- Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (Part 1) [ Time Frame: Time from treatment of first participant to 20th participant reaching end of cycle 1, approximately 7 Months ]DLTs are any of the hematologic, nonhematologic toxicities, adverse events (AEs) occurring following administration of venetoclax as described in the protocol and evaluated by the Investigator and the sponsor.
- Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) of Venetoclax in Combination with Azacitidine (CC-486) (Part 3 Dose Finding Portion) [ Time Frame: Time from treatment of first participant to 20th participant reaching end of cycle 1, approximately 7 Months ]DLTs are hematologic, nonhematologic toxicities, adverse events (AEs) occurring following administration of venetoclax in combination with CC-486 as described in the protocol and evaluated by the Investigator and the sponsor.
- Relapse-Free Survival (RFS) (Part 3 Randomization Portion) [ Time Frame: Time from treatment to relapse or death from any cause, up to approximately 3 years ]RFS is defined as the number of days from randomization to the date of relapse or the date of death from any cause, whichever comes first.
- Overall Survival (OS) (Part 3 Randomization Portion) [ Time Frame: Time from treatment to death from any cause, up to approximately 3 years ]OS is defined as the number of days from the date of randomization to the date of death.
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Minimal Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) (Part 3 Randomization Portion) [ Time Frame: Measured From Baseline to approximately 3.5 years after the first participant is randomized ]The MRD conversion rate is defined as the percentage of participants deemed MRD positive (≥ 10^-3) at study initiation who converted to MRD of < 10^-3 in the bone marrow after randomization or initiation of treatment.
- Time to Deterioration in Global Health Status (GHS)/Quality-of Life (QoL) Score Based on European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30-Item (EORTC QLQ-C30) Scoring Manual (Part 3 Randomization Portion) [ Time Frame: Measured From Baseline to approximately 3.5 years after the first participant is randomized ]The EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item subject self-report questionnaire composed of both multi-item and single scales, including global health status/quality of life, functional Scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social) , symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Participants rate items on a 4-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much."
- Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) Fatigue Score Based on Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue Short Form (SF) 7a (Part 3 Randomization Portion) [ Time Frame: Measured From Baseline to approximately 3.5 years after the first participant is randomized ]Fatigue will be assessed using the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue Short Form (SF) 7a. PROMIS Fatigue SF 7a is a 7-item questionnaire that assesses the impact and experience of fatigue over the past 7 days. Participants rate items on a 5-point scale, with 1 as "never" an 5 as "always".
- Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) in Items from EORTC QLQ-C30 between Arms A and B (Part 3 Randomization Portion) [ Time Frame: Measured From Baseline to approximately 3.5 years after the first participant is randomized ]The EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item subject self-report questionnaire composed of both multi-item and single scales, including global health status/quality of life, functional Scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social) , symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Participants rate items on a 4-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much."
- Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) in Items from European Quality-of-Life-5 Dimesional-5-Level (EQ5D5L) Between Arms A and B (Part 3 Randomization Portion) [ Time Frame: Measured From Baseline to approximately 3.5 years after the first participant is randomized ]The EQ5D5L is a standardized instrument used to measure health-related quality of life that can be used in a wide range of health conditions and treatments.
