Recruiting studies
- NCT04195633RecruitingPhase 2
Haploidentical donor stem cell transplant to treat blood cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a specific stem cell transplant method (from a related “half-matched” donor) plus conditioning chemo and radiation can improve outcomes for several blood cancers. It may help people whose cancer is in remission but still considered high risk, or those who have had limited response after prior treatment.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 6 months+ - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04314219RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing GVHD after leukemia stem cell transplant
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving post-transplant cyclophosphamide can better prevent a dangerous immune complication called GVHD compared with the usual standard medicines. You may be eligible if you are in remission from acute leukemia and planning a fully matched related-donor stem cell transplant.
RiyadhAges 14–65 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 years+ - NCT04375631RecruitingPhase 1
Study of chemo plus donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a specific chemotherapy plan followed by a reduced-intensity donor stem cell transplant for people with relapsed or treatment-resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML), certain myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). It may help by using donor stem cells to rebuild the bone marrow after intensive cancer treatment, in people who are not responding well to standard therapies.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04440267RecruitingPhase 2
Tested leukemia treatment for mixed-type acute leukemia
This Phase 2 study tests a leukemia-based treatment for people with acute leukemia that doesn’t clearly belong to one type. It aims to improve outcomes for patients who meet specific health and heart/lab requirements.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 14 years+ - 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+ - NCT04716452RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a ceramide liposome drug for relapsed or resistant AML
This Phase 1 trial tests a new targeted treatment (C6 ceramide in a tiny fat-like capsule) for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to see how the drug works and how safe it is in this setting.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04726241RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing blood and bone marrow samples in young leukemia patients
This trial looks at blood and bone marrow samples from children and teens whose leukemia has come back or is hard to treat. The goal is to better understand the disease and guide future options for these patients.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 22 years - NCT04747912RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy-free early treatment for Ph+ ALL using inotuzumab
This Phase 2 trial tests a treatment strategy for newly diagnosed Ph+ B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that avoids traditional chemotherapy during the early “induction” phase, using inotuzumab ozogamicin instead. If it works, it could help control the leukemia while reducing exposure to chemotherapy early on.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04771572RecruitingPhase 1
Oral drug LP-118 for relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests an oral (by mouth) drug called LP-118 in people whose blood cancers have returned or did not respond to prior treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see whether it can shrink or control the cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 13 years+ - NCT04774393RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study for AML after it returns or resists treatment
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of medicines (decitabine/cedazuridine, venetoclax, and ivosidenib or enasidenib) in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or hasn’t responded. It may help control the leukemia by targeting cancer cells and specific genetic changes in the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04777916Recruiting
Study for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
This non-interventional study follows adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to better understand the disease and how patients do in real-world care. It may help researchers compare outcomes across different types of AML, but you would not receive a study treatment just for joining.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04797767RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Venetoclax plus CLAG-M for high-risk AML
This trial studies venetoclax combined with CLAG-M chemotherapy to treat adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or related high-grade blood cancers. It aims to improve control of the disease, especially in people whose AML is considered high risk.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04872478RecruitingPhase 1
Early-phase drug safety and dosing study for relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests MRX-2843 in teenagers and adults whose leukemia has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. The main goals are to find safe dosing and learn how the body processes the drug.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 12 years+ - NCT04881240RecruitingPhase 1
Donor-made memory T-cell therapy for hard-to-treat leukemia
This Phase 1 study tests an immune-cell therapy made from a matched donor to treat relapsed or refractory CD19-positive leukemia. It may help patients who have limited options, especially those who cannot receive the standard donor-cell or self-made (autologous) CD19 CAR T-cell therapy.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 21 years - NCT04888741RecruitingPhase 2
Trial testing reduced immune T cells before stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 trial looks at a transplant approach that reduces harmful immune cells (T cells) before or during an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It may help lower the risk of transplant complications while still letting the donor immune system fight the blood cancer.
Cardiff, WalesAges 16–70 - NCT04905810RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine or decitabine plus venetoclax for AML after prior failure
This trial studies whether adding venetoclax to either azacitidine or decitabine can treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) when earlier “hypomethylating” treatment has stopped working. You might be a candidate if you’ve already tried azacitidine or decitabine for a related blood condition and it failed, and you meet the health-safety limits.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05735717RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell transplant using depleted receptors for blood cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a specialized stem cell transplant that removes certain immune “T-cell” receptors to help treat blood cancers like acute leukemia. It may help your body rebuild a healthier immune system after high-dose treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 60 years - NCT04988555RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an investigational drug for high-risk acute leukemia
This Phase 1/2 study tests enzomenib (DSP-5336) in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute leukemia (and, in some places, certain other blood cancers). The goal is to see how the drug works and how safe it is, especially for leukemia cases with specific genetic changes (KMT2A/MLL or NPM1).
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05010122RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing venetoclax and gilteritinib with ASTX727 for FLT3 leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of medicines (ASTX727, venetoclax, and gilteritinib) for adults with FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for people whose disease has come back, is not responding, or (for some) is newly diagnosed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05014165Recruiting
Cord blood study for leukemia with stored birth samples
This study looks at leukemia “genetic clues” using special stored samples, including cord blood saved at birth. It may help researchers better understand leukemia biology and how common mutations may show up early.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 25 years - NCT05038696RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell treatment for hard-to-control B-ALL
This Phase 1 trial tests a personalized “CAR T” cell treatment for people with relapsed or treatment-resistant B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). It may help the immune system find and kill leukemia cells, especially when leukemia has not responded to standard treatment.
SingaporeAges 6 months–80 years - NCT05043571RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed T-cell leukemia
This early-phase trial tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (CAR T-cells) aimed at T-cell leukemia that has come back or did not respond. It may help by targeting leukemia cells with a specific marker (CD7), especially in patients who failed standard treatment.
SingaporeAges 6 months–65 years
