Description:
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the white blood cells which perform many
functions, including fighting bacterial infections and defending the body against parasites.
This study will evaluate how safe venetoclax is and assess the adverse events in adult
participants with AML.
Venetoclax in combination with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) is an approved therapy in the
United States for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) aged > 18 years
with a medical condition that prevents the use of intensive chemotherapy. This study provides
access to venetoclax in combination with LDAC to participants over 18 years who are
ineligible for intensive induction therapy. Around 38 adult participants with diagnosis of
AML will be enrolled in approximately 15 sites across Japan.
Participants will receive oral venetoclax tablets once daily on days 1-28 in combination with
subcutaneous low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) injections once daily on days 1-10 of the 28-day
treatment cycles.
Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital to evaluate safety by
medical assessments and blood tests.

Purpose
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the white blood cells which perform many

This study will evaluate how safe venetoclax is and assess the adverse events in adult
participants with AML.
Venetoclax in combination with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) is an approved therapy in the
United States for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) aged > 18 years

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Confirmed diagnosis of AML, previously untreated, ineligible for intensive induction
regimen due to age or co-morbidities.
- Participants who are >= 75 years of age or who are >= 18 to 74 years of age with at
least one of the following co-morbidities:
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 2 or 3.
- Cardiac history of congestive heart failure requiring treatment or ejection
fraction <= 50% or chronic stable angina.
- Diffusion capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) <= 65% or forced expiratory
volume during the first second (FEV1) <= 65%.
- Adequate renal and hepatic criteria as described in the protocol.
- Other co-morbidities that the physician judges to be incompatible with intensive
chemotherapy must be reviewed and approved by the AbbVie Therapeutic Area Medical
Director (TA MD) before study enrollment.
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of prior treatment for AML with the exception of hydroxyurea, allowed through
the first cycle of study treatment.

Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) |
Time Frame: | Up to approximately 9 months after the first participant receives first dose of study drug |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | 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. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. |
