Brief summary

The study design included an open-label, dose escalation phase followed by a blinded, randomized phase, which combined epacadostat (an oral IDO1 inhibitor) with an approved therapy and compared to approved therapy plus placebo in metastatic melanoma patients. Only Phase 1 of the study, dose escalation phase, was conducted. The study was terminated due to a business decision.

Inclusion criteria

* Male or female subjects, aged 18 years or older with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. * A life expectancy of \>12 weeks. * Laboratory ranges and medical criteria met, as defined within the protocol. * Subject may have received more than 1 prior regimen of systematic treatment for unresectable or metastatic melanoma. * For Phase 2 period of the study only, Subjects must have archival tumor tissue available and collected with the prior 6 months or accessible disease for pre-treatment, study biopsy.

Exclusion criteria

* Pregnant or nursing women. * Current investigational trial participation with another investigational product or subjects who have received any anticancer medications within 21 days prior to screening (6 weeks for mitomycin-C or nitrosoureas.) * Subjects receiving monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI)s; subjects who have ever had Serotonin Syndrome after receiving one or more serotonergic drugs. * Subjects who have received prior immune checkpoint inhibitors (eg anti-CTLA-4, anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1), anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and others) who have had Grade 3 or 4 hepatotoxicity, immune colitis requiring infliximab, endocrine toxicity not controlled by replacement, any other Grade 4 immune adverse events (AEs) or ocular toxicity * Subjects with protocol-specified active autoimmune process except vitiligo or thyroiditis. * Subjects with concurrent conditions that would jeopardize the safety of the safety of the subject or compliance with the protocol.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Phase 1: Number of patients with adverse events as a measure of Safety and Tolerability.Baseline and minimally every 3 weeks until discontinuation or death (estimated timeframe to be 29 months from first patient enrolled to last patient discontinued or dead).
Phase 2: Overall survival.Measured every 4 weeks until the 50th death occurs, then follow-up is measured every 3 months (estimated timeframe to be 29 months from first patient enrolled to last patient death).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Preliminary efficacy as assessed by tumor response.Baseline and every nine weeks (3 cycles) thereafter (estimated timeframe is that each patient will be on study for 11 months).
Evaluation of progression free survival.Measured every 4 weeks until the 50th death occurs, then follow-up is measured every 3 months (estimated timeframe is that patients will progress after 11 months).
