Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT04269902RecruitingPhase 3
Early treatment check for high-risk CLL/SLL
This Phase 3 trial studies an early treatment approach for people with high-risk CLL or SLL who have not yet needed standard therapy. It aims to see if treating earlier can improve outcomes while keeping side effects manageable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–21 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.
Jamaica Plain, MassachusettsAges 40–75 - NCT03104491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inotuzumab after transplant for CD22-positive leukemia
This trial studies inotuzumab ozogamicin, a leukemia-targeting medicine, given after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It’s for people with CD22-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) to help prevent relapse and improve outcomes after transplant.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 16–75 - 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.

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT06859424RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new GVHD prevention method after donor stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new way to prevent graft-versus-host disease (a common side effect of stem cell transplant) using a drug called cyclophosphamide after transplant. It is for adults with certain blood cancers who need a transplant from a partially matched unrelated donor.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–66 - NCT07321652RecruitingPhase 3
Sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib for untreated CLL or SLL
This trial tests whether adding a new drug, sonrotoclax, to the standard treatment zanubrutinib works better for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who haven't had treatment before. It's for patients aged 65 and older who need therapy due to symptoms or blood cell issues.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT04811560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a targeted medicine for certain relapsed leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial tests bleximenib, a targeted medicine, for people whose acute leukemia has specific gene changes and has come back or does not respond to treatment. It may help by attacking these leukemia-specific targets when other treatment options have run out.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2 years+ - NCT03850574RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tuspetinib for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This early-phase study tests tuspetinib in people with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to learn whether it is safe and tolerable, how the drug behaves in the body, and whether it shows signs of benefit.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07052695RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mosunetuzumab for clearing CLL cells after other treatments
This study tests a drug called mosunetuzumab to see if it can clear remaining cancer cells (minimal residual disease) in people with CLL or SLL who have already had certain treatments. It may help those whose blood tests show very low levels of leftover disease after BTK inhibitor or BCL2 inhibitor therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05183035RecruitingPhase 3
Testing venetoclax for children with relapsed AML
This study tests a drug called venetoclax in children and young adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has returned after treatment. The drug may help block cancer cell growth. The study also looks at safety and how well the drug works when given alone or with other treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 4 weeks–21 years - NCT03150693RecruitingPhase 3
New treatment for young adults with CD22-positive ALL
This Phase 3 trial tests adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard chemotherapy for newly diagnosed CD22-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It may help more patients achieve remission and reduce the risk of the leukemia coming back, while also checking safety and tolerability.

What taking part in a acute lymphocytic 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.
