Recruiting studies
- NCT05105152RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for kids with CD33 AML that came back
This Phase 1 study tests a type of lab-made immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) made from your T cells to treat AML that has relapsed or not responded, as long as the cancer shows a marker called CD33. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can help control AML after it returns or resists standard therapy.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 30 years - NCT05190471RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for adults with AML that did not respond or returned
This Phase 1 study tests BP1002 in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is refractory (not responding) or relapsed (coming back). It’s early-stage, aiming to find a safe dose and see if the treatment can help people with limited options.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05211570RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug AB8939 for AML after prior treatments
This Phase 1/2 study tests AB8939 in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) whose disease has come back or did not respond to earlier treatment. It may help researchers find a safe dose and learn whether the treatment can control the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05237258Recruiting
Compare palliative care approaches for people with high-risk AML
This study tests a specialized (targeted) palliative care program versus usual oncology care for people hospitalized with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see if this palliative approach improves comfort, support, and care planning during intensive treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–120 - NCT05263284RecruitingPhase 1
Study of 8-chloroadenosine plus venetoclax for relapsed or refractory AML
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, 8-chloroadenosine and venetoclax, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to prior treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the leukemia.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05292664RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax trial for high-risk blood cancers in young patients
This Phase 1 study tests venetoclax to treat certain high-risk blood cancers in children, teens, or young adults. It is designed to see if the drug can work safely for patients whose disease has returned or did not respond to prior treatment.

Study anti-PD1 treatment with Kymriah re-dosing for leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial studies giving an anti-PD1 antibody (like pembrolizumab or nivolumab) along with a second Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) infusion in children and young adults whose B-cell leukemia is coming back or their Kymriah effect has faded. It may help the new immune treatment work better after the first Kymriah.
BordeauxAges 1–25 - NCT05326919Recruiting
Study biobank for people newly diagnosed with certain blood cancers
This study follows people who are newly diagnosed (and haven’t been fully treated yet) with specific leukemia or related blood disorders to help researchers learn which treatments may work best. It may help by connecting you to a larger “precision medicine” patient group for future research.
BobignyAges Any age - NCT05418088RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for hard-to-treat B-cell cancers
This Phase 1 study tests lab-made immune cells (CAR T-cells) that target CD19, CD20, and/or CD22 in people with certain relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers. It may help by attacking cancer cells that still carry these targets, but eligibility is very specific and includes prior treatments and health/lab requirements.
Columbus, OhioAges 2 years+ - NCT05442515RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell treatment for hard-to-treat B-cell cancers in youth
This trial tests a personalized immune-cell therapy (CAR T cells) made to attack B-cell cancers that have come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is in children and young adults.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–39 - NCT05506332RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax plus leukemia drugs for AML after treatment failure
This Phase 1 trial studies whether a combination of venetoclax (ABT-199) and “purine analogues” can help adults with AML that has come back or didn’t respond to earlier treatment. It’s designed to test safety and early effectiveness in people who haven’t previously developed resistance to venetoclax.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05597306RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax plus bomedemstat for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This early-phase study tests venetoclax together with bomedemstat in adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or did not respond to standard treatment. The goal is to see whether this combination can control the leukemia safely and help shrink it enough to improve outcomes.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05672147RecruitingPhase 1
CD33 CAR T cells for hard-to-treat AML
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CD33 CAR T cells) for adults with AML that has returned or did not respond to treatment. It aims to see how safe the therapy is and how well it works for AML cells that carry the CD33 marker.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05735184RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with AML medicines for NPM1- or KMT2A-mutated leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and tolerable ziftomenib is when combined with standard AML medicines (like venetoclax and azacitidine, and other chemo options) in people with AML. It’s for AML patients who have specific genetic changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) and helps doctors find the best, safest dose plan.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05792007Recruiting
Study of bone marrow environment in childhood leukemia
This study looks at what the bone marrow “microenvironment” is like in children newly diagnosed with acute leukemia, to better understand the disease. It also compares leukemia samples to samples from children having certain orthopedic surgery.
ToursAges 1–15 - NCT05794880Recruiting
Immunotherapy lowering immune cells before transplant in children
This trial tests a special immune-cell “preparation” treatment (called T-cell and B-cell depletion) with adjusted anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) dosing before a stem cell transplant. It aims to reduce immune-related transplant complications in people under 25 with certain blood cancers in a specific remission status.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges birth–25 years - NCT05800210RecruitingPhase 2
T cell and B cell immune “wipeout” after stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 trial studies whether removing certain immune cells (alpha/beta T cells and CD19+ B cells) around the time of a stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for people with high-risk blood cancers. It may help by reducing the immune responses that can interfere with the transplant working, while keeping the process safe.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 6 months–39 years - NCT05805605RecruitingPhase 2
Low-intensity stem cell transplant with donor cells and blood-protection
This Phase 2 study tests a low-intensity bone marrow/stem cell transplant using a matched donor plus two medicines to help prevent the donor cells from attacking you. It aims to treat certain blood cancers—especially when standard treatment has not fully worked or when you are in remission but at higher risk.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 75 years - NCT05857969RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cancer drug response on removed tumor tissue
This early study uses tumor tissue (or bone marrow from blood cancers) and performs lab tests to see which cancer drugs may work better for each person. It also collects genetic information from blood or a saliva swab to help understand why cancers respond differently.
Miami, FloridaAges 1 day–21 years - NCT05886049RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a menin drug with standard chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This early-phase study tests a menin inhibitor drug (SNDX-5613) combined with standard induction chemotherapy (daunorubicin plus cytarabine) in newly diagnosed AML with specific gene changes (NPM1 or FLT3 status, or MLL/KMT2A or NUP98). It may help patients whose AML has these genetic features respond better to intensive treatment.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06001788RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new drug combination called ziftomenib for people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. Researchers will check how safe it is and what side effects happen.
