Abstract excerpt
Mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) rearrangements (MLLr) and nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1) mutations are associated with acute leukemias whose pathogenesis is critically influenced by protein-protein interactions between menin and MLL. We hypothesized that targeting the menin-MLL interaction using DS-1594b and blocking the anti-apoptotic BCL-2 protein using venetoclax may promote differentiation and enhance eradication of...
