Testing two drugs for lower-risk MDS
This trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, luspatercept and darbepoetin alfa, can help people with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who need frequent red blood cell transfusions. The goal is to see if the combination reduces their need for transfusions.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07297576Recruiting
Sulforaphane to speed blood recovery after cord blood transplant
This trial tests if a natural compound called sulforaphane can help your blood cells recover faster after a cord blood transplant for high-risk blood cancers. If you qualify, you would receive this supplement along with your transplant.
TianjingAges 18 years+ - NCT07321626RecruitingPhase 1
Romiplostim for platelet recovery after stem cell transplant
This trial tests if romiplostim, a drug that helps the body make platelets, can speed up platelet recovery after a special type of stem cell transplant from a half-matched donor. It may help reduce bleeding risk during the recovery period.
HangzhouAges 18 years+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for high risk myelodysplastic syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 147 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.
