Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Arroyo Grande, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT06287944RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted radiation and chemo before donor stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new approach: giving a targeted radioactive antibody (attached to a drug that finds CD38 on cancer cells) along with low-dose chemotherapy and targeted radiation to the bone marrow before a donor stem cell transplant. The goal is to prepare the body for the transplant while killing remaining cancer cells more precisely.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT05554406RecruitingPhase 2
New drug therapy for high-risk AML
This trial is testing new drug combinations for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk AML who have not yet started treatment. It aims to find more effective therapies for this aggressive form of leukemia.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18–59 - 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+ - NCT06763341RecruitingPhase 1
AOH1996 for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new drug, AOH1996, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to see if this drug is safe and helps control the leukemia.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03779854RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing graft-versus-host disease in kids after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether removing certain immune cells (T cells) from the donor transplant can lower the risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease (long-term immune attack after transplant) in children and young adults with blood cancers. If you qualify, it may help improve transplant outcomes while tracking safety and side effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months–26 years - NCT03850574RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tuspetinib for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This early-phase study tests tuspetinib in people with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to learn whether it is safe and tolerable, how the drug behaves in the body, and whether it shows signs of benefit.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04256317RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Azacitidine pills with or without venetoclax for certain blood cancers
This study tests whether a pill form of azacitidine (ASTX030) helps people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), CMML, or AML. Some groups may also receive venetoclax; the goal is better blood cancer control for people who aren’t good candidates for intensive chemotherapy.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04260022RecruitingPhase 1
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.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04905810RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine or decitabine plus venetoclax for AML after prior failure
This trial studies whether adding venetoclax to either azacitidine or decitabine can treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) when earlier “hypomethylating” treatment has stopped working. You might be a candidate if you’ve already tried azacitidine or decitabine for a related blood condition and it failed, and you meet the health-safety limits.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05184842RecruitingPhase 2
Weekly low-dose decitabine plus venetoclax for MDS or AML
This Phase 2 study tests a gentler weekly combination of two medicines—decitabine and venetoclax—for people with MDS, AML, or MDS/MPN. The goal is to improve blood counts and disease control while reducing side effects compared with more harsh treatments.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05190471RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for adults with AML that did not respond or returned
This Phase 1 study tests BP1002 in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is refractory (not responding) or relapsed (coming back). It’s early-stage, aiming to find a safe dose and see if the treatment can help people with limited options.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05672147RecruitingPhase 1
CD33 CAR T cells for hard-to-treat AML
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CD33 CAR T cells) for adults with AML that has returned or did not respond to treatment. It aims to see how safe the therapy is and how well it works for AML cells that carry the CD33 marker.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05735184RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with AML medicines for NPM1- or KMT2A-mutated leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and tolerable ziftomenib is when combined with standard AML medicines (like venetoclax and azacitidine, and other chemo options) in people with AML. It’s for AML patients who have specific genetic changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) and helps doctors find the best, safest dose plan.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05886049RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a menin drug with standard chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This early-phase study tests a menin inhibitor drug (SNDX-5613) combined with standard induction chemotherapy (daunorubicin plus cytarabine) in newly diagnosed AML with specific gene changes (NPM1 or FLT3 status, or MLL/KMT2A or NUP98). It may help patients whose AML has these genetic features respond better to intensive treatment.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06001788RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new drug combination called ziftomenib for people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. Researchers will check how safe it is and what side effects happen.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06059391RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine for stem cell donors to prevent CMV

Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06163430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new pill for CML after other treatments
This study tests a new targeted pill called TERN-701 for people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) that has not responded well to or caused side effects from other targeted therapies. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06462365RecruitingPhase 1
Preventing GvHD after stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This trial tests a new way to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), a common complication after a stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who are getting a stem cell transplant from a half-matched family member or unrelated donor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06501196RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BH-30236 for leukemia and high-risk MDS
This trial tests an experimental drug, BH-30236, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or a high-risk form of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to treatment. It aims to see if the drug can help control the disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07020533RecruitingPhase 1

What taking part in a chronic myeloid leukemia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
