We’re tracking 149 recruiting acute leukemia studies with a site in Texas — including Early Phase 1, Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT01515527RecruitingPhase 2
Cladribine plus low-dose cytarabine and decitabine for AML or MDS
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy plan (cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and decitabine) for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to shrink the leukemia/MDS and improve outcomes, including for certain people who may not tolerate standard treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 60 years+ - NCT05010564RecruitingPhase 1
TRICAR-ALL CAR-T treatment for tough childhood leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests a customized CAR-T cell therapy for children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that keeps coming back or doesn’t respond to treatment. It aims to find a safer and effective way to control leukemia by targeting specific markers on the leukemia cells.
Houston, TexasAges 1–25 - NCT07220993RecruitingPhase 1
Modified immune cells for aggressive T-cell cancers
This trial tests a new treatment using specially engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) from a past stem cell donor to attack cancer cells in people with certain types of T-cell cancers that have returned after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this treatment can lead to remission so a second stem cell transplant can be done.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 75 years - NCT03081910RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells made from your own cells to treat CD5 tumors
This early-phase trial tests a type of immune-cell therapy (CAR T cells) made using T cells with a CD5-targeting “zipper” to treat certain relapsed T-cell cancers. The goal is to see if the treatment can help shrink or clear the cancer, especially enough to move toward a stem cell transplant plan.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 75 years - NCT03383575RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine plus enasidenib for IDH2-mutant MDS
This trial tests whether combining azacitidine with enasidenib helps people with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has an IDH2 mutation. It’s designed for people who are either new to “hypomethylating” treatment or whose MDS returned/worsened after it.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT05986240RecruitingPhase 1
Danvatirsen plus venetoclax for advanced blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug called danvatirsen, first alone and then with venetoclax, for people with advanced acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02781883RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug BP1001 with venetoclax and decitabine for AML
This Phase 2 study tests BP1001 added to venetoclax plus decitabine in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to improve leukemia control in people who may not be able to get standard intensive chemotherapy.
Temple, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06613217RecruitingPhase 1
Oral PCLX-001 for relapsed or refractory AML
This trial tests an oral drug called PCLX-001 for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can help control the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03509961RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing total body radiation for children with leukemia transplants
This study looks at whether some children and young adults with B-ALL can safely get a transplant without total body irradiation (TBI), based on special leukemia test results. It’s meant to help lower radiation-related risks while keeping leukemia control strong.
San Antonio, TexasAges 1–25 - NCT06634394RecruitingPhase 1
Study of APVO436 for untreated AML patients
This trial tests a new drug called APVO436 for people with a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has not been treated before. It is for those who cannot receive strong standard chemotherapy due to age, health problems, or organ function issues.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07070219RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of CTD402 for T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests a new drug called CTD402 for people with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) that has come back or not gone away after treatment. The goal is to see if CTD402 can help reduce or eliminate the cancer cells in the bone marrow.
Houston, TexasAges 1 year+ - NCT07059975RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Improved monitoring and treatment for pediatric acute myeloid leukemia
This study tests a new way to monitor and treat AML in children and young adults after their first chemotherapy. It aims to improve outcomes by closely tracking the disease and adjusting treatment as needed.
Houston, TexasAges 1 month–30 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.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06786533RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cells for hard-to-treat AML
This study tests a new treatment made from your own immune cells, engineered to find and attack AML cells. It is for patients whose leukemia has not responded to standard therapy or has come back after treatment, including after a stem cell transplant.
Houston, TexasAges 12 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06395103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zilovertamab vedotin for blood cancers and solid tumors

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.
