Indoximod is an orally available Indoleamine 2,3-dioxigenase inhibitor. It shows higher potency in reversing IDO-mediated T cell suppression. Indoximod improves the efficacy of multiple chemotherapeutics agents and some immunological checkpoints mediators in Phase I/II clinical studies for metastatic breast cancer, metastatic melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, primary malignant brain tumors, metastatic pancreatic cancer, as well as metastatic prostate cancer.
