Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 22 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 - 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 - NCT04227847RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a CD70-targeting drug for blood cancer
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of SEA-CD70, a drug that targets CD70, in people with certain blood cancers like MDS and AML. It may help doctors learn whether this approach can be used safely for patients whose disease has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03113643RecruitingPhase 1
SL-401 with standard drugs for hard-to-treat blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests SL-401, given with azacitidine and sometimes venetoclax, to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the combination can improve blood cancer control.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03595917RecruitingPhase 1
New and hard-to-treat BCR-ABL leukemia drugs plus prednisone and blinatumomab
This Phase 1 study tests a combination of targeted cancer drugs with prednisone and blinatumomab in people with BCR-ABL–positive B-cell leukemia (B-ALL), or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in lymphoid blast crisis. It may help by attacking leukemia cells through multiple pathways, especially when standard intensive chemotherapy is not suitable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03850574RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 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.

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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05143996RecruitingPhase 1
First study drug for relapsed AML or MDS
This Phase 1 trial tests CLN-049 in adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to find out how well the drug can work and how safe it is in people with limited options.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05237258Recruiting
Compare palliative care approaches for people with high-risk AML
This study tests a specialized (targeted) palliative care program versus usual oncology care for people hospitalized with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see if this palliative approach improves comfort, support, and care planning during intensive treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–120 - NCT05292664RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax trial for high-risk blood cancers in young patients
This Phase 1 study tests venetoclax to treat certain high-risk blood cancers in children, teens, or young adults. It is designed to see if the drug can work safely for patients whose disease has returned or did not respond to prior treatment.

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.
