A study of a new cell therapy for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma
This trial tests an investigational cell therapy that uses donated immune cells to find and destroy cancer cells in patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this therapy can help achieve remission for these patients.
San Antonio, TexasAges 6 months+ - NCT01853631RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for CD19-positive B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized form of immune therapy called CAR T cells that are designed to recognize CD19, a marker on certain B-cell cancers. It may help people with difficult-to-treat (recurrent or relapsed) B-cell lymphoma or leukemia (ALL/CLL).
Houston, TexasAges Up to 75 years - NCT06561074RecruitingPhase 2
Study of calaspargase, decitabine, and venetoclax for young T-cell cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (calaspargase, decitabine, and venetoclax) for children, teens, and young adults with T-cell leukemia or lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help destroy cancer cells.
Houston, TexasAges 1 month–21 years - NCT06287229RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T therapy for B-cell ALL after initial treatment
This trial tests whether a special immune cell therapy (brexucabtagene autoleucel, or CAR T therapy) can help people with B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) after reducing the number of leukemia cells with a chemo-immunotherapy combination. It is for patients whose cancer has returned or is hard to treat, or for those newly diagnosed with a high-risk form of ALL.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03113643RecruitingPhase 1
SL-401 with standard drugs for hard-to-treat blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests SL-401, given with azacitidine and sometimes venetoclax, to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the combination can improve blood cancer control.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06173518RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for children with B-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests a CAR T-cell therapy that targets CD19 on cancer cells. It is for children whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma has come back or not responded to other treatments.
San Antonio, TexasAges birth–18 years - NCT07586618RecruitingPhase 1
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.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05645718RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus targeted antibodies for relapsed childhood B-ALL
This Phase 2 study tests a combination treatment for children, teens, or young adults whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) has come back or did not respond to initial therapy. It may help patients who cannot safely receive certain standard medicines like anthracyclines or who cannot tolerate PEG-asparaginase.

Houston, TexasAges 12–80 - 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.
San Antonio, TexasAges Up to 1 year - NCT04708054RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Venetoclax with busulfan chemo for high-risk AML or MDS
This study tests whether adding venetoclax to a specific busulfan-based chemotherapy plan improves outcomes for people with high-risk AML or MDS. It mainly targets patients whose leukemia/marrow disease still has high-risk features or measurable disease after initial treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT04093570Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Extension study for people continuing ASTX727 from a prior trial
This study checks whether continuing ASTX727 for people who already benefited from it in an earlier Taiho study is safe and effective. It may be an option if you stayed on ASTX727 at the end of your parent study and your doctor felt it was helping you.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04256317RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Azacitidine pills with or without venetoclax for certain blood cancers
This study tests whether a pill form of azacitidine (ASTX030) helps people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), CMML, or AML. Some groups may also receive venetoclax; the goal is better blood cancer control for people who aren’t good candidates for intensive chemotherapy.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03589729RecruitingPhase 2
Dexrazoxane to help protect the heart during blood-cancer chemo
This Phase 2 study tests dexrazoxane, a heart-protecting medicine, to reduce heart side effects from chemotherapy in people with certain blood cancers. If you qualify, you would receive dexrazoxane along with chemotherapy, and the team will monitor your heart function closely.

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.
