Official title:

This pilot phase II trial studies how well epacadostat and vaccine therapy work in treating patients with stage III-IV melanoma. Epacadostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Vaccines made from peptides and antigens may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving epacadostat with vaccine therapy may be an effective treatment for advanced melanoma.

Inclusion Criteria: - Patients must have malignant melanoma validated by histology or cytology; patients may have had primary cutaneous, mucosal, or ocular melanoma or metastasis from an unknown primary site - NOTE: patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least 1 lesion that can be accurately measured in at least 1 dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as >= 20 mm with conventional chest x-ray or as >= 10 mm with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or calipers by clinical exam - Unresectable stage III or IV validated by clinical criteria (including recurrent melanoma), or patients with multiple skin/soft tissue metastases of melanoma that may be resectable but are judged to have a future recurrence risk exceeding 70% (e.g., large adenopathy, distant skin metastases or multiple in-transit melanoma metastases); tumor deemed amenable to biopsy (excisional, incisional, or core, with at least 100 mm^3 tumor volume per biopsy date) and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy - NOTE: optimally, patients will have tumor approachable for three serial biopsies during the trial; for patients with only one or two tumors approachable for biopsy, available tumor blocks from prior biopsies can serve as the pretreatment sample, but only if formalin-fixed tumor tissue is available and adequate to provide at least 20 unstained slides with sufficient tumor for analysis - NOTE: patients with unresectable advanced stage III or IV melanoma (including recurrent melanoma) are only eligible if they have failed at least one other first-line systemic therapy (other than adjuvant therapy); exceptions to this requirement are those patients who have refused and/or are ineligible for other systemic therapies - NOTE: v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B inhibitor (BRAFi) should be considered for all 'unresectable" or metastatic melanoma with BRAFV600E mutation; for low burden in-transit disease patients may enter trial without prior systemic therapy - Stage IV no evidence of disease (NED) is excluded by this criterion - Patients may have had prior systemic therapy without constraint on the number of prior treatment regimens except: - Patients may not have had > 450 mg/m^2 doxorubicin - Patients may not have had > 3000 centigray (cGy) to fields encompassing the entire pelvis - Patients must not be on any other systemic therapy within the following intervals before study enrollment: - 1 week after stereotactic radiosurgery of the brain or comparable technology - 4 weeks after cytotoxic chemotherapy or external beam radiation therapy - 6 weeks after chemotherapy regimens including BCNU (carmustine) or mitomycin C - Patients who experience melanoma progression (by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1 criteria) while on or after treatment with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or PD ligand-1 (PDL-1) antibody may enroll on this study - NOTE: Patients must be off PD-1/PDL- antibody for at least 2 weeks to assess for delayed toxicity before being enrolled and receiving INCB024360;

cohort A patients will receive 300 mg BID of INCB024360; patients must not have active grade 2 autoimmune toxicities attributed to these antibodies at study entry - 8 weeks after ipilimumab, other cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) antibody or other immunologically active antibody - NOTE: Patients receiving prior CTLA-4, anti-PD1 antibody or other immunologic therapy must show evidence of normal pituitary function at baseline and must not have active grade 2 autoimmune toxicities attributed to these antibodies at study entry - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1 (Karnofsky >= 70%) - Life expectancy of at least 6 months - Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL - Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL - Platelets >= 75,000/mcL - Hemoglobin > 9 g/dL - Total bilirubin < 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (bilirubin < 3 × institutional upper limit of normal for Gilbert's syndrome) - Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) up to 2.5 times upper limit normal (ULN) - Creatinine < 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal OR - Creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal - Prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR) =< 1.5 x institutional ULN unless patient is therapeutically anticoagulated;

if abnormal and patient is receiving thyroid replacement therapy, the thyroid medication may be adjusted and the T4 may be re-tested - Patients must express human leukocyte antigen (HLA) -A1+, -A2+, or -A3+ (80% of patients) - Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) < 5 × upper limits of normal - (NOTE: these criteria will select against patients with bulky disease and will select for patients with less disease and earlier disease) - Participants must not have had prior autoimmune disorders requiring cytotoxic or immunosuppressive therapy, or autoimmune disorders with visceral involvement; participants must not have an active or inactive autoimmune disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, moderate or severe psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, etc.); participants who are receiving therapy for an autoimmune or inflammatory disease requiring these therapies are also excluded - The following will not be exclusionary: - Resolved ipilimumab associated inflammatory disease - The presence of laboratory evidence of autoimmune disease (e.g., positive antinuclear antibody [ANA] titer) without associated symptoms - Subjects with vitiligo, thyroiditis, or atopic dermatitis, but otherwise not meeting this criterion may be enrolled;

menopause is the age associated with complete cessation of menstrual cycles and menses, and implies the loss of reproductive potential; by a practical definition, the term assumes menopause after 1 year without menses with an appropriate clinical profile at the appropriate age - Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document Exclusion Criteria: - Patients who have had cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, interferon (IFN), immunosuppressive therapy, or steroids within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) before entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events (AEs) due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier - Ipilimumab or other immunologically active therapy within 8 weeks of enrollment;
