- Tmax of Venetoclax [ Time Frame: Approximately 29 days after first dose of study drug ]Time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) of venetoclax.
- Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RPTD) of co-administered Dinaciclib and Venetoclax [ Time Frame: Minimum first cycle of dosing (21 days) ]Tthe RPTD of co-administered venetoclax and dinaciclib will be determined during the dose escalation phase of the study. RPTD will be determined using available safety and pharmacokinetics data.
- Cmax of Venetoclax [ Time Frame: Approximately 29 days after first dose of study drug ]Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) for Venetoclax.
- AUCt of Venetoclax [ Time Frame: Approximately 29 days after first dose of study drug ]Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) from Time 0 to Time of the Last Measurable Concentration (AUCt)
- AUC0-24 Post-dose of Venetoclax [ Time Frame: Approximately 29 days after first dose of study drug ]Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours (AUC24) post-dose of venetoclax.
- Cmax of Dinaciclib [ Time Frame: Approximately 29 days after first dose of study drug ]Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of dinaciclib.
- Half-life (t1/2) of Dinaciclib [ Time Frame: Approximately 29 days after first dose of study drug ]Half-life (t1/2) of dinaciclib.
- AUCt Post-dose of Dinaciclib [ Time Frame: Approximately 29 days after first dose of study drug ]Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time t (AUCt) post-dose dinaciclib.
- AUC0-∞ of Dinaciclib [ Time Frame: Approximately 29 days after first dose of study drug ]Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC0-∞) post-dose of dinaciclib.
- Clearance of Dinaciclib [ Time Frame: Approximately 29 days after first dose of study drug ]Clearance (CL) of dinaciclib.
- Complete Response (CR) Rate [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 18 months ]CR is defined as the proportion of participants with documented complete response (CR) based on International Working Group (IWG) criteria.
- Composite CR Rate (CR + CRi) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 18 months ]Composite is defined as CR + CRi (CR with incomplete blood count recovery) based on IWG criteria.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 18 months ]ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with documented partial response (PR) or better (CR + CRi + partial response [PR]) based on IWG criteria.
