IDO1 is an enzyme tumours use to burn up tryptophan, starving T cells and producing by-products that switch them off. Epacadostat blocked it but its programme ended in failure; the IO102-IO103 vaccine instead teaches T cells to attack the IDO1-expressing cells themselves. This dossier gathers the 2 products (0 approved), 6 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
The two corpus approaches differ in kind: epacadostat blocked the enzyme's chemistry, while IO102-IO103 raises T cells against cells that express IDO1 or PD-L1 in the tumour microenvironment, turning the suppressive cells themselves into targets.
