Venetoclax Crushed Tablet Solution Study for Hematologic Malignancies

This study is looking at how the body handles venetoclax when it's given as a crushed tablet dissolved in liquid. This is important because some patients, especially children, can't swallow whole tablets. Researchers want to understand how much venetoclax gets into the body and how quickly it's cleared when given this way. You might be able to join if you are under 39 years old, have a blood cancer like leukemia or lymphoma, and are already receiving venetoclax as a crushed tablet solution as part of your regular care. The study will measure the amount of venetoclax in your blood at different times after you take your dose to see how it's absorbed and cleared. The study aims to enroll 30 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning participants will receive venetoclax as prescribed by their doctor. It aims to enroll 30 participants.
What's involved
You will have blood drawn at several specific times on one day between Days 5-12 after your venetoclax dose ramp-up. This includes before your dose and then 2, 5, 12, 18, and 24 hours after your dose.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Not specified.

Clearance (CL) as measured by PK sampling (Peripheral Blood; Required)
Measured over Blood will be collected on one PK day between Days 5-12 after completion of the venetoclax dose ramp-up : within 1hr prior to the administration of venetoclax, then 2hrs, 5hrs, 12hrs, 18hrs and 24hrs after the administration of venetoclax.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Age: Patients must be \<39 years of age at time of study enrollment
Diagnosis: Patients may have a diagnosis of any hematologic malignancy
Central access: Patients must have an existing venous or arterial access line for PK blood draws
Weight requirement: Patients must weigh at least 5.5 kg at the time of enrollment
Venetoclax: Patients must be receiving any dose of venetoclax given as a solution made from crushed tablets by mouth (PO) or via nasogastric (NG), or G-tube as prescribed by their treating oncologist.
Concurrent chemotherapy medications: Patients may receive venetoclax as a single agent or in combination with any other chemotherapeutic agents.

Exclusion

Pregnant women are excluded from this study because venetoclax has the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with venetoclax, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with venetoclax.
Males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method while on study treatment and for six months following completion.
