Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05732103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing CTX-712 for AML or high-risk MDS after prior treatment
This early-phase study tests CTX-712, a new cancer treatment, in people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or certain high-risk blood cancers came back or did not respond to prior therapy. It may help shrink the cancer and control the disease by targeting it differently than standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03471260RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ivosidenib and venetoclax for IDH1-mutated leukemia or MDS
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether the medicines ivosidenib and venetoclax (with or without azacitidine) can help people with certain “IDH1-mutated” blood cancers like AML or high-risk MDS. It’s meant for patients whose disease has come back, doesn’t respond, or who can’t safely get standard chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04047641RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Quizartinib with chemotherapy for new or returning leukemia
This trial tests a combination of anti-leukemia drugs (including quizartinib) together with chemotherapy for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a rare mixed-type leukemia, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It may help by trying to better control cancer in people whose disease is newly diagnosed or has returned/not responded to prior treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04256317RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Azacitidine pills with or without venetoclax for certain blood cancers
This study tests whether a pill form of azacitidine (ASTX030) helps people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), CMML, or AML. Some groups may also receive venetoclax; the goal is better blood cancer control for people who aren’t good candidates for intensive chemotherapy.

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03589729RecruitingPhase 2
Dexrazoxane to help protect the heart during blood-cancer chemo

Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT06465953RecruitingPhase 3
Ivosidenib vs azacitidine for IDH1-mutated MDS
This trial tests if the drug ivosidenib alone or azacitidine alone can help people with a specific type of MDS that has an IDH1 mutation. It is for people who have not had strong MDS treatments yet.

What taking part in a high risk myelodysplastic syndrome study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
