Brief Summary:
This study consists of two parts: A Phase 1 dose-escalation part that will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of venetoclax in combination with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC), define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and generate data to support a recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD) in treatment-naïve participants with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML); and a Phase 2 part that will evaluate if the RPTD has sufficient efficacy and acceptable toxicity to warrant further development of the combination therapy.

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
