  • MK-3475
  • Drug: Epacadostat
    Epacadostat 100 mg administered orally twice daily.
    Other Names:
  • INCB024360
  • Active Comparator: SoC (Sunitinib or Pazopanib)

    Standard of care (SoC) (sunitinib or pazopanib monotherapy).

    Drug: Sunitinib
    Sunitinib 50 mg administered orally once daily; 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off for 6-wk cycle.
    Other Names:

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) of Pembrolizumab + Epacadostat Versus Standard of Care (SOC) [Minimum up to 6 months]

      ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST v1.1 by investigator determination.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Safety and Tolerability of Pembrolizumab + Epacadostat Versus SOC as Measured by the Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) [Data reported from start of study to data cutoff 28-Feb-2019, up to 15 months.]

      AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.

    2. Safety and Tolerability of Pembrolizumab + Epacadostat Versus SOC as Measured by the Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Drug Due to AEs [Data reported from start of study to data cutoff 28-Feb-2019, up to 15 months.]

      AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.
