Description:
This is an adaptive clinical trial that includes a dose escalation phase followed by a
randomized controlled Phase 3 trial. The purpose of the dose escalation phase is to establish
the Phase 3 dose of indoximod in combination with pembrolizumab or nivolumab in subjects with
unresectable or metastatic melanoma and evaluate PK. Subsequently the efficacy, safety and
tolerability of indoximod plus pembrolizumab or nivolumab versus placebo plus pembrolizumab
or nivolumab will be studied in subjects with unresectable or metastatic melanoma in the
Phase 3 portion of the trial.
The phase 3 study will not proceed per Sponsor decision.
