Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events
Time Frame: Up to 9 months
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study.
Up to 9 months
Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) of Venetoclax Monotherapy
Time Frame: First 21 days venetoclax monotherapy
A DLT is any Grade 3 or higher non-hematologic adverse event (AE) with exceptions outlined in the protocol.
First 21 days venetoclax monotherapy
Recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD) of Venetoclax
Time Frame: First 21 days venetoclax monotherapy
Venetoclax RPTD is the dose determined based on adverse event reporting and dose-limiting toxicity information from all participants.
First 21 days venetoclax monotherapy
Cmax of Venetoclax
Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 weeks
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of venetoclax.
Up to approximately 2 weeks
Tmax of venetoclax
Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 weeks
Time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) of venetoclax.
Up to approximately 2 weeks
AUC0-24 Post-Dose of Venetoclax
Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 weeks
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours (AUC24) post-dose of venetoclax.
Up to approximately 2 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Up to 9 months
ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who achieved a response according to established criteria described in detail in the study protocol.
Up to 9 months
Partial Response (PR) Rate
Time Frame: Up to 9 months
PR is defined according to established criteria for each tumor type and is described in detail within the study protocol.
Up to 9 months
Complete Response (CR) Rate
Time Frame: Up to 9 months
CR is defined according to established criteria for each tumor type and is described in detail within the study protocol.
Up to 9 months
