- NCT05509855Enrolling by invitation
Long-term safety follow-up for WU-CART-007 treatment
This study checks how safe WU-CART-007 is over time after you received it. It mainly helps doctors understand long-term side effects and outcomes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04990102RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Trial drug to help prevent relapse in AML
This trial tests CPX-351 to help stop acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from coming back after you’ve reached remission. It’s for people who are not able to receive a stem cell transplant and need a new way to reduce relapse risk.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–30 - NCT05442216RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tagraxofusp, azacitidine, and venetoclax for secondary AML
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (tagraxofusp, azacitidine, and venetoclax) for people newly diagnosed with a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has developed after treatment with certain prior drugs (hypomethylating agents). The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07121140Recruiting
Home blood transfusions for cancer patients
This trial tests whether it is safe to give blood transfusions at home instead of in the hospital. It is for people who need regular blood transfusions for their cancer care.

Personalized CAR-T for children with high-risk B-ALL
This trial studies a personalized type of immune therapy (CAR-T) made from your own cells to treat pediatric B-ALL that has returned or not responded to prior treatment. It aims to see how well this manufactured CAR-T works and how safely it can be given.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–29 years - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05702645Recruiting
Down syndrome long-term study after leukemia treatment
This study follows children and young adults with Down syndrome who have survived acute leukemia (ALL or AML) to learn about their longer-term health after treatment ends. It may help families and doctors understand what health problems to watch for and how to provide better follow-up care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 6–39 - NCT05554406RecruitingPhase 2
New drug therapy for high-risk AML
This trial is testing new drug combinations for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk AML who have not yet started treatment. It aims to find more effective therapies for this aggressive form of leukemia.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–59 - NCT05564390RecruitingPhase 2
MyeloMATCH screening to match you to AML or MDS treatment
This study screens people with newly suspected acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to see which treatment approach fits best—either a specific study treatment or standard care. It may help by directing you to the right option and by sharing your blood/bone marrow samples for research.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06846606RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AUTX-703 for advanced blood cancers
This trial tests an experimental drug, AUTX-703, for people with certain blood cancers (AML or MDS) that have returned or not improved after other treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and helps control the disease.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07771803RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Soursop tea study for advanced blood cancer
This study tests whether drinking soursop tea can help people with advanced acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or multiple myeloma (MM) when other treatments have stopped working. It aims to see if the tea is safe and can reduce signs of the disease.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Mullica Hill, New JerseyAges 40–75 - NCT03509961RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing total body radiation for children with leukemia transplants
This study looks at whether some children and young adults with B-ALL can safely get a transplant without total body irradiation (TBI), based on special leukemia test results. It’s meant to help lower radiation-related risks while keeping leukemia control strong.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 1–25 - 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.
Newark, DelawareAges 18 years+ - NCT06001788RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new drug combination called ziftomenib for people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. Researchers will check how safe it is and what side effects happen.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 18 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.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 18–59 - NCT02677064Recruiting
Study on barriers to stem cell transplant for acute leukemia
This study looks at what makes it hard for people with acute leukemia or related blood cancers to get a stem cell transplant. It aims to find ways to help more people get this treatment.

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.
