- Patients with a malignancy that has been treated with surgery alone with curative intent will be included. Individuals in documented remission without treatment for (> / =) 2 years prior to enrollment may be included at the discretion of the investigator.
-
Evidence of significant, uncontrolled concomitant diseases that could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results or that could increase risk to the patient, including renal disease that would preclude chemotherapy administration or pulmonary disease (including obstructive pulmonary disease and history of bronchospasm)
-
Known active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial, parasitic, or other infection (excluding fungal infections of nail beds) at study enrollment, or any major episode of infection requiring treatment with IV antibiotics or hospitalization (relating to the completion of the course of antibiotics) within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1
-
Received the following agents within 7 days prior to the first dose of venetoclax:
- Steroid therapy for anti-neoplastic intent
- Strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors
- Strong and moderate CYP3A inducers
- Consumed grapefruit, grapefruit products, Seville oranges (including marmalade containing Seville oranges), or star fruit within 3 days prior to the first dose of venetoclax
-
Clinically significant history of liver disease, including viral or other hepatitis, current alcohol abuse, or cirrhosis
-
Presence of positive test results for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C (HCV) antibody
-
Patients who are positive for HCV antibody must be negative for HCV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to be eligible for study participation
-
Patients with occult or prior HBV infection (defined as positive total hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb] and negative HBsAg) may be included if HBV DNA is undetectable. These patients must be willing to undergo monthly DNA testing.
-
Known infection with human T-cell leukemia virus 1 (HTLV-1)
-
Patients with uncontrolled HIV infection
-
Receipt of live-virus vaccines within 28 days prior to the initiation of study treatment or need for live-virus vaccines at any time during study treatment
-
Pregnant or lactating, or intending to become pregnant during the study Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 21 days prior to initiation of study drug.
-
Recent major surgery (within 6 weeks prior to the start of Cycle 1, Day 1) other than for diagnosis
-
Malabsorption syndrome or other condition that precludes enteral route of administration
-
Known allergy to both xanthine oxidase inhibitors and rasburicase

Group Intervention Description Venetoclax + Rituximab Rituximab/Hyaluronidase Human Participants will be initially placed in a venetoclax 5 weeks ramp-up period, and will be administered an initial 20 mg oral tablet dose once daily (QD), incrementing weekly up to a maximum dose of 400 mg. Participants will then continue taking venetoclax 400 mg QD from Week 5 onwards, as directed by the investigator in combination with rituximab 375 mg/m\^2 IV on Day 1 of Cycle 1 followed by 13.4 mL of rituximab SC 1,600 mg/26,800 Units vial (1,600 mg rituximab and 26,800 Units hyaluronidase human) on Day 1 of Cycle 2-6. Venetoclax + Rituximab Venetoclax Participants will be initially placed in a venetoclax 5 weeks ramp-up period, and will be administered an initial 20 mg oral tablet dose once daily (QD), incrementing weekly up to a maximum dose of 400 mg. Participants will then continue taking venetoclax 400 mg QD from Week 5 onwards, as directed by the investigator in combination with rituximab 375 mg/m\^2 IV on Day 1 of Cycle 1 followed by 13.4 mL of rituximab SC 1,600 mg/26,800 Units vial (1,600 mg rituximab and 26,800 Units hyaluronidase human) on Day 1 of Cycle 2-6.
