Recruiting studies near Memphis
- 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.

Imetelstat plus chemo for relapsed leukemia in kids
This trial tests a new drug called imetelstat combined with two chemotherapy drugs (fludarabine and cytarabine) for children and teens with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to find the safest dose of imetelstat and see if it helps control the cancer.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 1–18 - NCT06399640RecruitingPhase 1
Eltanexor and venetoclax for blood cancers
This trial tests a combination of two oral drugs, eltanexor and venetoclax, for people with certain types of blood cancer that have come back or not responded to previous treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06810583RecruitingPhase 1
Dalbavancin to prevent infections in kids with leukemia
This trial tests if an antibiotic called dalbavancin can help prevent serious bacterial infections in children and young adults with high-risk leukemia whose immune systems are weakened by treatment.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 25 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges birth–21 years - 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–59 - 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 6–39 - NCT06917911RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two drug additions to standard chemotherapy for a type of acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests whether adding venetoclax or gemtuzumab ozogamicin to the usual chemotherapy helps people with a specific genetic type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) respond better. It may improve chances of remission.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–59 - NCT05476770RecruitingPhase 1
Tagraxofusp for children with CD123-positive leukemia
This study tests tagraxofusp, a medicine that targets a marker called CD123 on cancer cells, in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or is resistant to treatment. It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies have not worked.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 1–21 - NCT05564390RecruitingPhase 2
MyeloMATCH screening to match you to AML or MDS treatment
This study screens people with newly suspected acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to see which treatment approach fits best—either a specific study treatment or standard care. It may help by directing you to the right option and by sharing your blood/bone marrow samples for research.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 1–30 - 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 - 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–59 - NCT07012044RecruitingPhase 1
Cedazuridine and decitabine after stem cell transplant for childhood leukemia
This trial tests if adding two chemotherapy drugs (cedazuridine and decitabine) along with a growth factor (filgrastim) can help prevent leukemia from coming back after a stem cell transplant. It is for children and young adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who are in remission after transplant.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 21 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 4 weeks–21 years - NCT04726241RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing blood and bone marrow samples in young leukemia patients

Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 22 years - NCT05101551RecruitingPhase 1
Talazoparib with chemotherapy for relapsed childhood AML
This Phase 1 study tests whether talazoparib combined with chemotherapy is safe and potentially effective for children and young adults whose leukemia has come back or did not respond. It focuses on finding the best way to give the treatment and watching for side effects.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 21 years - NCT05194397RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise plus NR supplement to boost fitness after stem-cell transplant
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program, plus an NR supplement, can improve fitness in young people who have had an allogeneic (donor) stem-cell transplant for certain blood cancers or bone marrow conditions. It’s meant to help with energy and physical ability while monitoring safety.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 10–30 - 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.

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.
