Recruiting studies
- NCT05366218RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tafasitamab for kids with high-risk B-cell leukemia after relapse
This Phase 1/2 study tests tafasitamab in children and teens with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or did not respond. It is mainly for patients with specific high-risk leukemia changes and/or leukemia markers that stay after stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy.

Pediatric Ph+ B-ALL treatment trial
This trial tests a new treatment plan for children and teens newly diagnosed with a specific type of leukemia called Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-ALL. The goal is to see if the approach improves outcomes.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 1 month–18 years - NCT05827549RecruitingPhase 2
Blinatumomab for relapsed ALL, matched by risk group
This Phase 2 study tests how well blinatumomab works for children and adults whose acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has come back. It also looks at whether results differ based on the patient’s relapse “risk group.”
DaeguAges 1–22 - NCT05512169Recruiting
Genetic study in Indian children with newly diagnosed leukemia
This study looks at genetic (DNA) differences to understand acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Indian children and how treatments may fit better. You may be able to join if your child is newly diagnosed, meets the study’s treatment plan rules, and provides consent.
New DelhiAges 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT05849662RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Trametinib plus azacitidine for newly diagnosed JMML
This trial studies whether trametinib and azacitidine can control juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) soon after diagnosis. It’s designed to test safety and how well the treatment works in children and young adults who meet specific leukemia and genetic criteria.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 1 month–21 years - NCT07587411Enrolling by invitation
Support program for children with leukemia and their families
This study tests a step-by-step support program designed to help children with leukemia and their parents or guardians cope better during cancer treatment. The program aims to reduce stress and improve quality of life for the whole family.
Peshawar, Khyber Pukhtoon KhwaAges 7–14 - NCT06819475Recruiting
Muscle health study for childhood leukemia survivors
This study uses imaging to look at how well the mitochondria (the tiny power plants inside your muscle cells) are working. It compares survivors of childhood leukemia who have low muscle mass to healthy volunteers, to understand muscle health and find ways to help.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06158828RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Memory NK cells after transplant for high-risk AML
This trial tests whether adding special 'memory-like' natural killer (NK) cells to a stem cell transplant from a half-matched family donor can help treat high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to make the transplant more effective against the leukemia.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07246213Recruiting
Childhood cancer survivor research study
This study looks back at the medical records of children and young adults diagnosed with cancer in the last 15 years. It helps researchers understand more about cancer in young people.
YerevanAges birth–21 years - NCT05763290Recruiting
Exercise and emotional well-being in leukemia survivors
This study looks at how exercise affects mood and emotional responses in people who survived acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It may help researchers learn whether exercise could support mental well-being after cancer treatment.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–39 - NCT06420076RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sequential CAR-T therapy for CD5/CD7 positive T-cell leukemia/lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (called CAR-T) that targets two proteins, CD5 and CD7, on the surface of T-cell leukemia or lymphoma cells. It may be an option for people whose cancer came back or didn't respond to standard treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 2–90 - NCT06747910Recruiting
Remote test for nerve problems after childhood cancer
This study tests if a remote, at-home approach can identify problems with the autonomic nervous system (the part that controls heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion) in adult survivors of childhood leukemia or lymphoma. If you join, you will complete a set of simple tasks (the Ewing battery) from home to see how your body responds.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05811845Recruiting
Testing blood monitoring of 6MP to help kids stay in remission
This trial is for children newly diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It tests whether checking medicine levels in the blood can help optimize ongoing treatment (maintenance) and potentially keep the cancer under control.
Monza, Monza BrianzaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06221683RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized induction therapy for children with AML based on genetics
This trial tests different induction therapy options based on the specific genetic subtype of a child’s AML and how the leukemia responds early on. The goal is to personalize treatment to improve outcomes and reduce side effects.
Hefei, AnhuiAges Up to 18 years - 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 - NCT04794296Recruiting
Care plan for children newly diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
This trial uses a standard treatment plan for children who have just been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It aims to guide the best initial treatment for certain cell types of ALL and help improve outcomes while avoiding specific higher-risk subtypes.
AbidjanAges Up to 18 years - NCT05375617Recruiting
Study for newly diagnosed childhood cancers in Europe
This study follows children and teens with newly diagnosed certain leukemia (ALL) and certain favorable brain tumors to learn best care and outcomes. It may help your team compare standard treatments and monitor health over time.
New York, New YorkAges 3–21 - NCT03136146RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo for return or non-responsive blood cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy plan for certain leukemia and lymphoma types that have come back or did not respond. It may help shrink or control disease when standard treatment is no longer working.
Houston, TexasAges 15 years+ - NCT05682131RecruitingPhase 4
Study for children with certain relapsed leukemia
This trial looks at treatment for children whose leukemia has come back for the first time. It focuses on a specific type of leukemia and risk level to see whether the approach improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 1–14 - NCT00662090Recruiting
Study of blood disorders in children with MDS or JMML
This study looks at two childhood blood disorders—myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). The goal is to describe how these conditions work in children and better understand them over time.

Gut health and symptoms in childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at how cancer survivors' symptoms (like pain, fatigue, or mood) are connected to the bacteria living in their gut. It aims to understand why some children have different symptom patterns after treatment, which could help doctors provide better care.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 8–18 - NCT06508775Recruiting
Long-term checkup for Miltenyi cell therapy patients

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for childhood leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 56 recruiting childhood leukemia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a childhood leukemia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a childhood leukemia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
