Overview
Brief Summary
This is an open-label, Phase 1/2 study in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study has three separate treatment groups where separate epigenetic agents are evaluated with an immunotherapy combination. Treatment Group A will evaluate the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor azacitidine in combination with the programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitor pembrolizumab and the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO-1) inhibitor epacadostat; Treatment Group B will evaluate the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitor INCB057643 with pembrolizumab and epacadostat; and Treatment Group C will evaluate the lysine-specific demethylase 1A (LSD1) inhibitor INCB059872 with pembrolizumab and epacadostat. The study will be divided into 2 parts (Part 1 and 2). Part 1 is a dose-escalation assessment to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination therapies. Once the recommended doses have been determined, subjects with previously treated NSCLC, microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (CRC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, and melanoma will be enrolled into expansion cohorts in Part 2.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Part 1 and 2 : Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events
Time Frame: Baseline through 42-49 days after end of treatment, estimated up to 27 months (24 months with 100 day FU period).
A treatment-emergent AE was defined as an event occurring after exposure to at least 1 dose of study drug. A treatment-related AE was defined as an event with a definite, probable, or possible causality to study medication. A serious AE is an event resulting in death, hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or is life threatening, a congenital anomaly/birth defect or requires medical or surgical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes above. The intensity of an AE was graded according to the National Cancer Institute common terminology criteria for adverse events (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.03: Grade 1 (Mild); Grade 2 (Moderate); Grade 3 (Severe); Grade 4 (life-threatening).
Part 1 and 2: Objective Response Rate Based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
Time Frame: Every 9 weeks for the duration of study participation; estimated minimum of 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. CR is disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. A participant was considered as an objective responder if the participant had a best overall response of CR or PR.
Secondary Outcomes
- Parts 1 and 2: Percentage of Responders Determined by Immunohistochemistry(Baseline to Week 5/6 or week 8/9)
- Parts 1 and 2: Progression-free Survival Based on RECIST v1.1.(Every 9 weeks from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months)
- Parts 1 and 2: Duration of Response Based on RECIST v1.1(Every 9 weeks from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months)
