Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04093570Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Extension study for people continuing ASTX727 from a prior trial
This study checks whether continuing ASTX727 for people who already benefited from it in an earlier Taiho study is safe and effective. It may be an option if you stayed on ASTX727 at the end of your parent study and your doctor felt it was helping you.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04771130RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of BGB-11417 for blood cancers
This early-phase study tests BGB-11417 in people with certain bone-marrow (blood) cancers such as AML, MDS, or MDS/MPN. The goal is to find out how the medicine works and whether it can control the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05184842RecruitingPhase 2
Weekly low-dose decitabine plus venetoclax for MDS or AML
This Phase 2 study tests a gentler weekly combination of two medicines—decitabine and venetoclax—for people with MDS, AML, or MDS/MPN. The goal is to improve blood counts and disease control while reducing side effects compared with more harsh treatments.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06543381RecruitingPhase 1
Olutasidenib for IDH1-mutated blood cancers after transplant

What taking part in a leukemia, myeloid 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.
