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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 40–75 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–18 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–21 - NCT03779854RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing graft-versus-host disease in kids after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether removing certain immune cells (T cells) from the donor transplant can lower the risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease (long-term immune attack after transplant) in children and young adults with blood cancers. If you qualify, it may help improve transplant outcomes while tracking safety and side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 6 months–26 years - NCT03633955RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging study for people with high-risk leukemia
This early (Phase 1) study tests how a special scan works in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat leukemia types. The scan uses a tracer called 18F FLT, and the study looks to see if it can be done safely (without sedation) and how it relates to treatment.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 4–80 - NCT06124157RecruitingPhase 2

Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1 year–46 years - NCT02203903RecruitingPhase 1
Donor T-cell treatment after transplant for high-risk AML and MDS
This Phase 1 trial studies an advanced form of donated immune cells given after a stem cell transplant to help prevent leukemia coming back. It mainly looks at safety and whether the treatment can work in people with very high-risk AML or MDS who have not relapsed.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 6 months–80 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 4 weeks–21 years - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 22 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).
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 12 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 12–21 - NCT07019155Recruiting
DDX41 gene study for families with cancer risk
This study looks at people and families who have changes in the DDX41 gene or similar genes that may increase the risk of cancer. By joining, you can help researchers learn more about these gene changes and how they affect health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–120 years - NCT06852222RecruitingPhase 3
Study of bleximenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine for newly diagnosed AML
This trial tests a new drug combination (bleximenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine) for people with a specific genetic type of AML who cannot receive strong chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination is safer and more effective.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05554406RecruitingPhase 2

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective without using the strongest chemotherapy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 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.

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
