Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male or female subjects, age 18 years or older
* Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC, MEL (including I/O relapsed MEL or I/O refractory MEL), CRC, SCCHN, ovarian cancer, recurrent B cell NHL or HL, or glioblastoma
* Presence of measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 for solid tumors or Cheson criteria for B cell NHL (including DLBCL) or HL. For subjects with glioblastoma, presence of measurable disease is not required.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 1
* Fresh baseline tumor biopsies (defined as a biopsy specimen taken since completion of the most recent prior chemotherapy regimen) are required for all cohorts except glioblastoma

Exclusion Criteria

* Laboratory and medical history parameters not within Protocol-defined range
* Currently pregnant or breastfeeding
* Subjects who have received prior immune checkpoint inhibitors or an IDO inhibitor (except select Phase 2 cohorts evaluating I/O relapsed or I/O refractory MEL). Subjects who have received experimental vaccines or other immune therapies should be discussed with the medical monitor to confirm eligibility
* Untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases or CNS metastases that have progressed
* Subjects with any active or inactive autoimmune process
* Evidence of interstitial lung disease or active, noninfectious pneumonitis
