Recruiting studies in Illinois
- 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 1–21 - NCT03328078RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Emavusertib for recurrent brain lymphoma after prior treatment
This Phase 1/2 trial tests emavusertib (a targeted medicine) in adults with primary central nervous system lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It’s designed to find safe dosing and see how well the treatment can control the lymphoma in the brain/spinal fluid.

Study drug SLS009 for high-risk leukemia in adults and teens
This early-phase study tests SLS009 (also called GFH009), a targeted medicine, to treat certain blood cancers—especially high-risk or difficult-to-treat AML. It’s designed to see how the drug works, how safe it is, and what dose may be best for you.

Study of Pralatrexate in patients with advanced cancer and liver problems
This trial tests a drug called pralatrexate in people with advanced solid tumors or blood cancers, including those with different levels of liver function. The goal is to understand how the drug works in the body and how safe it is for patients with various degrees of liver impairment.

Long-term follow-up for CRISPR CAR T therapy recipients
This study follows people who have already received a CRISPR CAR T cell therapy to monitor their long-term health and any side effects. It helps doctors understand how these treatments work over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06401356RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term study for people already taking pelabresib
This is a follow-up study for people who are already taking the drug pelabresib in another trial and are doing well on it. It allows you to continue receiving pelabresib and monitors your health over a longer period.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07756034Recruiting
Cancer data registry for patients in the U.S.
This study collects information from people with cancer to help researchers learn more about the disease. You may join a general cancer registry or, if your child has a specific type of leukemia, a special part of the study.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT03486873RecruitingPhase 3
Study extension for people on pembrolizumab, testing long-term safety
This trial follows people with advanced tumors who are already on pembrolizumab (or similar treatment) to check long-term safety and effectiveness. It may help your care team by monitoring benefits and side effects over a longer period.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04634552RecruitingPhase 2
Talquetamab study for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
This trial studies talquetamab, a medicine given to treat multiple myeloma that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink tumors and improve disease control, depending on how your myeloma measures and your health status.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05292664RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax trial for high-risk blood cancers in young patients
This Phase 1 study tests venetoclax to treat certain high-risk blood cancers in children, teens, or young adults. It is designed to see if the drug can work safely for patients whose disease has returned or did not respond to prior treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 1–40 - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06960993Recruiting
Mosaic trial for stem cell transplant patients
This trial tests a website designed to help patients learn about stem cell transplants for blood cancers. It aims to support you during your transplant journey.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT01351545Recruiting
Cryopreserved cord blood access program for transplant patients
This trial studies an organized way to obtain and distribute unlicensed (not FDA-approved for general use) stored cord blood units that have been frozen and kept. It may help people who need a cord blood transplant but don’t fit the “licensed cord blood only” options.
Zion, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT05041309Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up after a Kite gene-cell infusion
This study checks on people long after they received a gene-modified cell infusion in a Kite-sponsored study. It helps researchers understand how treatments work over time and watch for any long-term effects.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT00920972RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bone marrow transplant prep for children with non-cancer blood disorders
This early-stage study tests a specific chemotherapy “conditioning” regimen to prepare the body for a bone marrow transplant in children with certain non-cancer blood or immune conditions. It may help the transplant work better, but it also carries risks from the chemotherapy and transplant process.

What taking part in a hematologic malignancy 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.
