Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05643235Recruiting
Loop monitor to watch heart rhythms when starting a BTK inhibitor
This study checks how often abnormal heart rhythms happen when you start a BTK inhibitor (used for certain blood cancers). It uses a small implanted heart monitor to record your rhythm continuously before and after starting the medication, so doctors can detect and manage problems early.
New Hyde Park, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05807932RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Venetoclax added to conditioning before stem cell transplant
This trial tests adding venetoclax to a standard “conditioning” chemotherapy plan before an allogeneic stem cell transplant (using a donor) for certain bone marrow cancers. It aims to improve how well the transplant works and how safe this combination is for people with MDS, CMML, or sAML.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06508775Recruiting
Long-term checkup for Miltenyi cell therapy patients
This study is a long-term check-in for people who received a special type of immunotherapy (CAR T cells) made by Miltenyi. It helps researchers see how you're doing over time after your treatment.
BerlinAges Any age - NCT06543381RecruitingPhase 1
Olutasidenib for IDH1-mutated blood cancers after transplant
This trial tests a drug called olutasidenib for people with certain blood cancers (AML, MDS, or CMML) that have a specific IDH1 gene change. The goal is to see if it can help prevent relapse after a donor stem cell transplant.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07685717RecruitingPhase 2
Pirtobrutinib for older adults with CLL

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 308 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.
