Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT06001788RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new drug combination called ziftomenib for people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. Researchers will check how safe it is and what side effects happen.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–30 - NCT06222580RecruitingPhase 1
Combination of two targeted drugs for resistant FLT3-mutated AML
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, SNDX-5613 and gilteritinib, for people whose AML has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. It is for those with an FLT3 gene mutation plus another specific genetic change like NPM1 or MLL. The study aims to see if this two-drug approach works better when used together.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–18 - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 25 years - NCT07464951RecruitingPhase 1
CART123 cells with or without ruxolitinib for AML
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CART123) alone or with a drug called ruxolitinib for children and young adults with AML that has come back or not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help destroy leukemia cells.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–29 years - 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.
Easton, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06839456RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell addback to prevent infections after transplant
This trial tests whether adding back certain immune cells after a stem cell transplant can help prevent serious viral or fungal infections. It's for children and young adults up to age 25 who need a transplant for a blood cancer or other curable disease.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 month–25 years - NCT06892158Recruiting
Massage therapy for sleep in teens with cancer
This trial studies if massage therapy can help teenagers and young adults with cancer sleep better while they are in the hospital. Participants will receive massage sessions and answer questions about their sleep.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12–21 - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT07565220RecruitingPhase 1
Thiotepa-based stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This trial tests a new chemotherapy preparation (using thiotepa) before a stem cell transplant from a matched donor to treat blood cancers like leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to improve survival while reducing severe side effects.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04925479RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing asciminib dosing and safety for teen CML patients
This early-phase study tests the right dose and safety of asciminib in children and teens with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). It may help if your current or last CML medicine (a TKI) did not work well or caused side effects.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–17 - NCT02646839Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing a gene-matched transplant approach for childhood leukemia
This trial studies a specific type of partially matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant in children with ALL, AML, or MDS. It looks at whether using certain immune system gene patterns (KIR) and measuring leftover disease after treatment can improve outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 21 years - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–21 - NCT04811560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a targeted medicine for certain relapsed leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial tests bleximenib, a targeted medicine, for people whose acute leukemia has specific gene changes and has come back or does not respond to treatment. It may help by attacking these leukemia-specific targets when other treatment options have run out.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2 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.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 18–59 - NCT06652438RecruitingPhase 3
Revumenib plus standard drugs for NPM1 or KMT2A AML
This trial tests adding a new targeted drug, revumenib, to two standard AML medicines (azacitidine and venetoclax) for adults with a specific gene change (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) who cannot receive strong chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination works better.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT04068597RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing inobrodib for blood cancers that came back
This is an early-stage study of inobrodib (CCS1477) for blood cancers like lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or acute myeloid leukemia that have returned or did not respond to standard treatment. It aims to see whether the drug is safe and can help control the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04293562RecruitingPhase 3
Testing targeted drugs plus chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This study compares standard chemotherapy to chemotherapy plus CPX-351 and/or gilteritinib in children and young adults newly diagnosed with AML. It aims to see whether adding these targeted treatments improves outcomes, especially for certain gene changes like FLT3.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT04990102RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Trial drug to help prevent relapse in AML
This trial tests CPX-351 to help stop acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from coming back after you’ve reached remission. It’s for people who are not able to receive a stem cell transplant and need a new way to reduce relapse risk.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 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.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05442216RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tagraxofusp, azacitidine, and venetoclax for secondary AML

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.
