Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Venetoclax
Treatment: Drugs - Cytarabine

Experimental: Phase 1: 600 mg Venetoclax + LDAC - Venetoclax was administered orally once daily (QD) on Days 2 through 28 of Cycle 1. Dosing started at 50 mg (Day 2) and increased up to 600 mg by Day 6. Beginning with Cycle 2, 600 mg venetoclax was administered Days 1 through 28 of each 28-day cycle. Participants also received low-dose cytarabine (LDAC; 20 mg/m²) administered by subcutaneous injection once daily on Days 1 to 10 of each cycle.

Participants could continue receiving treatment until disease progression or until discontinuation criteria were met.

Experimental: Phase 1: 800 mg Venetoclax + LDAC - Venetoclax was administered orally once daily (QD) on Days 2 through 28 of Cycle 1. Dosing started at 100 mg (Day 2) and increased up to 800 mg by Day 6. Beginning with Cycle 2, 800 mg venetoclax was administered Days 1 through 28 of each 28-day cycle. Participants also received LDAC (20 mg/m²) administered by subcutaneous injection once daily on Days 1 to 10 of each cycle.

Participants could continue receiving treatment until disease progression or until discontinuation criteria were met.
