How the body handles a blood cancer medication in children

This trial is studying how venetoclax—a medication used to treat blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma—is absorbed and processed by the body when given as a liquid solution made from crushed tablets. Researchers want to understand how well this form of the medication works in children and young adults. By measuring the medication levels in blood samples, they hope to learn if this liquid version is as effective as other forms.

Many children with blood cancers cannot swallow pills easily, so doctors sometimes crush tablets and mix them into a liquid. This study exists to make sure the medication works the same way when given as a liquid and to help doctors know if they're giving the right dose.
