Popis: Epacadostat (EPA, INCB024360) is a selective inhibitor of the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) and is being developed as an orally active immunotherapy to treat advanced malignancies. In the first clinical study investigating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of EPA in oncology patients, increasing doses of EPA ranging from 50 mg once daily to 700 mg twice daily were administered as a monotherapy to 52 subjects with advanced solid tumors. The EPA plasma concentration-time profiles were adequately described by a population PK model comprised of the first-order kinetics of oral absorption with 2-compartment distribution and constant clearance from the central compartment. Body weight was the only significant covariant to influence EPA PK. Determination of EPA's on-target potency, ie, its half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC
