Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06368414RecruitingPhase 2
Stopping TKI in CML after asciminib
This trial tests if people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have already tried to stop their TKI medication once and lost a deep remission, can safely stop their TKI again after taking a newer drug called asciminib. The goal is to stay in remission (no detectable leukemia) without needing daily medication.
Incheon, IncheonAges 19 years+ - NCT06364423RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell therapy for CD19-positive leukemias and lymphomas
This trial tests a new immune therapy that uses your own cells (CAR T-cells) to find and attack cancer cells with the CD19 protein. It is for people with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma that have not responded to other treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06229860Recruiting
Personality and CML medication adherence study
This study looks at how a person's personality might affect how well they take their CML medication. It's for people with chronic phase CML who are taking certain targeted therapy pills (imatinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, or nilotinib).
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06236724RecruitingPhase 2
Asciminib for newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia

Drug study for hard-to-treat CML or Ph+ ALL
This Phase 1 study tests HQP1351 for people with CML or Ph+ ALL that has not responded well to standard targeted pills (TKIs), or those who could not tolerate them. It’s designed to see whether the treatment can work and how safe it is for this difficult-to-treat group.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06059391RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine for stem cell donors to prevent CMV
This trial tests whether giving a CMV vaccine to stem cell donors can help protect recipients from CMV infection after transplant. It is for adults with specific blood cancers who are CMV-positive and have a matched related donor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05873712RecruitingPhase 2
Zanubrutinib plus CAR-T for Richter syndrome
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of zanubrutinib (an oral medicine) and CAR-T cell therapy can treat Richter syndrome, a type of lymphoma that develops in people with CLL/SLL. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes after the disease comes back or doesn’t respond to prior treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05794880Recruiting
Immunotherapy lowering immune cells before transplant in children
This trial tests a special immune-cell “preparation” treatment (called T-cell and B-cell depletion) with adjusted anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) dosing before a stem cell transplant. It aims to reduce immune-related transplant complications in people under 25 with certain blood cancers in a specific remission status.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges birth–25 years - NCT05805605RecruitingPhase 2
Low-intensity stem cell transplant with donor cells and blood-protection
This Phase 2 study tests a low-intensity bone marrow/stem cell transplant using a matched donor plus two medicines to help prevent the donor cells from attacking you. It aims to treat certain blood cancers—especially when standard treatment has not fully worked or when you are in remission but at higher risk.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 75 years - NCT05549661RecruitingPhase 1
Onvansertib for hard-to-treat CMML and MDS/MPN
This Phase 1 study tests onvansertib to see if it can help people with repeat or treatment-resistant chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and MDS/MPN overlap. It also studies side effects and gathers blood/bone marrow samples to better understand how the treatment works.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05418088RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for hard-to-treat B-cell cancers
This Phase 1 study tests lab-made immune cells (CAR T-cells) that target CD19, CD20, and/or CD22 in people with certain relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers. It may help by attacking cancer cells that still carry these targets, but eligibility is very specific and includes prior treatments and health/lab requirements.
Columbus, OhioAges 2 years+ - NCT05322850RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Engineered donor stem cell transplant for childhood blood cancers
This trial tests a new way to prepare donor stem cells before a transplant for children and young adults with blood cancers. The goal is to make the transplant safer and more effective, potentially reducing complications like graft-versus-host disease.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Up to 50 years - NCT05304377RecruitingPhase 1
Early trial drug for chronic-phase CML after prior treatments
This Phase 1 study tests ELVN-001 in people with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have had limited benefit or side effects from other CML medicines. It may help shrink leukemia activity safely and find the best dosing for people who still need treatment options.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05254743RecruitingPhase 3
Pirtobrutinib versus ibrutinib for CLL or SLL
This Phase 3 trial compares two oral medicines—pirtobrutinib and ibrutinib—in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who need treatment. It’s designed to see which drug works better and is easier to take, especially for people with a specific genetic change in the cancer (17p deletion).
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04892277RecruitingPhase 1
CD19 CAR-T for adults with hard-to-treat B-cell cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a lab-made immune therapy (CD19 CAR-T) for adults whose B-cell cancers have come back or did not respond to treatment. It may help your immune system better recognize and attack cancer cells, but it is early research, so benefits and risks are still being defined.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 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+ - NCT04169737RecruitingPhase 2
Acalabrutinib and venetoclax for high-risk CLL or SLL
This trial tests whether acalabrutinib and venetoclax (with or without early obinutuzumab) can control chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It is mainly for people whose disease is high-risk, has come back, or did not respond to earlier treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 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+ - NCT04239157RecruitingPhase 2
Canakinumab shot for lower-risk MDS and related blood disorders
This trial tests canakinumab, a medication that blocks inflammation, given as a skin (subcutaneous) injection. It is for adults with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or a related condition (chronic myelomonocytic leukemia or CCUS) to see if it can improve blood counts and reduce problems like anemia or transfusion needs.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 303 recruiting chronic 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 chronic 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 chronic 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.
