💣 AZA + VEN doesn’t fail—execution does.
Day 21 marrow decides everything.
Shorten VEN, not AZA.
Don’t wait for perfect counts.
Here’s how we induce AML in 2026 👇
Please let us know your approach.

Leukemia classification has evolved.
Morphology → risk → genetics.
Each step brought us closer to biology.
But genetics alone is not enough.
KMT2A-rearranged leukemia
NPM1-mutated AML
Different mutations.
Same biology:
HOXA9 / MEIS1 activation driven by the menin–KMT2A complex.
This is why both respond to menin inhibitors.
The next step?
👉 Biology-based classification
Menin-dependent leukemia
~6,000–8,000 cases/year in the U.S.
(~25–35% of AML + subset of ALL)
Different mutations. Same addiction.

🧬 Not all DLBCLs are created equal - POLA knows the difference.
📊 Real-world (n = 740, 2015–24)
Polatuzumab used in
🔹Frontline (305)
🔹R/R (435)
COO classified by Hans IHC algorithm
🔥 R/R LBCL:
•ORR 59.7% vs 36.3% ➜ OR 2.6 (p<0.0001)
•CR 35.7% vs 17.7% ➜ OR 2.6 (p<0.0001)
•PFS benefit → HR 0.64 (p = 0.0006)
💊 Frontline (Pola-R-CHP):
No subtype gap → Pola neutralizes COO risk
💡 Takeaway:
Hans IHC still rules 🧪
🔹 Non-GCB = POLA favorite in R/R
🔹 Frontline Pola-R-CHP = great equalizer
