Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03633955RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging study for people with high-risk leukemia
This early (Phase 1) study tests how a special scan works in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat leukemia types. The scan uses a tracer called 18F FLT, and the study looks to see if it can be done safely (without sedation) and how it relates to treatment.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 4–80 - NCT03666000RecruitingPhase 1
Azer-cel for B-cell lymphoma and leukemia that has returned
This trial tests an investigational cell therapy called Azer-cel for people with certain types of blood cancer (non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia) that has come back or not responded to previous treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells that have been modified to find and attack cancer cells.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03850574RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tuspetinib for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This early-phase study tests tuspetinib in people with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to learn whether it is safe and tolerable, how the drug behaves in the body, and whether it shows signs of benefit.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04065399RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing revumenib for relapsed acute leukemia with certain gene changes
This trial tests revumenib, a targeted medicine, to treat acute leukemia that has come back or hasn’t fully gone away. It may help people whose leukemia has specific gene changes (like KMT2A or NPM1) by trying to better control the cancer.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 4 weeks+ - NCT04260022RecruitingPhase 1
Drug study for hard-to-treat CML or Ph+ ALL
This Phase 1 study tests HQP1351 for people with CML or Ph+ ALL that has not responded well to standard targeted pills (TKIs), or those who could not tolerate them. It’s designed to see whether the treatment can work and how safe it is for this difficult-to-treat group.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04068597RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing inobrodib for blood cancers that came back

What taking part in a acute leukemia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
