Utrecht, UtrechtAges 1 day–18 years - NCT06652438RecruitingPhase 3
Revumenib plus standard drugs for NPM1 or KMT2A AML
This trial tests adding a new targeted drug, revumenib, to two standard AML medicines (azacitidine and venetoclax) for adults with a specific gene change (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) who cannot receive strong chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination works better.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07478991RecruitingPhase 3
Azacitidine and venetoclax with or without quizartinib for older or unfit AML patients
This trial tests if adding quizartinib to the standard combination of azacitidine and venetoclax improves outcomes for older adults or those with health conditions who cannot have intensive chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It may help patients with certain genetic changes in the FLT3 or NPM1 genes.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT02416388RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Trial for AML treatments and preventing graft-versus-host disease
This trial tests different chemotherapy induction, consolidation (follow-up treatment), and strategies to prevent complications after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It aims to improve overall survival and reduce serious transplant side effects like graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
AmiensAges 18–61 - NCT05429632RecruitingPhase 3
Mocravimod to prevent relapse after bone marrow transplant for AML
This Phase 3 trial tests mocravimod, added to standard care, to help keep acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from coming back after an allogeneic bone marrow (stem cell) transplant. It may help by supporting long-term remission during the transplant recovery period.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT04275518RecruitingPhase 1
Trial for relapsed leukemia or risky MDS with new drug
This Phase 1 study tests APG-115 alone or with azacitidine or cytarabine in people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk MDS has come back or hasn’t responded. The goal is to see safety and whether the treatment can work for these conditions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04628026RecruitingPhase 3
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for new AML or high-risk MDS
This trial tests adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy to help people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk MDS (MDS-EB-2) live longer and reduce cancer activity. You may benefit if you’re eligible for intensive chemotherapy and meet specific blood, organ, and treatment timing requirements.
InnsbruckAges 18–75 - NCT04953897RecruitingPhase 1
Oral decitabine for cancer patients with kidney problems
This Phase 1 trial studies how an oral combination cancer medicine behaves in the body (dose handling and safety) in people with kidney impairment. It may help doctors learn the safest way to use this treatment when kidney function is reduced.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04953910RecruitingPhase 1
Oral decitabine for cancers with liver problems
This Phase 1 trial studies how a pill form of decitabine/cedazuridine behaves in the body and how safe it is for people whose livers don’t work normally. It may help doctors better understand dosing and safety in patients with hepatic impairment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04990102RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Trial drug to help prevent relapse in AML
This trial tests CPX-351 to help stop acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from coming back after you’ve reached remission. It’s for people who are not able to receive a stem cell transplant and need a new way to reduce relapse risk.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05272293RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy using donor immune cells for young people with AML
This trial tests a new cancer treatment made from a close family member’s immune cells, adjusted in the lab and given to children or young adults with AML. It may help the immune system better attack leukemia, especially for high-risk, relapsed, or refractory AML.
Minsk, Minsk OblastAges 6 months–30 years - NCT05334693RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor immune cells to help prevent AML return after treatment
This study tests an “immune cell therapy” made from a family donor to help children and young adults with AML stay in remission after chemotherapy. It may help reduce the chance that AML comes back, but eligibility depends on remission status, donor suitability, and avoiding certain infections or liver issues.
Minsk, Minsk OblastAges 6 months–21 years - NCT05401097RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus IDH-targeted pills for AML patients who can’t get intensive chemo
This Phase 2 trial tests different ways of using medicines that target IDH mutations (IDH-targeted treatment) plus venetoclax in people newly diagnosed with IDH-mutated AML. It’s designed for patients who cannot safely receive intensive induction chemotherapy, to see which approach works best and is tolerable.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05431257RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine plus venetoclax for older or unfit AML
This Phase 2 study tests whether the combination of azacitidine and venetoclax can help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who can’t handle standard intensive chemotherapy, including some relapsed or refractory cases. It also involves extra optional-style lab testing on your leukemia (bio-banking and “-omics” profiling) to learn which drug sensitivities may matter.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05558124RecruitingPhase 1
Tested CPX-351 with gemtuzumab for newly diagnosed AML
This Phase 1 trial tests a new combination of CPX-351 plus gemtuzumab ozogamicin for people newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the treatment works, especially when the leukemia cells carry a target called CD33.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT05580861RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sulfasalazine for newly diagnosed AML in older adults on chemo
This Phase 1/2 trial studies whether sulfasalazine, added to intensive chemotherapy, can help older adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to improve treatment effectiveness and track leukemia “leftover cells” in some participants.
AmiensAges 60 years+ - NCT05858814RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell therapy to help prevent AML relapse after transplant
This trial tests an injection of donor-derived immune cells (called RC1012) to lower the chance of AML coming back after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It is aimed at people at higher risk of relapse once the transplant is completed.
