Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Histologically-confirmed diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis,
             ureter, bladder, or urethra, that is transitional cell, or mixed
             transitional/non-transitional (predominantly transitional) cell type.

          -  Progression or recurrence of urothelial carcinoma following one prior platinum
             containing chemotherapy regimen for metastatic or unresectable locally advanced
             disease. A participant who receives a neoadjuvant or adjuvant platinum-containing
             regimen following cystectomy for localized muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma is
             acceptable (without further systemic treatment), if recurrence/progression occurs ≤ 12
             months following completion of therapy.

          -  Measurable disease based on RECIST v1.1.

          -  Have provided an archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or excisional
             biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated for PD-L1 analysis.

          -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.

          -  Adequate organ function per protocol-defined criteria.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Urothelial carcinoma that is suitable for local therapy with curative intent.

          -  History or presence of an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) that, in the investigator's
             opinion, is clinically meaningful.

          -  Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment
             within the past 3 years.

          -  Known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.
             Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they
             are radiologically stable, ie, without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by
             repeat imaging.

          -  Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years.

          -  Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. HIV testing is not
             required unless mandated by local health authority.

          -  Known history of or is positive for active hepatitis B (HBsAg reactive) or has active
             hepatitis C (HCV RNA). Note: Testing must be performed to determine eligibility.

          -  Use of protocol-defined prior/concomitant therapy.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Objective Response Rate (ORR) With Pembrolizumab + Epacadostat Versus Pembrolizumab + Placebo
Time Frame:up to 9 weeks +14 days
Safety Issue:
Description:ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had a complete response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions or partial response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions per RECIST v1.1 by investigator determination.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Safety and Tolerability of Pembrolizumab + Epacadostat Versus Pembrolizumab + Placebo as Measured by Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame:Up to 8 months
Safety Issue:
Description: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.
Measure:Safety and Tolerability of Pembrolizumab + Epacadostat Versus Pembrolizumab + Placebo as Measured by Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment Due to AE
Time Frame:Up to 8 months
Safety Issue:
Description: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.
