• Diagnosis: Histologically confirmed tumors at diagnosis or at relapse (as applicable):

• Stratum A

‣ Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (ATRT)

⁃ Other INI1- or SMARCA4-deficient primary CNS malignant tumors (with PI approval)

• Stratum B

‣ Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT)

⁃ Rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (RTK)

⁃ Epithelioid sarcoma

⁃ Chordoma (poorly differentiated or de-differentiated)

⁃ Other INI1- or SMARCA4-deficient malignant tumors (with PI approval)

• All subjects must have had tumor assessment at original diagnosis or relapse showing either of the following: Loss of INI1 confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) OR molecular confirmation of tumor bi-allelic SMARCB1 (INI1) loss or mutation when INI1 IHC is equivocal or unavailable

• Loss of SMARCA4 confirmed by IHC OR molecular confirmation of tumor SMARCA4 loss or mutation (with PI approval) Reports confirming these findings (including tumor sequencing if available) will be reviewed by the Sponsor-Investigator, PI or designee for approval of eligibility prior to enrollment.

• Treatment status: All subjects must have completed planned upfront treatment for their disease for strata A1 or B1. Subjects need not have relapsed or have refractory disease to be eligible for this protocol.

• Disease Status: For subjects under consideration for strata A1 or B1, subjects must have evaluable disease Note: Leptomeningeal lesions/disease are allowed as evaluable disease.

• For relapsed/refractory subjects under consideration for strata A2 or B2, subjects must have measurable disease as defined by RANO for stratum A2 or RECIST v1.1 for stratum B2. See Section 11.

• Note: the following do not qualify as measurable disease:

‣ malignant fluid collections (e.g., ascites, pleural effusions)

⁃ bone marrow infiltration

⁃ lesions only detected by nuclear medicine studies (e.g., bone, gallium or PET scans)

⁃ elevated tumor markers in plasma or CSF

⁃ previously irradiated lesions that have not demonstrated clear progression post- radiation therapy

⁃ leptomeningeal lesions that do not meet the measurement requirements for RANO.

• For subjects under consideration for strata A3 or B3, subjects must have no evidence of evaluable or measurable disease by exam or imaging.

• Pre-recurrent subjects to be enrolled in strata A1, B1, A3, or B3 must be enrolled within 8 weeks of completion of upfront therapy

• Age ≥ 6 months and ≤ 21years of age

• Karnofsky performance status ≥ 50% for subjects ≥16 years of age and Lansky performance status ≥ 50% for subjects \<16 years of age (see Appendix A). Note: Neurologic deficits in subjects with CNS tumors must have been stable for at least 7 days prior to study enrollment. Subjects who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are up in a wheelchair, will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the performance score.

• Life expectancy of greater than 2 months.

• Prior Therapy: Subjects must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior anti-cancer therapy. Subjects must meet the following minimum washout periods prior to first day of study treatment:

‣ Myelosuppressive chemotherapy: ≥21 days after the last dose of myelosuppressive chemotherapy.

⁃ Anti-cancer agents not known to be myelosuppressive (e.g. not associated with reduced platelet or ANC counts): ≥ 7 days after the last dose of the agent.

⁃ Small molecule biologic therapy: ≥7 days following the last dose of a non-monoclonal biologic agent.

⁃ Monoclonal antibody: ≥21 days after the last dose, and toxicity related to prior antibody therapy must be recovered to Grade ≤1.

⁃ Corticosteroids: If used to modify immune adverse events related to prior therapy, ≥ 14 days must have elapsed since last dose of corticosteroid. CNS subjects receiving corticosteroids for neurologic symptom relief must be at stable or decreasing doses for at least 7 days prior to the first day of study treatment. For all patients, corticosteroid doses of up to 0.12 mg/kg/day prednisone equivalent may be approved after consultation with the Principal Investigator.

⁃ Prior EZH2 inhibitor therapy: Subjects with relapsed/refractory disease (strata A2 and B2) may have received prior single agent tazemetostat or other EZH2 inhibitors for up to 1 year, but subjects without prior progression/relapse may NOT have received any prior EZH2 inhibitors.

‣ Bone Marrow Function

⁃ Absolute neutrophil count ≥1,000/uL

⁃ Hemoglobin ≥8 g/dL (may receive RBC transfusions)

⁃ Platelets: For non-relapsed subjects (Strata A1, A3, B1 or B3): \>75K/uL, For subjects with relapsed disease (Strata A2 or B2): \>50K/uL, For all subjects: must be platelet transfusion independent, defined as not receiving a platelet transfusion for at least 7 days prior to CBC documenting eligibility.

• Hepatic Function

‣ Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal for age.

⁃ ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT) ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal (for the purpose of this study, the ULN for ALT is 45 U/L)

• Renal Function: A serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows: Maximum Serum Creatinine (mg/dL)

‣ Male: 6 months to 1 year-0.5,1 to \< 2 years-0.6, 2 to \< 6 years-0.8, 6 to \< 10 years-1, 10 to \< 13 years-1.2,13 to \< 16 years- 1.5, ≥ 16 years 1.7

⁃ Female: 6 months to 1 year-0.5,1 to \< 2 years-0.6, 2 to \< 6 years-0.8, 6 to \< 10 years-1, 10 to \< 13 years-1.2,13 to \< 16 years- 1.4, ≥ 16 years1.4 OR

⁃ Creatinine clearance ≥ 70 mL/min/1.73 m2 for subjects with creatinine levels above institutional normal.

• Adequate Pulmonary Function defined as: No evidence of dyspnea at rest, no exercise intolerance due to pulmonary insufficient and a pulse oximetry \> 92% while breathing room air.

• \-- Adequate Neurologic Function defined as: Subjects with seizure disorder may be enrolled if on anticonvulsants and well controlled. Nervous system disorders (CTCAE v5.0) resulting from prior therapy must be ≤ Grade 2, with the exception of decreased tendon reflex (DTR). Any grade of DTR is eligible.

• Negative B-HCG pregnancy test (urine or serum) in females of childbearing potential.

• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) receiving the TAZNI combination agree to adhere to contraception for a period of 5 months after the last dose of either tazemetostat, nivolumab, or ipilimumab
