Venetoclax with BUCY conditioning for high-risk AML or MDS transplant
This trial tests whether adding venetoclax (a pill that targets cancer cells) to the standard chemotherapy regimen before a stem cell transplant improves outcomes for people with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It is for patients aged 12–60 whose cancer has specific high-risk features and who have a matched donor.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 12–60 - NCT07228273RecruitingPhase 2
A new drug combo for AML and high-risk MDS
This trial combines three standard chemotherapy drugs (fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin) with a targeted therapy (venetoclax) to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and a related condition called MDS with high blast counts. The goal is to see if adding venetoclax improves results.
Portland, OregonAges 18–65 - NCT07238712RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for high-risk blood cancer transplant
This trial tests a new combination of two chemotherapy drugs (bendamustine and cyclophosphamide) given before a stem cell transplant to help prevent graft-versus-host disease. It is for people with high-risk blood cancers who don't have a fully matched donor and will receive a partially matched transplant.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–70 - NCT07259707RecruitingPhase 2
Gilteritinib with chemotherapy for FLT3-ITD positive AML
This trial tests if adding the targeted drug gilteritinib to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for adults with a specific type of AML (FLT3-ITD+). It's for newly diagnosed patients who can tolerate intensive treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–59 - NCT03802695RecruitingPhase 1
Orca-Q pill to help during stem cell transplant
This Phase 1 trial studies Orca-Q to see if it is safe and works when added around the time of an allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplant for certain blood cancers. If you qualify, the study may offer a new option for managing the transplant immune response.

Thiotepa-based stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This trial tests a new chemotherapy preparation (using thiotepa) before a stem cell transplant from a matched donor to treat blood cancers like leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to improve survival while reducing severe side effects.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07366801RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Preventing graft versus host disease in children with blood cancer
This trial tests if adding special immune cells (Treg cells) to a stem cell transplant from a half-matched donor can lower the risk of graft versus host disease (a serious side effect where donor cells attack the patient's body) in children and young adults with blood cancers.
MoscowAges 1–25 - NCT01515527RecruitingPhase 2
Cladribine plus low-dose cytarabine and decitabine for AML or MDS
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy plan (cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and decitabine) for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to shrink the leukemia/MDS and improve outcomes, including for certain people who may not tolerate standard treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 60 years+ - NCT00801489RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for AML or high-risk MDS using combination chemo
This trial tests a combination treatment (chemo drugs plus a growth-factor medicine) for people newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or certain high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). It may help by targeting cancer cells in the blood and bone marrow and improving remission chances.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02115295RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for AML, high-risk MDS, or blast CML
This trial tests a combination treatment (venetoclax plus several chemotherapy medicines) for people with AML, high-risk MDS, or CML that has progressed into a blast phase. It may help by killing leukemia-like blood cells and improving disease control.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT02203903RecruitingPhase 1
Donor T-cell treatment after transplant for high-risk AML and MDS
This Phase 1 trial studies an advanced form of donated immune cells given after a stem cell transplant to help prevent leukemia coming back. It mainly looks at safety and whether the treatment can work in people with very high-risk AML or MDS who have not relapsed.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 6 months–80 years - NCT02727803RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized natural killer cell therapy for blood cancers
This trial tests a customized immune-cell treatment (NK cells) for certain blood cancers to try to control or eliminate cancer cells. You may qualify if your cancer has come back, did not fully respond, or has higher risk features.
Houston, TexasAges 15–80 - NCT02508038RecruitingPhase 1
Test CD19+ depleted donor transplant for hard childhood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a special type of half-matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant plus medicines, aiming to reduce cancer relapse after transplant. It may help children and teens with certain leukemia/lymphoma or specific solid tumors who do not have a fully matched donor or whose best options are limited.
Madison, WisconsinAges 7 months–21 years - NCT03314974RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant study for blood cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a strong (myeloablative) stem cell transplant using donor stem cells (allogeneic transplant) for certain blood and bone marrow cancers. The goal is to see how well this approach works and whether it can improve outcomes for people who need transplant-level treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 60 years - NCT06357182RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combo for AML patients who can't have strong chemo
This trial tests a new drug combination (iadademstat plus azacitidine and venetoclax) for people with newly diagnosed AML who cannot have or do not want standard intensive chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding iadademstat makes the treatment work better.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT02646839Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing a gene-matched transplant approach for childhood leukemia
This trial studies a specific type of partially matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant in children with ALL, AML, or MDS. It looks at whether using certain immune system gene patterns (KIR) and measuring leftover disease after treatment can improve outcomes and cost-effectiveness.

Venetoclax and azacitidine as consolidation for high-risk AML
This trial tests the combination of venetoclax (a targeted pill) and azacitidine (a chemotherapy-like drug) as consolidation therapy after initial treatment in adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have achieved remission and are planning a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this combination helps prevent relapse before transplant.

Dual-Target CAR-T Cells for Blood Cancers That Haven't Responded to Treatment
This study tests a new type of cell therapy called CAR-T cells that are designed to target two different proteins on cancer cells. These cells are made from your own immune cells, trained in the lab, and then put back into your body to fight blood cancers that have come back or stopped responding to previous treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for high risk acute myeloid leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 207 recruiting high risk acute myeloid leukemia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a high risk acute myeloid leukemia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a high risk acute myeloid leukemia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
