Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT03896269RecruitingPhase 1
CPX-351 for high-risk MDS or CMML that came back
This Phase 1 trial studies CPX-351, a cancer medicine, in people with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) whose disease relapsed or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink or control the leukemia and improve blood counts in patients who cannot or do not want a stem cell transplant.
Houston, TexasAges 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 - NCT03630991RecruitingPhase 1
Calcium chelator medicine for AML or MDS during chemotherapy
This Phase 1 study tests whether edetate calcium disodium (also called succimer) can be safely given to people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) while they are on chemotherapy. The goal is to learn the safest dose and whether it has signs of helping the blood cancer respond to treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 1 year+ - NCT03326921RecruitingPhase 1
T cell treatment for leukemia after a bone marrow transplant
This early-phase trial tests an immune “T cell” therapy made to recognize a specific leukemia target. It is for people whose acute leukemia has come back (relapsed) or did not fully respond after receiving a donor stem cell transplant.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 80 years - NCT03314974RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant study for blood cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a strong (myeloablative) stem cell transplant using donor stem cells (allogeneic transplant) for certain blood and bone marrow cancers. The goal is to see how well this approach works and whether it can improve outcomes for people who need transplant-level treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 60 years - NCT02727803RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized natural killer cell therapy for blood cancers
This trial tests a customized immune-cell treatment (NK cells) for certain blood cancers to try to control or eliminate cancer cells. You may qualify if your cancer has come back, did not fully respond, or has higher risk features.
Houston, TexasAges 15–80 - NCT01746836RecruitingPhase 2
Ponatinib for CML that didn’t respond to prior pills
This trial studies ponatinib as a second treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) when it didn’t fully respond or couldn’t be tolerated with at least one prior CML pill. It aims to see whether ponatinib can better control leukemia levels after earlier treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02115295RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for AML, high-risk MDS, or blast CML
This trial tests a combination treatment (venetoclax plus several chemotherapy medicines) for people with AML, high-risk MDS, or CML that has progressed into a blast phase. It may help by killing leukemia-like blood cells and improving disease control.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07383298Enrolling by invitation
Lower dose of olverembatinib for chronic myeloid leukemia
This study looks at whether lowering the dose of olverembatinib (from 30 or 40 mg to 20 mg every other day) keeps working well for people with chronic myeloid leukemia who have already had a good response. It aims to see if a lower dose can still control the cancer while possibly reducing side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07302776RecruitingPhase 1
Stopping immune suppression after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether it's safe to stop one type of anti-rejection medication (tacrolimus) earlier than usual after a stem cell transplant from a matched donor. If you qualify, you may be able to reduce your long-term medication burden.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT04888741RecruitingPhase 2
Trial testing reduced immune T cells before stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 trial looks at a transplant approach that reduces harmful immune cells (T cells) before or during an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It may help lower the risk of transplant complications while still letting the donor immune system fight the blood cancer.
Cardiff, WalesAges 16–70 - NCT01890486Recruiting
Collecting information from people having a stem cell transplant
This study aims to collect, store, and share data from patients who are receiving standard intensive treatment and a stem cell transplant from either their own cells or a donor. It may help improve how future patients are treated by building a reliable record of outcomes and care patterns.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18–120 - 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+ - NCT07354074RecruitingPhase 2
Study of asciminib for children with Ph+ CML
This trial tests an oral medication called asciminib in children and teens with a type of leukemia called Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML). It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for patients who are newly diagnosed or whose current treatment has stopped working or caused side effects.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 1–18 - NCT07602088Recruiting
Real-world Study of Two Cancer Drugs for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
This study follows patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)—a blood cancer—who are starting treatment with two drugs called ibrutinib and venetoclax together for a set period of time. Researchers want to understand how well this treatment works and how it affects patients' daily lives in real-world settings, rather than in a controlled lab environment.
BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT07588594Recruiting
Thiotepa-Based Stem Cell Transplant for Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia
This trial tests a chemotherapy regimen (thiotepa-containing preparation) combined with a stem cell transplant from a donor to treat chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), a rare blood cancer. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients with intermediate-to-high risk disease achieve remission.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06088888RecruitingPhase 1
TGRX-678 for CML that hasn't responded to other treatments
This study tests a new daily pill called TGRX-678 for people with chronic-phase CML who have not responded well to or cannot tolerate other CML treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and if it can help control the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07277231RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drug combinations for untreated CLL
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib) against another standard combination (venetoclax plus acalabrutinib) for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have not had treatment before. The goal is to see which combination works better.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07099443Recruiting
How BTK Degraders Work in CLL
This study looks at CLL patients who are taking or may take a BTK degrader (a newer type of targeted therapy) to find out what factors influence how well the treatment works. It aims to help doctors understand who benefits most from this approach.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07061145Recruiting
TKI treatment and erectile dysfunction in men with CML
This study looks at whether tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), a common treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), are linked to erectile dysfunction in men. It aims to help patients and doctors understand possible side effects.
Reggio Emilia, REAges 18–75 - NCT07033598RecruitingPhase 2
Pacritinib or hydroxyurea for advanced CMML
This trial tests whether pacritinib works better than hydroxyurea for people with advanced proliferative chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). It may help if your white blood cell count is high and you have an enlarged spleen, severe symptoms, or low platelets.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04704323RecruitingPhase 1
CAP-100 drug study for hard-to-treat CLL after prior treatments
This early-phase (Phase 1) study tests CAP-100 in adults with CLL or SLL that has come back or did not respond to at least two previous treatments. The goal is to see how the drug works and whether it is safe enough to keep studying.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06333262RecruitingPhase 2
Fixed-duration pirtobrutinib and obinutuzumab for untreated CLL
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, pirtobrutinib (a pill) and obinutuzumab (an infusion), given for a set period of time in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have not had any previous treatment for their disease. The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer effectively.
