Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT04493164RecruitingPhase 2
CPX-351 plus ivosidenib for IDH1-mutated leukemia or high-risk MDS
This trial tests CPX-351 together with ivosidenib in people with IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to improve disease control, especially in tumors with a specific genetic change called IDH1.
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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
McAllen, TexasAges 12 months–25 years - NCT03802695RecruitingPhase 1
Orca-Q pill to help during stem cell transplant
This Phase 1 trial studies Orca-Q to see if it is safe and works when added around the time of an allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplant for certain blood cancers. If you qualify, the study may offer a new option for managing the transplant immune response.
Houston, TexasAges 12–78 - NCT03874052RecruitingPhase 1
Ruxolitinib plus venetoclax and azacitidine for relapsed AML
This early-phase study tests a combination of ruxolitinib with venetoclax, with or without azacitidine, for adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or does not respond to treatment. It may help by stopping cancer cells from growing and improving blood counts, with the exact plan guided by the study arm you’re assigned to.
Dallas, 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+ - NCT03629171RecruitingPhase 2
Liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine and venetoclax for acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs packaged in a special fat coating (liposome) plus a targeted pill called venetoclax for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back, not responded, or is newly diagnosed. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03661307RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of quizartinib, decitabine, and venetoclax for acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
This trial combines three drugs to treat certain types of leukemia or a related blood condition. It may be an option for people who cannot have standard intensive chemo, or for those whose disease has come back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT03263572RecruitingPhase 2
Study medicines for Philadelphia-positive ALL or relapsed leukemia
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of medicines to treat Philadelphia chromosome–positive (Ph-positive) or BCR-ABL–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), including cases that have come back or did not respond. It may help by targeting specific leukemia signals while also aiming to improve disease control.
Houston, TexasAges 18 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+ - NCT02727803RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized natural killer cell therapy for blood cancers
This trial tests a customized immune-cell treatment (NK cells) for certain blood cancers to try to control or eliminate cancer cells. You may qualify if your cancer has come back, did not fully respond, or has higher risk features.
Houston, TexasAges 15–80 - NCT02390635RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PET/MRI scans to find leukemia outside the bone marrow
This Phase 1 study uses special whole-body imaging scans (PET with CT, plus MRI) to look for signs of acute myeloid leukemia outside the bone marrow. It may help doctors better see where leukemia is and guide future care.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Amarillo, TexasAges Any age - NCT02115295RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for AML, high-risk MDS, or blast CML
This trial tests a combination treatment (venetoclax plus several chemotherapy medicines) for people with AML, high-risk MDS, or CML that has progressed into a blast phase. It may help by killing leukemia-like blood cells and improving disease control.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT01371630RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for certain types of childhood-like leukemia
This early-phase trial studies how well a targeted drug (inotuzumab ozogamicin) combined with chemotherapy treats acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It may help people with newly diagnosed ALL who may not tolerate standard intensive chemotherapy, especially older adults.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00801489RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for AML or high-risk MDS using combination chemo
This trial tests a combination treatment (chemo drugs plus a growth-factor medicine) for people newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or certain high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). It may help by targeting cancer cells in the blood and bone marrow and improving remission chances.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05476770RecruitingPhase 1
Tagraxofusp for children with CD123-positive leukemia
This study tests tagraxofusp, a medicine that targets a marker called CD123 on cancer cells, in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or is resistant to treatment. It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies 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.
