Recruiting studies
- NCT04774393RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study for AML after it returns or resists treatment
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of medicines (decitabine/cedazuridine, venetoclax, and ivosidenib or enasidenib) in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or hasn’t responded. It may help control the leukemia by targeting cancer cells and specific genetic changes in the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04836390Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Donor immune cell treatment after transplant for high-risk AML
This trial tests an additional immune therapy made from donor natural killer (NK) cells given around the time of a special stem cell transplant for children and young adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to help prevent the leukemia from coming back or not responding after transplant.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges birth–25 years - NCT04797767RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Venetoclax plus CLAG-M for high-risk AML
This trial studies venetoclax combined with CLAG-M chemotherapy to treat adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or related high-grade blood cancers. It aims to improve control of the disease, especially in people whose AML is considered high risk.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04771572RecruitingPhase 1
Oral drug LP-118 for relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests an oral (by mouth) drug called LP-118 in people whose blood cancers have returned or did not respond to prior treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see whether it can shrink or control the cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 13 years+ - NCT04771130RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of BGB-11417 for blood cancers
This early-phase study tests BGB-11417 in people with certain bone-marrow (blood) cancers such as AML, MDS, or MDS/MPN. The goal is to find out how the medicine works and whether it can control the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 22 years - NCT04708054RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Venetoclax with busulfan chemo for high-risk AML or MDS
This study tests whether adding venetoclax to a specific busulfan-based chemotherapy plan improves outcomes for people with high-risk AML or MDS. It mainly targets patients whose leukemia/marrow disease still has high-risk features or measurable disease after initial treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT04716452RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a ceramide liposome drug for relapsed or resistant AML
This Phase 1 trial tests a new targeted treatment (C6 ceramide in a tiny fat-like capsule) for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to see how the drug works and how safe it is in this setting.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04659616RecruitingPhase 1
Pemigatinib after standard chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This Phase 1 trial studies whether adding pemigatinib after standard “7+3” chemotherapy can improve outcomes in certain newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the drug works in a very specific AML genetic group.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT04581512RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety study of EP0042 for certain AML patients
This Phase 1/2 study tests how safe and tolerable EP0042 is, and looks at patients with a specific type of AML that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. You may be considered if your AML diagnosis is confirmed and your lab tests, overall health, and medication history fit the study rules.
Perth, Western AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT04493164RecruitingPhase 2
CPX-351 plus ivosidenib for IDH1-mutated leukemia or high-risk MDS
This trial tests CPX-351 together with ivosidenib in people with IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to improve disease control, especially in tumors with a specific genetic change called IDH1.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04375631RecruitingPhase 1
Study of chemo plus donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a specific chemotherapy plan followed by a reduced-intensity donor stem cell transplant for people with relapsed or treatment-resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML), certain myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). It may help by using donor stem cells to rebuild the bone marrow after intensive cancer treatment, in people who are not responding well to standard therapies.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04224974Recruiting
Engagement and symptom support for newly diagnosed acute leukemia
This trial tests an emotion- and symptom-focused way of engaging with care for people who are newly diagnosed with acute leukemia and starting intensive “induction” treatment aimed at cure. It may help you feel better supported and better able to manage distressing symptoms during a critical early phase of treatment.
Saint John, New BrunswickAges 18 years+ - NCT04195633RecruitingPhase 2
Haploidentical donor stem cell transplant to treat blood cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a specific stem cell transplant method (from a related “half-matched” donor) plus conditioning chemo and radiation can improve outcomes for several blood cancers. It may help people whose cancer is in remission but still considered high risk, or those who have had limited response after prior treatment.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 6 months+ - 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.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 4 weeks+ - NCT04093570Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Extension study for people continuing ASTX727 from a prior trial
This study checks whether continuing ASTX727 for people who already benefited from it in an earlier Taiho study is safe and effective. It may be an option if you stayed on ASTX727 at the end of your parent study and your doctor felt it was helping you.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04047641RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Quizartinib with chemotherapy for new or returning leukemia
This trial tests a combination of anti-leukemia drugs (including quizartinib) together with chemotherapy for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a rare mixed-type leukemia, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It may help by trying to better control cancer in people whose disease is newly diagnosed or has returned/not responded to prior treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04049539RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vyxeos for AML that stays after initial chemotherapy
This trial tests whether Vyxeos (a type of chemotherapy) can treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that did not fully go away after standard induction (“7+3”) chemotherapy. It targets people whose leukemia is still present in the bone marrow and need a stronger “re-induction” treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04140487RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drugs for certain FLT3-mutated blood cancers that have returned
This trial tests a combination of three medicines—azacitidine, venetoclax, and gilteritinib—in people with specific gene changes (FLT3 mutations) in leukemia and related bone marrow diseases that have come back or are hard to treat. The goal is to see if this drug combination can control the disease and improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04050280RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an antibody drug for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This trial studies a drug called CLAG-GO (an antibody with chemotherapy drugs attached) in adults with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It aims to improve outcomes for people whose leukemia is persistent, relapsed, or refractory.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03934372RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ponatinib for children with relapsed or hard-to-treat cancers
This trial tests a targeted therapy called ponatinib in children whose leukemia, lymphoma, or solid tumor has come back or hasn't improved with standard treatments. The drug works by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow, and the study looks at how safe and effective it is for different cancer types.
GhentAges 1–17 - NCT03921047Recruiting
Study of T cells during stem cell transplant for AML
This study looks at changes in your immune cells (T cells) in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are scheduled for a donor stem cell transplant. It may help doctors better understand how the immune system responds during and after transplant.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03964506RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Hyperbaric oxygen plus donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This early-phase trial studies whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, along with a donor stem cell transplant, can improve outcomes for certain blood cancers. It may help by supporting the body during transplant and recovery, but it is still being tested for safety and effectiveness.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT04024761RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy for leukemia relapse after transplant
This Phase 1 study tests whether an infusion of special immune cells (NK cells) from a donor can help control leukemia or related blood cancers that come back or do not fully go away after a stem cell transplant. It also uses short chemotherapy to “make space” for the NK cells to work, and IL-2 to help them function.
