assess the oral bioavailability of new abt-263 formulations

Conditions: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia; Lymphomas; Leukemias

Summary: this is a randomized, open-label, multicenter crossover study to determine the oral bioavailability of new abt-263 formulations relative to that of the current abt-263 formulation being administered in ongoing phase 1/2a studies. approximately 36 evaluable subjects with lymphoid malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and solid tumors will be enrolled in this study.
