Recruiting studies near Rochester
- NCT06917911RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two drug additions to standard chemotherapy for a type of acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests whether adding venetoclax or gemtuzumab ozogamicin to the usual chemotherapy helps people with a specific genetic type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) respond better. It may improve chances of remission.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18–59 - NCT06852222RecruitingPhase 3
Study of bleximenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine for newly diagnosed AML
This trial tests a new drug combination (bleximenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine) for people with a specific genetic type of AML who cannot receive strong chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination is safer and more effective.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03964506RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Hyperbaric oxygen plus donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This early-phase trial studies whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, along with a donor stem cell transplant, can improve outcomes for certain blood cancers. It may help by supporting the body during transplant and recovery, but it is still being tested for safety and effectiveness.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT05237258Recruiting
Compare palliative care approaches for people with high-risk AML
This study tests a specialized (targeted) palliative care program versus usual oncology care for people hospitalized with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see if this palliative approach improves comfort, support, and care planning during intensive treatment.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18–120 - NCT06773936Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Adding asciminib to usual care for adults with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL
This trial tests if adding asciminib, a targeted pill, to standard treatment works better for adults newly diagnosed with a specific type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). It is for those who are older, or who cannot or choose not to have intensive chemotherapy.
Rochester, New YorkAges 60 years+ - NCT05875805Recruiting

Rochester, New YorkAges 18–39 - 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.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03959085RecruitingPhase 3
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for high-risk childhood leukemia
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding inotuzumab to standard post-induction chemotherapy improves outcomes for children and young teens with high-risk B-ALL, mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or certain high-risk B-LLy. It may help by targeting leukemia cells more directly, but participation depends on specific age, lab results, and medical history rules.
Rochester, New YorkAges 12 months–25 years - NCT04293562RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing chemotherapy options for newly diagnosed AML in young patients
This trial compares standard chemotherapy with newer drug combinations (CPX-351 and gilteritinib) for children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer. It aims to find which treatment works better and who might benefit from targeted therapy based on specific genetic changes (FLT3 mutations).
Rochester, New YorkAges 6 months–21 years - NCT03016806Recruiting
Umbilical cord blood transplant from unrelated donors
This trial studies transplanting healthy blood-forming cells from an umbilical cord blood donor who is not related to you. It may help people with certain blood cancers, immune disorders, or other serious diseases when a standard transplant plan is needed.
Rochester, New YorkAges 2 months–75 years - NCT03739814RecruitingPhase 2
Test inotuzumab, blinatumomab, and possibly ponatinib for CD22 ALL
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of medicines (inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab), with or without ponatinib, for people with CD22-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It aims to improve remission and control leukemia cells, including in the bone marrow.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04726241RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing blood and bone marrow samples in young leukemia patients
This trial looks at blood and bone marrow samples from children and teens whose leukemia has come back or is hard to treat. The goal is to better understand the disease and guide future options for these patients.
Rochester, New YorkAges Up to 22 years - NCT01311258Recruiting
Tracking leftover cancer cells in AML or high-risk MDS
This study checks for “minimal residual disease,” meaning tiny numbers of leukemia cells that can remain after treatment. Results may help doctors better monitor your response and risk of relapse in AML or high-risk MDS.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 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.
Rochester, New YorkAges Up to 12 months - NCT06207123RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combo for T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (LP-118, ponatinib, vincristine, and dexamethasone) for people with T-cell leukemia or lymphoma that has returned or not responded to prior treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06317649RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax with hypomethylating agents for older or unfit adults with FLT3-mutated AML
This trial tests a combination of medicines (venetoclax and a hypomethylating agent) for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have a FLT3 mutation. It may be an option for older adults or those who cannot tolerate intensive chemotherapy.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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.
Rochester, New YorkAges Any age - 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.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18–59 - NCT05429632RecruitingPhase 3
Mocravimod to prevent relapse after bone marrow transplant for AML
This Phase 3 trial tests mocravimod, added to standard care, to help keep acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from coming back after an allogeneic bone marrow (stem cell) transplant. It may help by supporting long-term remission during the transplant recovery period.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18–75 - 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.
Rochester, New YorkAges 1–30 - NCT05732103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing CTX-712 for AML or high-risk MDS after prior treatment
This early-phase study tests CTX-712, a new cancer treatment, in people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or certain high-risk blood cancers came back or did not respond to prior therapy. It may help shrink the cancer and control the disease by targeting it differently than standard treatments.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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.
Rochester, New YorkAges 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.
