Recruiting studies near Detroit
- NCT04546399RecruitingPhase 2
Blinatumomab with or without nivolumab for first relapse ALL
This study compares blinatumomab alone versus blinatumomab plus nivolumab in young people whose B-cell ALL has returned for the first time. It aims to see whether adding nivolumab improves control of the leukemia after relapse.
Detroit, MichiganAges 1–30 - NCT01351545Recruiting
Cryopreserved cord blood access program for transplant patients
This trial studies an organized way to obtain and distribute unlicensed (not FDA-approved for general use) stored cord blood units that have been frozen and kept. It may help people who need a cord blood transplant but don’t fit the “licensed cord blood only” options.
Detroit, MichiganAges Any age - NCT06124157RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy plus chemo for children with Ph+ or Ph-like B-ALL
This trial tests if adding a targeted drug (dasatinib or imatinib) to a chemotherapy combination with blinatumomab works better for children and young adults with a specific genetic form of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal is to see if this approach can improve treatment outcomes for patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive or ABL-class Ph-like B-ALL.
Detroit, MichiganAges 1 year–46 years - NCT05554393RecruitingPhase 2
Treating intermediate-risk AML in younger adults
This trial compares three different drug combinations for younger adults (18-59) with intermediate-risk AML. You will be assigned to one of three groups: standard chemotherapy (cytarabine + daunorubicin), that same chemotherapy plus venetoclax, or venetoclax combined with azacitidine.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–59 - NCT07437950RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing treatment lengths for venetoclax in older adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia
This study tests whether a shorter or longer course of the drug venetoclax works better for older adults with a type of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not healthy enough for intensive chemotherapy. The goal is to find the best treatment duration to control the cancer while reducing side effects.
Livonia, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT06917911RecruitingPhase 2
Adding Venetoclax or Gemtuzumab to Chemotherapy for CBF-AML
This study tests adding a targeted drug (venetoclax or gemtuzumab ozogamicin) to standard chemotherapy for a specific type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) called core binding factor (CBF)-AML. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Livonia, MichiganAges 18–59 - NCT07532525RecruitingPhase 1
Pomalidomide after CAR T for B-cell cancer
This trial tests whether the drug pomalidomide, given as a pill, can help people with B-cell leukemia or lymphoma who have recently received CAR T-cell therapy. The goal is to see if pomalidomide can keep the cancer from coming back, and it may be an option for those whose cancer is not growing but still needs management.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05768932RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for advanced cancers or relapsed AML
This Phase 1 trial tests BAL0891, a new study treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors that have run out of treatment options, or in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to find a safe dose and see how well it may work in these hard-to-treat cancers.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05476770RecruitingPhase 1
Tagraxofusp for children with CD123-positive leukemia
This study tests tagraxofusp, a medicine that targets a marker called CD123 on cancer cells, in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or is resistant to treatment. It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies have not worked.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 1–21 - NCT07012044RecruitingPhase 1
Cedazuridine and decitabine after stem cell transplant for childhood leukemia
This trial tests if adding two chemotherapy drugs (cedazuridine and decitabine) along with a growth factor (filgrastim) can help prevent leukemia from coming back after a stem cell transplant. It is for children and young adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who are in remission after transplant.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges Up to 21 years - NCT06317662RecruitingPhase 2
Adding venetoclax and blinatumomab to chemo for infant leukemia
This trial tests adding two newer medicines (venetoclax and blinatumomab) to standard chemotherapy for infants with a specific type of leukemia. The goal is to see if this combination helps more babies stay cancer-free.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges Up to 12 months - NCT05082519RecruitingPhase 2
Calorie reduction and activity to help chemo work in B-ALL
This Phase 2 study tests whether eating fewer calories and doing activity safely can make chemotherapy work better for children and young adults with newly diagnosed B-ALL. It aims to reduce chemo resistance, meaning help leukemia respond more strongly to treatment.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 10–25 - NCT06247787RecruitingPhase 1
Imetelstat plus chemo for relapsed leukemia in kids
This trial tests a new drug called imetelstat combined with two chemotherapy drugs (fludarabine and cytarabine) for children and teens with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to find the safest dose of imetelstat and see if it helps control the cancer.

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.
