Acute Leukemia clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 130 recruiting acute leukemia studies with a site in California — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT04905810RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine or decitabine plus venetoclax for AML after prior failure
This trial studies whether adding venetoclax to either azacitidine or decitabine can treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) when earlier “hypomethylating” treatment has stopped working. You might be a candidate if you’ve already tried azacitidine or decitabine for a related blood condition and it failed, and you meet the health-safety limits.

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.
Acute Leukemia trials in other states
Common questions
- Are there acute leukemia clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 130 recruiting acute leukemia studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a acute leukemia study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute leukemia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New acute leukemia studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
