It is for children and young adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who are in remission after transplant.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05886049RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a menin drug with standard chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This early-phase study tests a menin inhibitor drug (SNDX-5613) combined with standard induction chemotherapy (daunorubicin plus cytarabine) in newly diagnosed AML with specific gene changes (NPM1 or FLT3 status, or MLL/KMT2A or NUP98). It may help patients whose AML has these genetic features respond better to intensive treatment.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT07645469RecruitingPhase 1
WT1-targeting T cells with azacitidine for AML
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has minimal residual disease (small amounts of cancer left after treatment). The therapy uses your own immune cells, modified to target a protein called WT1 on leukemia cells, and combines it with a drug called azacitidine.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05092451RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CD70-targeting NK cell therapy for blood cancer relapse
This study tests an immune therapy made from cord blood “NK cells” that are engineered to attack cells with a marker called CD70. It’s given after chemotherapy that reduces your blood and immune system, aiming to treat relapse or refractory (not responding) blood cancers.
Houston, TexasAges 12–80 - NCT06262438RecruitingPhase 2
Quizartinib plus chemo for children with FLT3-ITD AML
This study adds a targeted drug called quizartinib to standard chemotherapy for children with a certain type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has a FLT3-ITD gene change. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective for treating newly diagnosed patients.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 1 month–18 years - NCT05994690RecruitingPhase 3
Newly diagnosed pediatric AML trial with extra treatment options
This trial studies different treatment plans for children and teens newly diagnosed with AML (a type of blood cancer). Depending on the child's tumor markers and risk group, they may be offered an extra drug (quizartinib) or a targeted antibody (Mylotarg) to see if it improves outcomes.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 1 day–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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–21 years - NCT06317649RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax and HMA for older adults with FLT3-mutated AML
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (venetoclax and a hypomethylating agent) plus a targeted FLT3 inhibitor for older or frail patients with a specific genetic change in their acute myeloid leukemia. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective without using the strongest chemotherapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03779854RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing graft-versus-host disease in kids after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether removing certain immune cells (T cells) from the donor transplant can lower the risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease (long-term immune attack after transplant) in children and young adults with blood cancers. If you qualify, it may help improve transplant outcomes while tracking safety and side effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months–26 years - NCT03050268Recruiting
Study of childhood cancer risk in families
This study looks at inherited (family) risk for childhood cancers, including families with early cancers or known cancer risk conditions. It may help researchers understand why some children get cancer and improve future risk detection and care.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT03826992RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug Venetoclax plus Vyxeos for hard-to-treat leukemia
This Phase 1 study tests whether a combination of venetoclax and Vyxeos can treat children and young adults with certain relapsed or treatment-resistant acute leukemias. It may help shrink the leukemia or improve blood counts when standard treatments have not worked.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1–39 - NCT03852407RecruitingPhase 2
Two kinds of conditioning before matched stem cell transplant
This trial compares two reduced-intensity conditioning regimens before you receive stem cells from a donor who matches your HLA type. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer for certain blood cancers.
AntwerpAges 18–75 - NCT04195633RecruitingPhase 2
Haploidentical donor stem cell transplant to treat blood cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a specific stem cell transplant method (from a related “half-matched” donor) plus conditioning chemo and radiation can improve outcomes for several blood cancers. It may help people whose cancer is in remission but still considered high risk, or those who have had limited response after prior treatment.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 6 months+ - NCT04375631RecruitingPhase 1
Study of chemo plus donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a specific chemotherapy plan followed by a reduced-intensity donor stem cell transplant for people with relapsed or treatment-resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML), certain myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). It may help by using donor stem cells to rebuild the bone marrow after intensive cancer treatment, in people who are not responding well to standard therapies.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04678401RecruitingPhase 1
Trial tests transplant using a half-matched donor for high-risk leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests a special bone marrow transplant using a related “half-matched” donor (haploidentical), without a specific immune-suppressing medicine (“IS-free”). It’s for adults with certain high-risk AML or MDS to see if this approach can improve control of the disease while tracking safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT05014165Recruiting
