Inclusion criteria

* Diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by World Health Organization criteria excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)-M3. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2. * Participant must have adequate hematologic, renal, and liver function laboratory values as described in the protocol.

Exclusion criteria

* Known central nervous system leukemia * Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with hypoxemia * History of any malignancy within the last 6 months except for those specified in this protocol and low-grade malignancies not requiring active treatment. * Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant within 6 months of study drug administration and no requirement for graft versus host therapy. * History of clinically significant medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would adversely affect participation in this study. * Known active infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. * History of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) due to previous exposure to venetoclax.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clearance of DinaciclibApproximately 29 days after first dose of study drugClearance (CL) of dinaciclib.
Half-life (t1/2) of DinaciclibApproximately 29 days after first dose of study drugHalf-life (t1/2) of dinaciclib.
AUCt Post-dose of DinaciclibApproximately 29 days after first dose of study drugArea under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time t (AUCt) post-dose dinaciclib.
AUC0-∞ of DinaciclibApproximately 29 days after first dose of study drugArea under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC0-∞) post-dose of dinaciclib.
Tmax of VenetoclaxApproximately 29 days after first dose of study drugTime to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) of venetoclax.
Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RPTD) of co-administered Dinaciclib and VenetoclaxMinimum 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 VenetoclaxApproximately 29 days after first dose of study drugMaximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) for Venetoclax.
AUCt of VenetoclaxApproximately 29 days after first dose of study drugArea Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) from Time 0 to Time of the Last Measurable Concentration (AUCt)
AUC0-24 Post-dose of VenetoclaxApproximately 29 days after first dose of study drugArea under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours (AUC24) post-dose of venetoclax.
Cmax of DinaciclibApproximately 29 days after first dose of study drugMaximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of dinaciclib.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Composite CR Rate (CR + CRi)Up to approximately 18 monthsComposite is defined as CR + CRi (CR with incomplete blood count recovery) based on IWG criteria.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Up to approximately 18 monthsORR is defined as the proportion of participants with documented partial response (PR) or better (CR + CRi + partial response \[PR\]) based on IWG criteria.
Complete Response (CR) RateUp to approximately 18 monthsCR is defined as the proportion of participants with documented complete response (CR) based on International Working Group (IWG) criteria.
