An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A 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.

Data is reported as per dose received by the participants with a particular cancer type. CR per Cheson criteria was defined as complete disappearance of all detectable clinical evidence of disease and disease-related symptoms.

Frequently asked questions about Epacadostat

What is Epacadostat used for?

Epacadostat is an investigational small molecule being studied in oncology across several tumor types, including B-cell malignancies, glioma, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, rectal cancer, and fallopian tube carcinoma. It is not an approved therapy and remains in clinical development.

What does Epacadostat target?

Epacadostat targets IDO1, an enzyme also known as indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1. It acts as an IDO1 inhibitor. By inhibiting this target, the drug is designed to modulate tryptophan metabolism in the tumor microenvironment, a pathway studied for its role in cancer immune evasion.

Who makes Epacadostat?

Epacadostat is developed by Incyte Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company traded on Nasdaq under the ticker INCY. Incyte is the sponsor of the clinical programs evaluating the drug, including studies combining it with other agents such as pembrolizumab and retifanlimab.

What phase is Epacadostat in?

Epacadostat is in Phase 1 development according to its current development stage, though individual studies have been conducted at Phase 2 and Phase 3. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is Epacadostat in?

Epacadostat has been evaluated in trials including NCT03532295, a Phase 2 study of retifanlimab and epacadostat with radiation and bevacizumab in recurrent gliomas, and NCT03516708, a Phase 1 study in locally advanced rectal cancer. Phase 3 studies NCT03374488 and NCT03361865 tested it with pembrolizumab in urothelial carcinoma.

Is Epacadostat the same as INCB024360?

Yes, INCB024360 is an alternative name for epacadostat. The two names refer to the same investigational IDO1 inhibitor developed by Incyte Corporation, and both appear in the clinical literature and trial records for the same compound.
