This invention relates to the application of PGG in the preparation of drugs for treating acute leukemia, belonging to the field of biomedical technology. To address the problems of narrow application range and easy development of drug resistance in existing acute leukemia treatments, this invention provides the application of PGG in the preparation of drugs for treating acute leukemia. Experiments have shown that PGG can inhibit the viability, proliferation, and colony formation of human acute myeloid leukemia cells (MOLM-13) and human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells (Jurkat), and induce their apoptosis. In animal models, intraperitoneal injection of PGG can prolong the survival days of mice with acute leukemia and reduce the infiltration of leukemia cells in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow tissues. In this invention, PGG directly inhibits the viability of acute leukemia cells and can simultaneously inhibit AML and ALL, without relying on specific gene mutations, resulting in a lower risk of drug resistance, more flexible clinical use, and broader patient coverage, showing promising clinical application prospects.

Provided herein are methods of treating acute leukemia, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), in an individual, comprising administering to the individual a menin inhibitor and a standard-of-care therapy.
