This clinical trial involves individuals who have been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), or MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm-unclassifiable (MDS/MPN-unclassifiable) and are planning to have an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant ("bone marrow transplant"). The goal of this research study is to (1) test the safety of adding the study drug, Venetoclax, to a standard of care conditioning regimen for bone marrow transplantation as a possible means of eliminating residual (left-over) disease prior to transplant, (2) to test the safety of combination Venetoclax and azacitidine as "maintenance therapy" after transplant to possibly prevent disease recurrence and (3) to test the safety of combination Venetoclax and oral decitabine/cedazuridine as "maintenance therapy" after transplant to possibly prevent disease recurrence.
- The name of the study drug involved in this study is Venetoclax.
- It is expected that about 68 people will take part in this research study.

Experimental: Venetoclax
This study has three periods: 1) Screening 2) Treatment with venetoclax + FluBu2 chemotherapy and transplantation and 3) Post-Transplant follow up. Dose escalations begin in level I with dose cohorts and rules for escalation/de-escalation. Part 1 dose escalation will occur using a 3+3 approach. Post-transplant period includes routine follow-up.
Part 2 post-transplant period includes therapy with azacitidine and venetoclax. Dose escalation will occur using a 10+10 approach.
Part 3 post-transplant period includes therapy with oral decitabine/cedazuridine and venetoclax. Dose escalation will occur using a 10+10 approach.

Exceptions: Patients already on venetoclax therapy prior to transplant need a three day wash out prior to first treatment dose on study. Patients on BCR-ABL, IDH and FLT3 small molecule inhibitors can stay on this treatment up until 5 days prior to first treatment dose on study.
- Patients with > 10% morphologic blasts on bone marrow biopsy if they have a diagnosis of MDS or MDS/MPN. Patients > 5% morphologic blasts on bone marrow biopsy if they have a diagnosis of AML.
- Patients recommended to receive a myeloablative conditioning regimen prior to transplantation (since there is a known survival advantage for AML using higher intensity).
- Patients who have a history of prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
- Symptomatic or untreated known CNS involvement of disease
- Patients with active heart disease (New York Heart Association class 3-4 as assessed by history and physical exam, or a critical event including unstable angina/stroke/myocardial infarction within the last 6 months prior to first dose on study).

- Malabsorption syndrome or other clinically significant condition that would preclude enteral administration.
- Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that in the opinion of the investigator may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and/or would make the patient inappropriate for enrollment into this study.
- Patients with known active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection should be excluded because of potential effects on immune function and/or drug interactions. However, if a patient has HBV history with an undetectable HBV load by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), no liver-related complications, and is on definitive HBV therapy that is not contraindicated on this study, then he/she would be eligible for study.
