Experimental: 5-cohort study design
Cohort 1:3-by-3 design of EO2401 in combination with nivolumab at standard dose. Three to 12 evaluable patients with adrenal carcinoma or progressive malignant pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma will be included depending on the safety profile of the administered treatments. Cohorts 2A (previously treated patients) and 2B (previously untreated patients): evaluation of EO2401in combination with nivolumab in 33 patients with adrenal carcinoma. Cohorts 3A (previously treated patients) and 3B (previously untreated patients) : evaluation of EO2401 combination with nivolumab in 20 patients (globally for both Cohorts 3A and 3B) with progressive malignant pheochromocytoma/ paraganglioma. |

- Evaluation of Progression Free Survival at 6 months [ Time Frame: 6 months after first treatment date from the last patient enrolled ]Progression Free Survival according to iRECIST criteria defined as the time interval from the date of first study treatment administration to 6 months after
- Evaluation of survival [ Time Frame: From end of treatment to at least 24 months after last patient enrollment ]Overall survival, defined as the time interval from the date of first study treatment administration to the date of death due to any cause
- Assessment of the immunogenicity [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]Assessment of the immunogenicity of the 4 components that compose EO2401 Immunogenicity will be assessed by Interferon-γ ELISpot

- Males or non-pregnant, non-lactating, females.
- Patients willing and able to comply with the scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures indicated in the protocol.
- Patients having received the information sheet and who have provided written informed consent prior to any study-related procedures.
Main Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients treated with dexamethasone > 2 mg/day or equivalent (i.e. 13 mg/day of prednisone, or 53 mg/day of hydrocortisone) within 14 days before the first EO2401 administration, unless required to treat an adverse event.
- Patients with prior treatment with immune check-point inhibitors
- Patients with prior exposure to EO2401.
- Patients treated with immunotherapy (meaning immunostimulatory or immunosuppressive therapy; beside excluded, or allowed, compounds per other inclusion/exclusion criteria specifications), radionuclide therapy, radiotherapy, cytoreductive therapy, or received treatment with any other investigational agent within 28 days before the first EO2401 administration.
- Patients with an initial diagnosis of ACC less than 9 months from start of screening part 2.

- Patients with ACC and uncontrolled hormonal secretion (according to the judgement of the treating physician).
- Patients with MPP and uncontrolled blood pressure (according to the judgement of the treating physician).
- Patients with abnormal laboratory values.
- Patients with persistent Grade 3 or 4 toxicities.
- Uncontrolled central nervous system (CNS) metastasis.
- Other malignancy or prior malignancy with a disease-free interval of less than 3 years
