Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT05834244RecruitingPhase 1
New and relapsed AML treatment using azacitidine, venetoclax, and NK cells
This Phase 1 trial tests a combination of azacitidine, venetoclax, and donor NK cells to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or certain AML-like syndromes. It’s designed mainly to find safe dosing and whether this approach can control the leukemia.
Cleveland, OhioAges 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+ - NCT05800210RecruitingPhase 2
T cell and B cell immune “wipeout” after stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 trial studies whether removing certain immune cells (alpha/beta T cells and CD19+ B cells) around the time of a stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for people with high-risk blood cancers. It may help by reducing the immune responses that can interfere with the transplant working, while keeping the process safe.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 6 months–39 years - NCT05805605RecruitingPhase 2
Low-intensity stem cell transplant with donor cells and blood-protection
This Phase 2 study tests a low-intensity bone marrow/stem cell transplant using a matched donor plus two medicines to help prevent the donor cells from attacking you. It aims to treat certain blood cancers—especially when standard treatment has not fully worked or when you are in remission but at higher risk.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 75 years - NCT05732103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing CTX-712 for AML or high-risk MDS after prior treatment

Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–59 - NCT05554393RecruitingPhase 2
Treating intermediate-risk AML in younger adults
This trial compares three different drug combinations for younger adults (18-59) with intermediate-risk AML. You will be assigned to one of three groups: standard chemotherapy (cytarabine + daunorubicin), that same chemotherapy plus venetoclax, or venetoclax combined with azacitidine.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–59 - NCT05360160RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral menin inhibitor plus AML medicines for new or relapsed AML
This trial tests an all-pill (oral) combination treatment—menin inhibitor SNDX-5613 plus decitabine/cedazuridine (ASTX727) and venetoclax—for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It’s designed for people who are newly diagnosed and can’t get the strongest chemotherapy, or for certain other AML groups who may still benefit.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT05322850RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
