Recruiting studies near Boston
- 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+ - NCT06440135RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib maintenance after stem cell transplant for AML
This trial tests if the drug ziftomenib can help prevent AML from coming back after a stem cell transplant. It is for people who have certain gene changes (KMT2A rearrangement or NPM1 mutation) and are in remission or near-remission before transplant.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05554393RecruitingPhase 2
Treating intermediate-risk AML in younger adults
This trial compares three different drug combinations for younger adults (18-59) with intermediate-risk AML. You will be assigned to one of three groups: standard chemotherapy (cytarabine + daunorubicin), that same chemotherapy plus venetoclax, or venetoclax combined with azacitidine.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–59 - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1–40 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05429632RecruitingPhase 3
Mocravimod to prevent relapse after bone marrow transplant for AML
This Phase 3 trial tests mocravimod, added to standard care, to help keep acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from coming back after an allogeneic bone marrow (stem cell) transplant. It may help by supporting long-term remission during the transplant recovery period.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT05554406RecruitingPhase 2
New drug therapy for high-risk AML
This trial is testing new drug combinations for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk AML who have not yet started treatment. It aims to find more effective therapies for this aggressive form of leukemia.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–59 - NCT06472128Recruiting
New digital app for adults with acute myeloid leukemia
This study tests a digital application to help patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during their hospital stay. It may assist with tracking symptoms, education, or communication with care teams.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–120 - 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 - NCT06824168RecruitingPhase 2
Quizartinib maintenance for FLT3-ITD AML in remission
This trial tests two different doses of an oral targeted pill called quizartinib (a FLT3 inhibitor) to keep AML with a FLT3-ITD mutation in remission after initial chemo. If you are in first complete remission and haven't had a transplant, this might be an option to lower the chance of relapse.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07007312RecruitingPhase 3
Ziftomenib plus standard chemo for certain AML patients
This trial tests a new drug, ziftomenib, added to standard chemotherapy for adults with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have specific gene changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement). It aims to see if the combination works better than standard treatment alone.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05442216RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tagraxofusp, azacitidine, and venetoclax for secondary AML
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (tagraxofusp, azacitidine, and venetoclax) for people newly diagnosed with a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has developed after treatment with certain prior drugs (hypomethylating agents). The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT07211958RecruitingPhase 3
Revumenib plus chemo for newly diagnosed AML with NPM1 mutation
This trial tests a new drug, revumenib, combined with strong chemotherapy for people with a specific type of AML (NPM1 mutation). The goal is to see if adding revumenib helps treat the leukemia better than chemo alone.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 12 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.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 6–39 - NCT06788756RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing L-Annamycin plus Cytarabine for relapsed AML
This trial tests whether the combination of two chemotherapy drugs, L-Annamycin and Cytarabine, can help adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or not responded to one prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can lead to remission.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18–80

What taking part in a acute myeloid 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.
