iwAL 2026 | Combining differentiation therapy with BCL2 inhibition: impact on the DS risk profile
Stéphane De Botton, MD, PhD, Gustave Roussy Institute, Paris, France, discusses the potential impact of combining differentiation therapy with BCL2 inhibition on the differentiation syndrome (DS) risk profile, noting that combining venetoclax with menin or IDH inhibitors may reduce the incidence of DS due to the cytotoxic effects of venetoclax on blast cells. This interview took place at the 8th International Workshop on Acute Leukemias (iwAL 2026), held in Boston, MA.

Transcript
We have flavors that combining venetoclax plus menin or plus IDH inhibitors reduced the incidence of the syndromes. It’s based on the fact that ven-aza is truly cytotoxic and if you eliminate the cause of the DS, meaning blast cells, you see the reduction of DS syndrome that has been shown, especially with the triplet with IDH1 inhibitor or IDH2 inhibitor.
