      Read this morning that BMS has just purchased Flexus' IDO inhibitor assets.  This is likely good news. (I think, hope). Back before anti-PD1 took center stage, early IDO trials were showing great promise. (I remember someone on this site indicating a 48 percent response rate for a trial at the Angeles Clinic) I believe IDO interferes with a whole other pathway than the PD1/PDL1 route, and may therefore offer another complimentary way to tackle the beast.   There is indication that BMS intends to initiate some clinical trials within six months… It's nice to have a heavyweight picking this up–I suppose that's a benefit of the crowded PD1 field.
