Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT06514794RecruitingPhase 2
A study of a new cell therapy for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma
This trial tests an investigational cell therapy that uses donated immune cells to find and destroy cancer cells in patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this therapy can help achieve remission for these patients.
Houston, TexasAges 6 months+ - NCT06549790RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NMS-03597812 for relapsed or refractory AML
This study tests a new experimental drug (NMS-03597812) for adults with AML that has not responded to or has returned after other treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help control the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06376162RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with chemotherapy for children with relapsed leukemia
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called ziftomenib to standard chemotherapy can help children whose leukemia has come back or not responded to treatment. It is for children with certain genetic changes in their leukemia cells.
Houston, TexasAges birth–21 years - NCT04811560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a targeted medicine for certain relapsed leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial tests bleximenib, a targeted medicine, for people whose acute leukemia has specific gene changes and has come back or does not respond to treatment. It may help by attacking these leukemia-specific targets when other treatment options have run out.
Houston, TexasAges 2 years+ - NCT06616636RecruitingPhase 1
Rezatapopt and azacitidine for AML or MDS with a specific TP53 mutation
This trial tests a new drug, rezatapopt, combined with azacitidine for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It is only for people whose cancer cells have a specific change in a gene called TP53 (the Y220C mutation). The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06969430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Debio 1562M for relapsed or refractory AML
This trial tests a new drug called Debio 1562M for people with AML that has not responded to treatment or has come back. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can help fight the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05360160RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral menin inhibitor plus AML medicines for new or relapsed AML
This trial tests an all-pill (oral) combination treatment—menin inhibitor SNDX-5613 plus decitabine/cedazuridine (ASTX727) and venetoclax—for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It’s designed for people who are newly diagnosed and can’t get the strongest chemotherapy, or for certain other AML groups who may still benefit.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT03383575RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine plus enasidenib for IDH2-mutant MDS
This trial tests whether combining azacitidine with enasidenib helps people with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has an IDH2 mutation. It’s designed for people who are either new to “hypomethylating” treatment or whose MDS returned/worsened after it.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT03013998RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Personalized treatment study for acute myeloid leukemia
This study matches people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to treatments based on their specific genetic markers. It aims to find the most effective therapy with fewer side effects compared to standard care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07220993RecruitingPhase 1
Modified immune cells for aggressive T-cell cancers
This trial tests a new treatment using specially engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) from a past stem cell donor to attack cancer cells in people with certain types of T-cell cancers that have returned after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this treatment can lead to remission so a second stem cell transplant can be done.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 75 years - NCT05082519RecruitingPhase 2
Calorie restriction and exercise to improve leukemia treatment in young patients
This study tests whether a special diet (calorie restriction) and increased physical activity can make chemotherapy work better for young people with B-ALL. Participants will follow a monitored diet and exercise plan during their first month of treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 7–25 - NCT06634394RecruitingPhase 1
Study of APVO436 for untreated AML patients
This trial tests a new drug called APVO436 for people with a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has not been treated before. It is for those who cannot receive strong standard chemotherapy due to age, health problems, or organ function issues.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06533579RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for CD19-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new gene therapy treatment for people with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma that have the CD19 marker and have not responded to other treatments. The therapy uses a virus to deliver a gene to target and kill cancer cells.
Houston, TexasAges 13–90 - NCT05834244RecruitingPhase 1
New and relapsed AML treatment using azacitidine, venetoclax, and NK cells
This Phase 1 trial tests a combination of azacitidine, venetoclax, and donor NK cells to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or certain AML-like syndromes. It’s designed mainly to find safe dosing and whether this approach can control the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 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.

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.
