Recruiting studies in Tennessee
- 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.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 6–39 - NCT04726241RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing blood and bone marrow samples in young leukemia patients
This trial looks at blood and bone marrow samples from children and teens whose leukemia has come back or is hard to treat. The goal is to better understand the disease and guide future options for these patients.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges Up to 22 years - 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.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges Up to 12 months - NCT06514794RecruitingPhase 2
CAR-T cell therapy for T-cell leukemia and lymphoma
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell therapy (WU-CART-007) made from donor cells that target a protein called CD7 on cancer cells. It is for children and adults with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma that has come back or is still present after treatment.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 1 year+ - NCT06773936Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Adding asciminib to usual care for adults with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL
This trial tests if adding asciminib, a targeted pill, to standard treatment works better for adults newly diagnosed with a specific type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). It is for those who are older, or who cannot or choose not to have intensive chemotherapy.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 60 years+ - NCT06533579RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for CD19-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new gene therapy treatment for people with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma that have the CD19 marker and have not responded to other treatments. The therapy uses a virus to deliver a gene to target and kill cancer cells.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 13–90 - NCT06376162RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with chemo for kids with relapsed acute leukemia
This trial tests a new targeted drug called ziftomenib combined with chemotherapy for children whose leukemia (with specific genetic changes) has come back or is not responding to treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
Memphis, TennesseeAges birth–21 years - 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.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 1 year–46 years - 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.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 40–75 - NCT07191119Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for insomnia in childhood leukemia survivors
This study tests a small, wearable device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear (called the vagus nerve) to help with insomnia. It's designed for adult survivors of childhood leukemia who still have trouble sleeping.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 20–50 - NCT06533748RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for kids with B-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests a new therapy plan for children and teens newly diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma. It aims to improve outcomes for those with higher-risk features.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 1–18 - NCT06390319RecruitingPhase 2
Adding dasatinib or venetoclax for children with T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests whether adding either dasatinib or venetoclax to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for children aged 1 to 18 with newly diagnosed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoblastic lymphoma, or mixed phenotype acute leukemia. It compares the effects of these added drugs to help doctors find better treatment options.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 1–18 - 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.
Chattanooga, TennesseeAges 12 months–25 years - NCT06289673RecruitingPhase 4
Collecting info to start treatment for new leukemia or lymphoma
This study gathers key health information at the start of treatment for children and teens newly diagnosed with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma. The goal is to find the best way to begin therapy right away, without waiting for extra tests.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 1–18 - NCT04150497RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cell therapy for CD22-positive leukemia
This trial tests UCART22, a new cell-based treatment, for people with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has the CD22 marker. It may help by attacking leukemia cells that carry CD22.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 15–50 - 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.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 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.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 1–30 - NCT04881240RecruitingPhase 1
Donor-made memory T-cell therapy for hard-to-treat leukemia
This Phase 1 study tests an immune-cell therapy made from a matched donor to treat relapsed or refractory CD19-positive leukemia. It may help patients who have limited options, especially those who cannot receive the standard donor-cell or self-made (autologous) CD19 CAR T-cell therapy.

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.
