But what does it mean without a mechanism? If they have data showing that Red is correct, the vaccine is of considerable value. Pair the sucker with ipi, an ido inhibitor, anti-PD-1/PD-L1, etc. and get some near-term human experiments going..... FDA has never been as open to innovation as they are at the moment, particularly involving combo therapies for cancer.

FWIW I agree with all of the above. And they would need no one but the FDA's easily obtained permission to do a proof of concept with ipi. The fact that haven't moved forward in an ipi combo probably says something - probably negative (like no confidence), but could be positive (in on-going negotiations with an anti-PD-1 provider)
