — required for diagnosis and eligibility. Standard chemotherapy (doxorubicin-based) remains an option for fit patients with rapidly progressive disease; tazemetostat preferred for slow-growing/indolent course.	tazemetostat 800 mg PO BID continuously (no food restriction; 28-day cycles; continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity)	SRC-EZH202-GOUNDER-2020 SRC-NCCN-SARCOMA SRC-ESMO-SARCOMA-2024

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity

Standard plan (IND-EPITHELIOID-SARCOMA-1L-TAZEMETOSTAT)

Do NOT prescribe without confirmed SMARCB1/INI1 loss by IHC — mandatory eligibility criterion
Do NOT combine with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors without dose reduction (reduce to 400 mg BID)
Do NOT ignore secondary malignancy risk — T-LBL/AML reported in pediatric sarcoma trials
Do NOT prescribe in pregnancy — embryo-fetal toxicity
