Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- NCT06124157RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy plus chemo for children with Ph+ or Ph-like B-ALL
This trial tests if adding a targeted drug (dasatinib or imatinib) to a chemotherapy combination with blinatumomab works better for children and young adults with a specific genetic form of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal is to see if this approach can improve treatment outcomes for patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive or ABL-class Ph-like B-ALL.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 1 year–46 years - NCT03509961RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing total body radiation for children with leukemia transplants
This study looks at whether some children and young adults with B-ALL can safely get a transplant without total body irradiation (TBI), based on special leukemia test results. It’s meant to help lower radiation-related risks while keeping leukemia control strong.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 1–25 - NCT04972942RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy for high-risk T-cell blood cancers after transplant
This Phase 1 study tests a targeted immune treatment given after strong pre-treatment (myeloablative chemo plus total-body radiation) before or along with an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back in young people with high-risk T-cell ALL or certain T-cell lymphomas.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Up to 39 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 7–25 - NCT04726241RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing blood and bone marrow samples in young leukemia patients

San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–39 - 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 1–40 - NCT06317662RecruitingPhase 2
Adding venetoclax and blinatumomab to chemo for infant leukemia
This trial tests adding two newer medicines (venetoclax and blinatumomab) to standard chemotherapy for infants with a specific type of leukemia. The goal is to see if this combination helps more babies stay cancer-free.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Up to 12 months - NCT02646839Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing a gene-matched transplant approach for childhood leukemia
This trial studies a specific type of partially matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant in children with ALL, AML, or MDS. It looks at whether using certain immune system gene patterns (KIR) and measuring leftover disease after treatment can improve outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05702645Recruiting
Down syndrome long-term study after leukemia treatment
This study follows children and young adults with Down syndrome who have survived acute leukemia (ALL or AML) to learn about their longer-term health after treatment ends. It may help families and doctors understand what health problems to watch for and how to provide better follow-up care.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 6–39 - NCT05476770RecruitingPhase 1
Tagraxofusp for children with CD123-positive leukemia
This study tests tagraxofusp, a medicine that targets a marker called CD123 on cancer cells, in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or is resistant to treatment. It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies have not worked.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT04546399RecruitingPhase 2
Blinatumomab with or without nivolumab for first relapse ALL
This study compares blinatumomab alone versus blinatumomab plus nivolumab in young people whose B-cell ALL has returned for the first time. It aims to see whether adding nivolumab improves control of the leukemia after relapse.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT01351545Recruiting
Cryopreserved cord blood access program for transplant patients
This trial studies an organized way to obtain and distribute unlicensed (not FDA-approved for general use) stored cord blood units that have been frozen and kept. It may help people who need a cord blood transplant but don’t fit the “licensed cord blood only” options.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Emeryville, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT05848687RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Newborns with CD19 leukemia may try a combined infant therapy
This early-phase study is testing a “total therapy” treatment plan for very young babies (diagnosed within the first year of life) with certain types of leukemia that carry the CD19 marker. It may help find safer and more effective treatment for infants with this disease, especially soon after diagnosis.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 1 year - NCT07070219RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of CTD402 for T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests a new drug called CTD402 for people with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) that has come back or not gone away after treatment. The goal is to see if CTD402 can help reduce or eliminate the cancer cells in the bone marrow.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1 year+ - NCT06408194RecruitingPhase 1
CD22 CAR T cells after Kymriah for B-cell cancers
This trial tests a new CAR T-cell therapy that targets CD22, after you've already received or been scheduled for a standard CD19-targeting CAR T-cell therapy (Kymriah). The goal is to see if giving a second type of CAR T cells can help when the first one doesn't work or the cancer returns.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–25 - NCT03739814RecruitingPhase 2
Test inotuzumab, blinatumomab, and possibly ponatinib for CD22 ALL
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of medicines (inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab), with or without ponatinib, for people with CD22-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It aims to improve remission and control leukemia cells, including in the bone marrow.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04065399RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing revumenib for relapsed acute leukemia with certain gene changes
This trial tests revumenib, a targeted medicine, to treat acute leukemia that has come back or hasn’t fully gone away. It may help people whose leukemia has specific gene changes (like KMT2A or NPM1) by trying to better control the cancer.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 4 weeks+ - NCT06137118RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AZD0486 for relapsed or refractory B-cell ALL
This trial tests a new investigational drug (AZD0486) given alone to see if it is safe and effective for people with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. It specifically targets a protein called CD19 found on leukemia cells.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT07400029RecruitingPhase 2
Obecabtagene autoleucel for B-cell ALL in remission
This trial tests a new cell therapy called obecabtagene autoleucel (a 'living drug' made from your own immune cells) for people with a type of blood cancer (B-cell ALL) that has responded to initial treatment but may still have tiny traces. The goal is to see if it can prevent relapse after remission.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT03802695RecruitingPhase 1
Orca-Q pill to help during stem cell transplant
