New Drug 4A10 for Hard-to-Treat Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Lymphoma
This is an early-stage study testing a new experimental drug (4A10) in patients whose acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma has returned or stopped responding to standard treatments. Researchers want to learn if the drug is safe and how it works in the body.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04972942RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy for high-risk T-cell blood cancers after transplant
This Phase 1 study tests a targeted immune treatment given after strong pre-treatment (myeloablative chemo plus total-body radiation) before or along with an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back in young people with high-risk T-cell ALL or certain T-cell lymphomas.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 39 years - NCT05848687RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Newborns with CD19 leukemia may try a combined infant therapy
This early-phase study is testing a “total therapy” treatment plan for very young babies (diagnosed within the first year of life) with certain types of leukemia that carry the CD19 marker. It may help find safer and more effective treatment for infants with this disease, especially soon after diagnosis.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 1 year - NCT06934382RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for relapsed T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called anti-CD7 CAR-T cells for children and young adults with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma that has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if these specially engineered immune cells can find and destroy cancer cells that carry the CD7 protein.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–29 years - NCT03680677Recruiting
Checking frailty to guide treatment in older blood cancer patients
This study checks “frailty” (how strong and able you are to function) to help choose better treatment for people age 60+ with certain blood cancers like acute leukemia or MDS. It may help clinicians tailor care before major treatments like transplant or CAR T-cell therapy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 60 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07007312RecruitingPhase 3
Ziftomenib plus standard chemo for certain AML patients
This trial tests a new drug, ziftomenib, added to standard chemotherapy for adults with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have specific gene changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement). It aims to see if the combination works better than standard treatment alone.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06652438RecruitingPhase 3
Revumenib plus standard drugs for NPM1 or KMT2A AML
This trial tests adding a new targeted drug, revumenib, to two standard AML medicines (azacitidine and venetoclax) for adults with a specific gene change (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) who cannot receive strong chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination works better.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06395103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zilovertamab vedotin for blood cancers and solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zilovertamab vedotin for children and young adults with certain blood cancers or solid tumors. The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells, and the study will see if it is safe and effective.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 6 months–25 years - NCT05945849RecruitingPhase 1
Modified stem cells and CAR T cells for hard-to-treat AML
This trial tests a new approach for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has not gotten better with standard treatments. First, you receive modified stem cells, then specially designed immune cells (CAR T cells) that target a protein called CD33 on leukemia cells. The goal is to see if this combination can safely help your body fight the leukemia.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05674175RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

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.
