This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (hyper-CVAD) plus a targeted pill called venetoclax for children and young adults with a type of leukemia that has returned or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this combo can help control the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 2–21 - NCT06376162RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with chemo for kids with relapsed acute leukemia
This trial tests a new targeted drug called ziftomenib combined with chemotherapy for children whose leukemia (with specific genetic changes) has come back or is not responding to treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges birth–21 years - NCT07504458RecruitingPhase 3
Study of QTX-2101 for adults with a type of leukemia
This trial tests a new drug, QTX-2101, in people with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) that is low- or intermediate-risk. The study aims to see if the drug works and is safe for those who qualify.
Houston, TexasAges 18–71 - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Austin, TexasAges Up to 12 months - NCT07022678RecruitingPhase 3
Xylitol dental wipes to reduce infection risk in childhood leukemia
This trial tests whether using xylitol dental wipes can lower the risk of bloodstream infections in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are receiving chemotherapy. If you or your child have AML and will have at least two cycles of chemo that include cytarabine, this study may help reduce infection risk.
Austin, TexasAges 1–25 - 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.
Amarillo, TexasAges 12 months–25 years - NCT03214562RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for acute leukemia
This trial studies how well venetoclax combined with chemotherapy treats newly diagnosed or returning (relapsed) or hard-to-treat (refractory) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It’s mainly for people who can’t use standard AML therapy well, or whose disease came back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03471260RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ivosidenib and venetoclax for IDH1-mutated leukemia or MDS
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether the medicines ivosidenib and venetoclax (with or without azacitidine) can help people with certain “IDH1-mutated” blood cancers like AML or high-risk MDS. It’s meant for patients whose disease has come back, doesn’t respond, or who can’t safely get standard chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03629171RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus chemo to treat certain AML types
This trial tests a combination of venetoclax with liposome chemotherapy (daunorubicin and cytarabine) for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is back after treatment or not responding, and for some newly diagnosed cases. It aims to shrink leukemia and help more people achieve remission.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03630991RecruitingPhase 1
Calcium chelator medicine for AML or MDS during chemotherapy
This Phase 1 study tests whether edetate calcium disodium (also called succimer) can be safely given to people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) while they are on chemotherapy. The goal is to learn the safest dose and whether it has signs of helping the blood cancer respond to treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 1 year+ - NCT03683433RecruitingPhase 2
Enasidenib plus azacitidine for IDH2-mutated AML
This trial studies the combination of enasidenib and azacitidine in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has an IDH2 gene mutation. It may help control the leukemia when prior treatments didn’t work or the disease came back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04047641RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Quizartinib with chemotherapy for new or returning leukemia
This trial tests a combination of anti-leukemia drugs (including quizartinib) together with chemotherapy for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a rare mixed-type leukemia, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It may help by trying to better control cancer in people whose disease is newly diagnosed or has returned/not responded to prior treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04065399RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing revumenib for relapsed acute leukemia with certain gene changes
This trial tests revumenib, a targeted medicine, to treat acute leukemia that has come back or hasn’t fully gone away. It may help people whose leukemia has specific gene changes (like KMT2A or NPM1) by trying to better control the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 4 weeks+ - NCT04140487RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drugs for certain FLT3-mutated blood cancers that have returned
This trial tests a combination of three medicines—azacitidine, venetoclax, and gilteritinib—in people with specific gene changes (FLT3 mutations) in leukemia and related bone marrow diseases that have come back or are hard to treat. The goal is to see if this drug combination can control the disease and improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04260022RecruitingPhase 1
Drug study for hard-to-treat CML or Ph+ ALL
This Phase 1 study tests HQP1351 for people with CML or Ph+ ALL that has not responded well to standard targeted pills (TKIs), or those who could not tolerate them. It’s designed to see whether the treatment can work and how safe it is for this difficult-to-treat group.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04315324RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug OBI-3424 for relapsed T-cell blood cancer
This trial tests OBI-3424, an investigational medicine, in adults and children with relapsed or hard-to-treat T-cell acute leukemia or certain T-cell lymphoma. It may help by shrinking cancer when standard treatments 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.
