Baltimore, MarylandAges 40–75 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03959085RecruitingPhase 3
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for high-risk childhood leukemia
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding inotuzumab to standard post-induction chemotherapy improves outcomes for children and young teens with high-risk B-ALL, mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or certain high-risk B-LLy. It may help by targeting leukemia cells more directly, but participation depends on specific age, lab results, and medical history rules.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 months–25 years - NCT03666000RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a CD19 CAR T cell treatment for relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety and best dose of a CD19 CAR T cell therapy (azer-cel) in people whose B-cell blood cancer has returned or did not respond to treatment. It may help people with relapsed/refractory B-ALL or certain aggressive or large B-cell lymphomas, including after or before prior CAR T treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04260022RecruitingPhase 1
Drug study for hard-to-treat CML or Ph+ ALL
This Phase 1 study tests HQP1351 for people with CML or Ph+ ALL that has not responded well to standard targeted pills (TKIs), or those who could not tolerate them. It’s designed to see whether the treatment can work and how safe it is for this difficult-to-treat group.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04315324RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug OBI-3424 for relapsed T-cell blood cancer
This trial tests OBI-3424, an investigational medicine, in adults and children with relapsed or hard-to-treat T-cell acute leukemia or certain T-cell lymphoma. It may help by shrinking cancer when standard treatments have not worked.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 years+ - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1–30 - 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 - NCT06364423RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell therapy for CD19-positive leukemias and lymphomas
This trial tests a new immune therapy that uses your own cells (CAR T-cells) to find and attack cancer cells with the CD19 protein. It is for people with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma that have not responded to other treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06398457RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Darzalex Before Stem Cell Transplant for High-Risk Graft Failure

What taking part in a acute lymphoblastic leukemia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
