Leukarrest wasn't Icos's prime pipeline drug

I would have to disagree with you on this point. LeukArrest is most certainly its lead product at this time, and ICOS obviously put a lot of weight in it since it is/was testing it in four independent indications (shock, MI, stroke, MS). So far, two of four looks like busts, though the stroke indication has moved onto phase III. However, as I think I mentioned in the past, there is a long history of failure in the neuroprotective field, so LeukArrest has an uphill battle for this indication.

Regards,
Lel
