Trial tests transplant using a half-matched donor for high-risk leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests a special bone marrow transplant using a related “half-matched” donor (haploidentical), without a specific immune-suppressing medicine (“IS-free”). It’s for adults with certain high-risk AML or MDS to see if this approach can improve control of the disease while tracking safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT04708054RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Venetoclax with busulfan chemo for high-risk AML or MDS
This study tests whether adding venetoclax to a specific busulfan-based chemotherapy plan improves outcomes for people with high-risk AML or MDS. It mainly targets patients whose leukemia/marrow disease still has high-risk features or measurable disease after initial treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT04774393RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study for AML after it returns or resists treatment
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of medicines (decitabine/cedazuridine, venetoclax, and ivosidenib or enasidenib) in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or hasn’t responded. It may help control the leukemia by targeting cancer cells and specific genetic changes in the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04797767RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Venetoclax plus CLAG-M for high-risk AML
This trial studies venetoclax combined with CLAG-M chemotherapy to treat adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or related high-grade blood cancers. It aims to improve control of the disease, especially in people whose AML is considered high risk.
