Study of REM-422 for AML or high-risk MDS
This trial tests an experimental oral medication called REM-422 for people with AML (a type of blood cancer) that has not responded to treatment or has come back, or for those with high-risk MDS. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07053059RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T-cell therapy to prevent relapse in high-risk B-cell ALL
This trial tests a new CAR T-cell therapy (obecabtagene autoleucel) given as a consolidation treatment after initial remission to prevent relapse in people with high-risk B-cell ALL. It's for patients who have achieved first remission but still have high-risk features in their leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06769490RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib and Quizartinib combination for AML
This trial tests two targeted drugs, ziftomenib and quizartinib, together for people with a certain type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to find the best dose and see if the combination helps.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03850574RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tuspetinib for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This early-phase study tests tuspetinib in people with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to learn whether it is safe and tolerable, how the drug behaves in the body, and whether it shows signs of benefit.
Huston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06448013RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with chemo for pediatric AML
This trial tests a new drug, ziftomenib, combined with two standard chemotherapies (venetoclax and gemtuzumab) for children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It looks for specific genetic changes in the leukemia cells.
Houston, TexasAges 3–21 - NCT06401603RecruitingPhase 1
Study of three drugs for advanced CML and Ph+ AML
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (decitabine, lisaftoclax, and olverembatinib) for people with advanced chronic myeloid leukemia or Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute myeloid leukemia who have not responded to or could not tolerate previous treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06285890RecruitingPhase 1
HC-7366 study for relapsed or refractory AML
This trial tests a new drug called HC-7366 for people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. It aims to see if this drug is safe and helpful when standard options are no longer working.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05955261RecruitingPhase 2
Study of adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy for pediatric AML
This trial tests a new combination of a targeted pill (venetoclax) with standard chemotherapy for children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The hope is that adding venetoclax will improve how well the chemo works and reduce the chance of the leukemia coming back.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 4 weeks–21 years - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Amarillo, TexasAges 40–75 - NCT04811560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a targeted medicine for certain relapsed leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial tests bleximenib, a targeted medicine, for people whose acute leukemia has specific gene changes and has come back or does not respond to treatment. It may help by attacking these leukemia-specific targets when other treatment options have run out.
San Antonio, TexasAges 2 years+ - NCT04659616RecruitingPhase 1
Pemigatinib after standard chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This Phase 1 trial studies whether adding pemigatinib after standard “7+3” chemotherapy can improve outcomes in certain newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the drug works in a very specific AML genetic group.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03586609RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for older adults with untreated AML
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of venetoclax, cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and azacitidine in people with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It may help shrink the leukemia and improve blood counts by trying a stronger, multi-drug approach.
Houston, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT03571321RecruitingPhase 1
Ruxolitinib plus chemotherapy for Ph-like B-ALL
This early-phase study tests whether adding ruxolitinib (a targeted medicine) to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes in adolescents and young adults with newly diagnosed Ph-like B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It targets specific genetic features (“JAK-targetable signature”) thought to make the leukemia more responsive to JAK-blocking treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–39 - NCT01409161RecruitingPhase 2
Tretinoin and arsenic drugs for newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia
This trial studies how well a combination of tretinoin (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO)—with or without another antibody-like drug called gemtuzumab—treats people with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The goal is to see if these medicines work better together and are safe.
Houston, TexasAges 10 years+ - NCT07581002RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New AML Treatment With Three Drug Combination Study
This study tests a new three-drug combination (pivekimab sunirine, venetoclax, and azacitidine) for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia in patients who cannot tolerate intensive chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective at controlling the disease.

This trial tests an all-pill (oral) combination treatment—menin inhibitor SNDX-5613 plus decitabine/cedazuridine (ASTX727) and venetoclax—for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It’s designed for people who are newly diagnosed and can’t get the strongest chemotherapy, or for certain other AML groups who may still benefit.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT05183035RecruitingPhase 3
Testing venetoclax for children with relapsed AML
This study tests a drug called venetoclax in children and young adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has returned after treatment. The drug may help block cancer cell growth. The study also looks at safety and how well the drug works when given alone or with other treatments.
Dallas, TexasAges 4 weeks–21 years - NCT03150693RecruitingPhase 3
New treatment for young adults with CD22-positive ALL
This Phase 3 trial tests adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard chemotherapy for newly diagnosed CD22-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It may help more patients achieve remission and reduce the risk of the leukemia coming back, while also checking safety and tolerability.
Houston, TexasAges 18–39 - NCT02877303RecruitingPhase 2
Frontline drug treatment for newly diagnosed B-cell leukemia
This trial tests a combination of targeted and chemotherapy medicines as first treatment for newly diagnosed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or related lymphoblastic lymphoma. It aims to improve how well treatment controls the leukemia and how long people can stay in remission.

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.
