Recruiting studies
- NCT05401097RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus IDH-targeted pills for AML patients who can’t get intensive chemo
This Phase 2 trial tests different ways of using medicines that target IDH mutations (IDH-targeted treatment) plus venetoclax in people newly diagnosed with IDH-mutated AML. It’s designed for patients who cannot safely receive intensive induction chemotherapy, to see which approach works best and is tolerable.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - 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.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 15 years+ - 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 - NCT05332054Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up after prior Caribou treatment
This study checks your health over time after you previously took a Caribou medicine (or got it through a special access program). It helps researchers learn what happens in the longer run after the treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 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 - NCT05289687RecruitingPhase 2
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+ - NCT05287568RecruitingPhase 1
Testing azacitidine plus venetoclax for acute myeloid leukemia
This early-phase trial tests whether azacitidine (CC-486) plus venetoclax can help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is not APL. It’s designed to find safe dosing and see how well the combination works for newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory AML.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT05260528RecruitingPhase 2
CPX-351 vs standard chemo for certain adult AML types
This study tests whether CPX-351 can work better than standard intensive chemotherapy in adults with newly diagnosed AML that fits specific genetic patterns. It aims to improve how long patients stay in control of the leukemia.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05212103Enrolling by invitation
PET scan study for specific cancers using a new tracer
This study uses a PET scan with a special radioactive tracer (68Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9) to look at cancer in certain people. It may help doctors better see cancer-related activity and guide treatment planning for selected cancers.
TurkuAges 18–100 - NCT05188170RecruitingPhase 1
Niclosamide for children and young adults with difficult leukemia
This Phase 1 study tests niclosamide, a medicine being studied as a new treatment, for pediatric and young adult AML that has come back or did not respond. It mainly focuses on whether the drug can be given safely and what dose might work best.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 2–30 - NCT05133882RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a targeted pill with chemotherapy for newly diagnosed AML
This study tests clifutinib (a targeted medicine) combined with chemotherapy in people newly diagnosed with AML. It aims to see if this combination is safer and more effective, including in older adults and people who may not tolerate strong chemotherapy.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05082519RecruitingPhase 2
Calorie restriction and exercise to improve leukemia treatment in young patients
This study tests whether a special diet (calorie restriction) and increased physical activity can make chemotherapy work better for young people with B-ALL. Participants will follow a monitored diet and exercise plan during their first month of treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 7–25 - NCT05101551RecruitingPhase 1
Talazoparib with chemotherapy for relapsed childhood AML
This Phase 1 study tests whether talazoparib combined with chemotherapy is safe and potentially effective for children and young adults whose leukemia has come back or did not respond. It focuses on finding the best way to give the treatment and watching for side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 21 years - NCT04953910RecruitingPhase 1
Oral decitabine for cancers with liver problems
This Phase 1 trial studies how a pill form of decitabine/cedazuridine behaves in the body and how safe it is for people whose livers don’t work normally. It may help doctors better understand dosing and safety in patients with hepatic impairment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04953897RecruitingPhase 1
Oral decitabine for cancer patients with kidney problems
This Phase 1 trial studies how an oral combination cancer medicine behaves in the body (dose handling and safety) in people with kidney impairment. It may help doctors learn the safest way to use this treatment when kidney function is reduced.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04990102RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Trial drug to help prevent relapse in AML
This trial tests CPX-351 to help stop acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from coming back after you’ve reached remission. It’s for people who are not able to receive a stem cell transplant and need a new way to reduce relapse risk.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04977180RecruitingPhase 2
Beta blocker and lisinopril to protect the heart in AML
This Phase 2 study tests whether a blood-pressure medicine plan (a beta blocker plus lisinopril) can protect the heart in people newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are starting anthracycline chemotherapy. It looks at heart safety by requiring a good heart scan before treatment and careful medication eligibility.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04869683Recruiting
Collecting blood and tissue samples in myelodysplastic syndrome

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 910 recruiting acute leukemia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acute leukemia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute leukemia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
