Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT07020533RecruitingPhase 1
CMV vaccine for stem cell transplant recipients
This trial tests a vaccine designed to boost immunity against CMV (a common virus) and prevent active CMV infection in people receiving a half-matched stem cell transplant. It may help protect you from CMV-related complications after transplant.
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 - NCT06376162RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with chemotherapy for children with relapsed leukemia
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called ziftomenib to standard chemotherapy can help children whose leukemia has come back or not responded to treatment. It is for children with certain genetic changes in their leukemia cells.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–21 years - NCT06152809RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cells with venetoclax for acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a combination of specially prepared immune cells (CIML NK cells) and a drug called venetoclax for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or a related condition. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the leukemia and possibly prepare for a stem cell transplant.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06059391RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine for stem cell donors to prevent CMV
This trial tests whether giving a CMV vaccine to stem cell donors can help protect recipients from CMV infection after transplant. It is for adults with specific blood cancers who are CMV-positive and have a matched related donor.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT04988555RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an investigational drug for high-risk acute leukemia
This Phase 1/2 study tests enzomenib (DSP-5336) in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute leukemia (and, in some places, certain other blood cancers). The goal is to see how the drug works and how safe it is, especially for leukemia cases with specific genetic changes (KMT2A/MLL or NPM1).
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT04771572RecruitingPhase 1
Oral drug LP-118 for relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests an oral (by mouth) drug called LP-118 in people whose blood cancers have returned or did not respond to prior treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see whether it can shrink or control the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 13 years+ - 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+ - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 4 weeks+ - NCT03666000RecruitingPhase 1
Azer-cel for B-cell lymphoma and leukemia that has returned
This trial tests an investigational cell therapy called Azer-cel for people with certain types of blood cancer (non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia) that has come back or not responded to previous treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells that have been modified to find and attack cancer cells.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–39 - NCT05475925RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug DR-01 for specific blood cancer types
This early-phase study tests DR-01 to treat large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGLL) or certain aggressive T-cell or cytotoxic lymphomas. It aims to see whether the drug is safe and can shrink or control the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06994676RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CBX-250 for advanced myeloid leukemias
This study tests an experimental drug, CBX-250, for people with certain advanced blood cancers (like AML) that have not responded to standard treatments or have returned. The drug works only for people who have a specific genetic marker (HLA-A*02:01). The goal is to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT06849713RecruitingPhase 2
New combination treatments for CLL or SLL
This trial tests two different combinations of targeted drugs for people with CLL or SLL who have not had prior treatment for their disease. The goal is to see if these combinations are safe and effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05168930RecruitingPhase 2
Zanubrutinib plus venetoclax for relapsed CLL or SLL
This Phase 2 study tests how well zanubrutinib (a targeted pill) combined with venetoclax (another targeted pill) works for adults with CLL/SLL that came back or progressed after prior treatment. It may help by stopping cancer cells through two different pathways, aiming to shrink disease and improve blood counts.
South Weymouth, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05621291Recruiting
Sequencing test to guide care after CD19 CAR T in kids
This study checks a DNA-based lab test (next-generation sequencing, or NGS) to monitor B-cell recovery after CD19 CAR T treatment in children and young adults. The goal is to see whether the test can help guide management while looking for remission and safe recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1–25 - NCT04024761RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy for leukemia relapse after transplant
This Phase 1 study tests whether an infusion of special immune cells (NK cells) from a donor can help control leukemia or related blood cancers that come back or do not fully go away after a stem cell transplant. It also uses short chemotherapy to “make space” for the NK cells to work, and IL-2 to help them function.

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.
