Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- 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.

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02269592Recruiting
Study blood marker changes in early, symptom-free blood cancers
This study follows people with early, “precursor” blood conditions to learn what changes in their blood or bone marrow signal progression. It may help doctors better predict outcomes and understand why some people develop symptom-causing cancer.
Brighton, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05463796Recruiting
Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT07426484RecruitingPhase 4
Testing cosibelimab for advanced skin cancer in specific patients
This trial tests an immunotherapy drug called cosibelimab for patients with advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma who have either had a kidney transplant or have a blood cancer like lymphoma or myeloma. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors when surgery or radiation is not an option.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07403812Recruiting

Study of SNIPR001 for stem cell transplant patients
This trial tests an oral treatment called SNIPR001 that targets a type of E. coli bacteria resistant to common antibiotics. It may help prevent infections during stem cell transplant recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06859424RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new GVHD prevention method after donor stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new way to prevent graft-versus-host disease (a common side effect of stem cell transplant) using a drug called cyclophosphamide after transplant. It is for adults with certain blood cancers who need a transplant from a partially matched unrelated donor.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–66 - NCT06676852Recruiting
Palliative care support for stem cell transplant patients
This study tests whether adding a palliative care program (extra support for comfort and quality of life) is helpful for people receiving a stem cell transplant. It aims to see if patients and doctors find it useful and easy to use.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06665100RecruitingPhase 2
Study of PUL-042 for RSV and Related Viruses in Immune-Compromised Patients
This trial tests an inhaled medicine (PUL-042) for people with blood cancers or who have had a stem cell transplant and now have a respiratory virus (parainfluenza, RSV, or human metapneumovirus). The goal is to see if the drug can help clear the virus and improve symptoms.

IVIG to help prevent infections after CAR-T treatment
This Phase 2 study tests whether IVIG (a blood product that helps fight infections) can lower infection risk after you receive CD19 CAR-T therapy. It’s meant to help protect you during the vulnerable period after CAR-T treatment.

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.
