Recruiting studies
- NCT07723703RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for acute myeloid leukemia and related blood cancer
This trial is testing a new medicine called AMX-883 for people with a type of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or a high-risk blood disorder called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back or not responded to other treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for high risk myelodysplastic syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 150 recruiting high risk myelodysplastic syndrome 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 myelodysplastic syndrome 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 myelodysplastic syndrome 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.
