Note: Carcinomas of the nasopharynx, salivary gland, or nonsquamous cell histology are excluded. • Must have received prior treatment with a platinum-based therapy. Subjects who relapsed within 6 months of adjuvant therapy, including a platinum-containing regimen, may enroll. • Must have documented human papilloma virus status. Subjects with melanoma: • Histologically or cytologically confirmed melanoma. • Unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma, as per American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system not amenable to local therapy. • Documentation of V600-activating BRAF mutation status or consent to BRAF. • V600 mutation testing during the screening period. • Must not have ocular melanoma. Subjects with urothelial carcinoma: • Histologically or cytologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder, or urethra that is transitional cell or mixed transitional/nontransitional (predominantly transitional) cell type. • Stage IV locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (according to American Joint Committee on Cancer 7th edition guidelines) with disease progression during or after PD-1 pathway-tar

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • Part 1: To evaluate the safety and tolerability and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD; or the maximum tested dose) of the combination in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. • Part 2: To evaluate the efficacy of the combination in subjects with previously treated Stage IIIB or Stage IV non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Stage IV microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC), and other select solid tumors by assessing the objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 at the MTD or maximum tested dose.;Secondary Objective: • Part 1: To evaluate the efficacy of the combination in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors by assessing ORR per RECIST v1.1 at the MTD or maximum tested dose. • Part 2: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the MTD or maximum tested dose of the combination in subjects with previously treated Stage IIIB or Stage IV NSCLC, Stage IV MSS CRC, and other select solid tumors. Parts 1 and 2: •To evaluate changes in T-cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment with the combination treatment in advanced or metastatic solid tumors and previously treated Stage IIIB or Stage IV NSCLC and Stage IV MSS CRC. • To evaluate the efficacy of the combination in advanced or metastatic solid tumors and previously treated Stage IIIB or Stage IV NSCLC and Stage IV MSS CRC by assessing PFS. • To evaluate the efficacy of the combination in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors and previously treated Stage IIIB or Stage IV NSCLC and Stage IV MSS CRC by assessing DOR.;Primary end point(s): • Part 1: Safety and tolerability will be assessed by monitoring the frequency, duration, and severity of adverse events (AEs); through physical examinations; by evaluating changes in vital signs and electrocardiograms (ECGs); and through clinical laboratory blood and urine sample evaluations. • Part 2: Objective response rate, defined as the percentage of subjects having a complete response (CR) or parti

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary Endpoints: • Part 1: Objective response rate, defined as the percentage of subjects having a CR or PR, will be determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease as per RECIST v1.1. • Part 2: Safety and tolerability will be assessed by monitoring the frequency, duration, and severity of AEs; through physical examinations; by evaluating changes in vital signs and ECGs; and through clinical laboratory blood and urine sample evaluations. • Parts 1 and 2: Percentage of responders, where a responder is defined as an increase in the number of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TILs) or the ratio of CD8+ lymphocytes to T regulatory cells [Tregs] infiltrating tumor post-treatment versus pretreatment with pembrolizumab and epacadostat in combination with azacitidine evaluated by immunohistochemistry, will be determined. • Parts 1 and 2: Progression-free survival, defined as the time from date of first dose of study drug until the earliest date of disease progression, will be determined by investigator assessment of objective radiographic disease assessments per RECIST v1.1, or death due to any cause, if occurring sooner than progression. • Parts 1 and 2: Duration of response determined by radiographic disease assessment, defined as the time from earliest date of disease response until the earliest date of disease progression per RECIST v1.1, or death due to any cause, if occurring sooner than progression, will be determined. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Throughout the trial the duration of response and duration of disease control
