This is a Phase 1/2, open label study. Phase 1 consists of 2 parts. Part 1 is a dose-escalation assessment of the safety and tolerability of epacadostat administered with nivolumab in subjects with select advanced solid tumors and lymphomas. Part 2 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of epacadostat in combination with nivolumab and chemotherapy in subjects with squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Phase 2 will include expansion cohorts in 7 tumor types, including melanoma, NSCLC, SCCHN, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, glioblastoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Experimental: (Phase 1, Part 1) : Nivolumab + Epacadostat |
Drug: Nivolumab (Phase 1)
specified dose and dosing schedule Drug: Epacadostat (Phase 1) oral twice daily continuous at the protocol-defined dose |
Experimental: (Phase 2): Nivolumab + Epacadostat |
Drug: Nivolumab (Phase 2)
specified dose and dosing schedule Drug: Epacadostat (Phase 2) oral twice daily continuous at the protocol-defined dose |
Experimental: (Phase 1, Part 2): Nivolumab + Epacadostat + Chemotherapy |

- Phase 1, Part 1: Safety and tolerability of epacadostat and nivolumab assessed by number of subjects with dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) [ Time Frame: 42 days ]A DLT was defined as the occurrence of any of the toxicities occurring up to and including Day 42 in Phase 1 Parts 1 and 2.
- Phase 1, Part 2: Safety and tolerability of epacadostat administered in combination with nivolumab and chemotherapy regimen assessed by number of subjects with DLTs [ Time Frame: 42 days ]A DLT was defined as the occurrence of any of the toxicities occurring up to and including Day 42 in Phase 1 Parts 1 and 2.
- Phase 1, Part 1 and 2: Safety assessed by the frequency of adverse events, serious adverse events, and deaths [ Time Frame: From study start up to clinical data cut-off date of 01 Feb 2019 ]A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is any AE either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug and up to 100 days after last dose of study drug.
- Phase 2: Objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 for subjects with solid tumors and per Cheson criteria for subjects with DLBCL [ Time Frame: Response is assessed every 8 weeks up to 6 months ]ORR was defined as the percentage of participants having a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, Cheson criteria for DLBCL and RANO criteria for Glioblastoma.
- Phase 2: Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Response is assessed every 8 weeks up to 6 months ]PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease per RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Phase 2: Overall survival (OS) for subjects with Glioblatoma [ Time Frame: Subjects will be followed-up for survival every 12 weeks for a minimum of 9 months. ]Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of the first dose of study treatment to death due to any cause.
- Phase 1, Part 1: ORR per RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST for subjects with solid tumors; per Cheson and mCheson criteria for subjects with B-cell NHL; and per RANO and mRANO criteria for subjects with GBM [ Time Frame: Response will be assessed every 8 weeks during study participation which is estimated to be a minimum of 6 months. ]
- Phase 1, Part 2: ORR per RECIST v1.1 and modified RECIST for subjects with advanced or metastatic SCCHN and advanced or metastatic NSCLC [ Time Frame: Response will be assessed every 8 weeks during study participation which is estimated to be a minimum of 6 months. ]
- Phase 1, Part 2: Duration of response (DOR) for subjects with advanced or metastatic SCCHN and advanced or metastatic NSCLC [ Time Frame: Response will be assessed every 8 weeks during study participation which is estimated to be a minimum of 6 months. ]
- Phase 1, Part 2: PFS for subjects with advanced or metastatic SCCHN and advanced or metastatic NSCLC [ Time Frame: Response will be assessed every 8 weeks during study participation which is estimated to be a minimum of 6 months. ]
- Phase 2: Duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Response will be assessed every 8 weeks during study participation which is estimated to be a minimum of 6 months. ]
- Phase 2: Duration of disease control, defined as CR, PR, and stable disease (SD) [ Time Frame: Response will be assessed every 8 weeks during study participation which is estimated to be a minimum of 6 months. ]
- Phase 2: Safety and tolerability measured by the frequency of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and deaths [ Time Frame: AEs are assessed for the duration of the study participation which is estimated to be a minimum of 27 months (24 months +100 day safety FU). ]
