a Epacadostat 100-mg BID and 300-mg BID dose cohorts were not re-explored in this study after protocol amendment to evaluate lower doses of epacadostat

b Rash included the following MedDRA preferred terms: rash, rash maculopapular, rash pruritic, rash generalized, and rash macular; patients were counted only once (a patient with multiple terms for rash was counted only once for the term “rash”)

c Pruritus included the following MedDRA preferred terms: pruritus and pruritus generalized; patients were counted only once (a patient with multiple terms for pruritus was counted only once for the term “pruritus”)
