Recruiting studies
- NCT06177067RecruitingPhase 1
Study of 3 drugs for young AML patients with genetic changes
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (revumenib, azacitidine, and venetoclax) for children and young adults with a hard-to-treat type of leukemia that has a specific genetic change. The goal is to see if this new mix can help when standard treatments have not worked.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - 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 - NCT05955261RecruitingPhase 2
Study of adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy for pediatric AML
This trial tests a new combination of a targeted pill (venetoclax) with standard chemotherapy for children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The hope is that adding venetoclax will improve how well the chemo works and reduce the chance of the leukemia coming back.
Madera, CaliforniaAges 4 weeks–21 years - NCT05792007Recruiting
Study of bone marrow environment in childhood leukemia
This study looks at what the bone marrow “microenvironment” is like in children newly diagnosed with acute leukemia, to better understand the disease. It also compares leukemia samples to samples from children having certain orthopedic surgery.
ToursAges 1–15 - 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 - NCT05805605RecruitingPhase 2
Low-intensity stem cell transplant with donor cells and blood-protection
This Phase 2 study tests a low-intensity bone marrow/stem cell transplant using a matched donor plus two medicines to help prevent the donor cells from attacking you. It aims to treat certain blood cancers—especially when standard treatment has not fully worked or when you are in remission but at higher risk.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 75 years - NCT05800210RecruitingPhase 2
T cell and B cell immune “wipeout” after stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 trial studies whether removing certain immune cells (alpha/beta T cells and CD19+ B cells) around the time of a stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for people with high-risk blood cancers. It may help by reducing the immune responses that can interfere with the transplant working, while keeping the process safe.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 6 months–39 years - NCT05794880Recruiting
Immunotherapy lowering immune cells before transplant in children
This trial tests a special immune-cell “preparation” treatment (called T-cell and B-cell depletion) with adjusted anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) dosing before a stem cell transplant. It aims to reduce immune-related transplant complications in people under 25 with certain blood cancers in a specific remission status.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges birth–25 years - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 6–39 - NCT05580601RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy trial for children with relapsed or stubborn AML
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a lab-made immune-cell treatment (NK cells) for children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It aims to help the immune system attack leukemia cells in the bone marrow, especially when standard treatments have not worked.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 2 years+ - NCT05322850RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Engineered donor stem cell transplant for childhood blood cancers
This trial tests a new way to prepare donor stem cells before a transplant for children and young adults with blood cancers. The goal is to make the transplant safer and more effective, potentially reducing complications like graft-versus-host disease.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Up to 50 years - NCT05105152RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for kids with CD33 AML that came back
This Phase 1 study tests a type of lab-made immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) made from your T cells to treat AML that has relapsed or not responded, as long as the cancer shows a marker called CD33. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can help control AML after it returns or resists standard therapy.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 30 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 4 weeks–21 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 - NCT05014165Recruiting
Cord blood study for leukemia with stored birth samples
This study looks at leukemia “genetic clues” using special stored samples, including cord blood saved at birth. It may help researchers better understand leukemia biology and how common mutations may show up early.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 25 years - NCT04836390Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Donor immune cell treatment after transplant for high-risk AML
This trial tests an additional immune therapy made from donor natural killer (NK) cells given around the time of a special stem cell transplant for children and young adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to help prevent the leukemia from coming back or not responding after transplant.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges birth–25 years - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 22 years - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04050280RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an antibody drug for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This trial studies a drug called CLAG-GO (an antibody with chemotherapy drugs attached) in adults with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It aims to improve outcomes for people whose leukemia is persistent, relapsed, or refractory.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03934372RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ponatinib for children with relapsed or hard-to-treat cancers
This trial tests a targeted therapy called ponatinib in children whose leukemia, lymphoma, or solid tumor has come back or hasn't improved with standard treatments. The drug works by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow, and the study looks at how safe and effective it is for different cancer types.
GhentAges 1–17 - 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 - NCT03810196Recruiting
Stem cell addback after transplant to treat viral or fungal infection
This study tests a stem cell “addback” treatment after a specific type of transplant (with certain immune cells removed). It may help the body recover faster and fight serious viral or fungal infections in children and teens.
