Daratumumab for hard-to-clear T-cell leukemia traces
This Phase 2 trial tests daratumumab (a targeted antibody medicine) in people with T-cell ALL whose leukemia is not fully gone at very low levels. The goal is to eliminate “minimal residual disease” (MRD) that can predict relapse, so treatment may be more effective after intensive chemotherapy.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05333302RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T treatment study for children and young adults with CD19 leukemia
This Phase 1 study tests a CAR-T cell treatment made to target CD19 in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to see how the treatment works and how safe it is in this age group.
Minsk, Minsk OblastAges 1–30 - NCT05334693RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor immune cells to help prevent AML return after treatment
This study tests an “immune cell therapy” made from a family donor to help children and young adults with AML stay in remission after chemotherapy. It may help reduce the chance that AML comes back, but eligibility depends on remission status, donor suitability, and avoiding certain infections or liver issues.
Minsk, Minsk OblastAges 6 months–21 years - NCT05342584RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax plus intensive chemo for AML and advanced MDS
This early-phase study tests whether venetoclax combined with intensive chemotherapy can treat AML (acute leukemia) and certain advanced MDS. It’s for people who are newly diagnosed (or certain high-risk blood cancers) and can safely tolerate strong treatment.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT05366569Recruiting
CAR T-cell therapy for certain blood cancers after relapse
This trial studies a type of immune therapy (CAR T-cells) for people whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or did not respond after at least two treatment attempts. It aims to improve outcomes in carefully selected patients who can safely receive the treatment.
BresciaAges 18–70 - NCT05375617Recruiting
Study for newly diagnosed childhood cancers in Europe
This study follows children and teens with newly diagnosed certain leukemia (ALL) and certain favorable brain tumors to learn best care and outcomes. It may help your team compare standard treatments and monitor health over time.
New York, New YorkAges 3–21 - NCT05376111RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus azacitidine for newly diagnosed T-ALL
This Phase 2 study tests whether venetoclax combined with azacitidine can treat newly diagnosed T-ALL, a type of leukemia. It may help reduce cancer activity and improve outcomes if you meet the safety and treatment timing requirements.
