ABT-199 (venetoclax)

Wondering if anyone is familiar with the clinical trial drug ABT-199 (venetoclax)?

I am high risk and should be starting the trial next week if I qualify.

My mother was originally going to be on a trial of ABT-199, Velcade, and dex. Her myeloma specialist was incredibly enthusiastic about it. In the end, they decided to put her on a trial of selinexor and dex, which they were also enthusiastic about.

I can't say I know much about ABT-199, but it seemed promising!
