Study Description

Brief Summary:

This dose-escalating study is to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of venetoclax in combination with navitoclax and chemotherapy in adult and pediatric participants with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or relapsed/refractory lymphoblastic lymphoma. A safety expansion cohort of approximately 20 patients may be enrolled in addition to the 50 participants in dose-escalation cohort.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL); Lymphoblastic Lymphoma	Drug: Navitoclax; Drug: Chemotherapy; Drug: Venetoclax	Phase 1

Arms and Interventions

Arm

Intervention/treatment

Experimental: Venetoclax + Navitoclax + Chemotherapy; Venetoclax weight-adjusted doses administered orally every day (QD) starting on Day 1 + navitoclax various, weight-adjusted doses administered orally QD starting on Day 3 + chemotherapy (peg-asparaginase [or any other forms of asparaginase], vincristine, dexamethasone) and tyrosine kinase inhibitor [TKI, if applicable]). This regimen and any of its components may be delayed, reduced or omitted at the discretion of the Investigator.

Drug: Navitoclax; tablet; Other Name: ABT-263; Drug: Chemotherapy; peg-asparaginase (or other form of asparaginase, per local standard of care (intravenous) + vincristine (intravenous) + dexamethasone (oral) + tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (if applicable, oral); Drug: Venetoclax; tablet; Other Name: ABT-199 GDC-0199

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Cmax of Venetoclax + Navitoclax [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 9 months ]
   Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of venetoclax + navitoclax
2. AUC of Venetoclax + Navitoclax [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 9 months ]
   Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of venetoclax + navitoclax
3. Tmax of Venetoclax + Navitoclax [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 9 months ]
   Time to Cmax (Tmax) of Venetoclax + Navitoclax
4. CL/F of Venetoclax + Navitoclax [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 9 months ]
   Apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of venetoclax + navitoclax
5. Number of participants with dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 28 days after initial dose of study drug ]
   A DLT is any Grade 3 or higher non-hematologic adverse event (AE) with exceptions outlined in the protocol. AEs and toxicities that occur beyond the DLT assessment period will also be evaluated by the investigator and AbbVie and may be considered as dose-limiting.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months after the last subject has enrolled into the study ]
   PFS is defined as the number of days from the date of enrollment to the date of earliest disease progression or death.
2. Partial Response (PR) rate [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months after the last subject has enrolled into the study ]
   PR defined as no peripheral blasts or peripheral blood absolute blast count decreased by ≥ 50% from baseline, bone marrow with 5 - 25% blasts and at least a 50% decrease in bone marrow blast percent from baseline, no evidence of extramedullary disease.
3. Number of Participant who Proceed to Stem Cell Transplantation or Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) Therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months after the last subject has enrolled into the study ]
   Determine the number of participants who proceed to stem cell transplantation or CAR-T therapy.
4. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months after the last subject has enrolled into the study ]
   OS is defined as the number of days from the date of enrollment to the date of death.
5. Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months after the last subject has enrolled into the study ]
   The proportion of subjects with objective response rate (complete response [CR] + CR incomplete recovery [CRi] + CR without platelet recovery [CRp]) for ALL subjects and (CR+PR) for LL subjects.
6. Complete Response (CR) rate [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months after the last subject has enrolled into the study ]
   CR defined as hematologic recovery (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] greater than or equal to 500/μL; platelet counts greater than or equal to 75,000/μL), evidence of trilineage hematopoiesis in the bone marrow and less than 5% blasts in the bone marrow, absence of circulating blasts, and no evidence of extramedullary disease.
