MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT04293562RecruitingPhase 3
Testing targeted drugs plus chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This study compares standard chemotherapy to chemotherapy plus CPX-351 and/or gilteritinib in children and young adults newly diagnosed with AML. It aims to see whether adding these targeted treatments improves outcomes, especially for certain gene changes like FLT3.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 21 years - NCT04318678RecruitingPhase 1
CD123 CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed leukemia and related cancers
This early-phase study tests a lab-made immune therapy (CD123 CAR T cells) for children and young adults up to age 21 whose cancer has come back or didn’t respond to treatment. The goal is to see if these CAR T cells can find and attack cancer cells that carry a marker called CD123.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 21 years - NCT04512716RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Radioimmunotherapy then CD19 CAR T for hard-to-treat blood cancers
This early-phase study tests a two-step treatment: first a targeted radioactive antibody (131-I apamistamab) and then CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. It is for adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is not responding or has come back, aiming to shrink cancer using engineered immune cells.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04532203RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T therapy for leukemia or lymphoma in the brain
This early-phase study tests CAR-T cells—immune cells engineered to recognize cancer—for people whose leukemia or lymphoma has spread to the central nervous system (the brain/spinal fluid). It may help shrink or control hard-to-treat (relapsed or refractory) cancers in the brain.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3–75 - NCT04532281RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CD19 CAR-T therapy for relapsed or resistant blood cancers
This early-phase study tests a treatment called CD19 CAR-T, made from your immune cells, for people whose CD19+ blood cancer has come back or did not respond. It may help your body better recognize and attack cancer cells, but eligibility is tight and the study is still early.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT04532268RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CD19 CAR-T for relapsed or resistant B-cell blood cancers
This early-phase study tests “humanized” CD19 CAR-T therapy for people whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or B-cell lymphoma (NHL) has come back or didn’t respond. It’s designed to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells carrying the CD19 marker.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3–75 - NCT04544592RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CD19 CAR-T for children and young adults with B-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a one-time, lab-made immune cell treatment (CD19 CAR-T) for certain B-cell blood cancers in children and young adults. It may help people whose leukemia or lymphoma is not responding to standard treatment or has come back.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1 month–30 years - NCT04628026RecruitingPhase 3
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for new AML or high-risk MDS
This trial tests adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy to help people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk MDS (MDS-EB-2) live longer and reduce cancer activity. You may benefit if you’re eligible for intensive chemotherapy and meet specific blood, organ, and treatment timing requirements.
