Bezuclastinib for advanced mast cell disease
This Phase 2 study tests bezuclastinib, a targeted medicine, in people with advanced systemic mastocytosis (including certain advanced forms with blood cancers). It aims to shrink measurable disease and improve symptoms, while helping people who may also need treatment for an associated blood cancer.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT00736749Recruiting
Long-term health check for childhood cancer survivors
This trial tracks the long-term health of people who took part in previous Children's Oncology Group studies. It helps doctors understand the lasting effects of cancer treatment and improve care for survivors.

What taking part in a leukemia 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.
