Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06834282RecruitingPhase 1
A study of CER-1236 for certain blood cancers
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called CER-1236 for people with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or myelofibrosis. It aims to see if it can help treat these cancers.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - 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.

Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06575296RecruitingPhase 1
Revumenib after stem cell transplant for acute leukemia
This trial tests a drug called revumenib to help keep leukemia from coming back after a stem cell transplant. It is for people with specific genetic types of acute leukemia who have recently had or will soon have a transplant.

Study of NMS-03597812 for relapsed or refractory AML
This study tests a new experimental drug (NMS-03597812) for adults with AML that has not responded to or has returned after other treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help control the leukemia.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06561152RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tagraxofusp plus low-intensity chemo for CD123+ AML
This trial tests a drug called tagraxofusp combined with a gentle chemotherapy regimen for people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or not responded to an initial venetoclax-based treatment. The study focuses on patients whose leukemia cells have a protein called CD123 on their surface.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06551584RecruitingPhase 1
Advanced blood cancer trial with stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new approach for people with advanced blood cancers who are getting a donor stem cell transplant. It aims to improve outcomes by using your own regulatory T cells along with the donor cells.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06543381RecruitingPhase 1
Olutasidenib for IDH1-mutated blood cancers after transplant
This trial tests a drug called olutasidenib for people with certain blood cancers (AML, MDS, or CMML) that have a specific IDH1 gene change. The goal is to see if it can help prevent relapse after a donor stem cell transplant.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06501196RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BH-30236 for leukemia and high-risk MDS
This trial tests an experimental drug, BH-30236, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or a high-risk form of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to treatment. It aims to see if the drug can help control the disease.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06376162RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with chemotherapy for children with relapsed leukemia
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called ziftomenib to standard chemotherapy can help children whose leukemia has come back or not responded to treatment. It is for children with certain genetic changes in their leukemia cells.

Venetoclax with hypomethylating agents for older or unfit adults with FLT3-mutated AML
This trial tests a combination of medicines (venetoclax and a hypomethylating agent) for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have a FLT3 mutation. It may be an option for older adults or those who cannot tolerate intensive chemotherapy.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06287944RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted radiation and chemo before donor stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new approach: giving a targeted radioactive antibody (attached to a drug that finds CD38 on cancer cells) along with low-dose chemotherapy and targeted radiation to the bone marrow before a donor stem cell transplant. The goal is to prepare the body for the transplant while killing remaining cancer cells more precisely.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06247787RecruitingPhase 1
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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there acute myeloid leukemia clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 99 recruiting acute myeloid leukemia studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a acute myeloid leukemia study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute myeloid leukemia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New acute myeloid leukemia studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
