Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04315324RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug OBI-3424 for relapsed T-cell blood cancer
This trial tests OBI-3424, an investigational medicine, in adults and children with relapsed or hard-to-treat T-cell acute leukemia or certain T-cell lymphoma. It may help by shrinking cancer when standard treatments have not worked.
Cleveland, OhioAges 12 years+ - NCT04293562RecruitingPhase 3
Testing targeted drugs plus chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This study compares standard chemotherapy to chemotherapy plus CPX-351 and/or gilteritinib in children and young adults newly diagnosed with AML. It aims to see whether adding these targeted treatments improves outcomes, especially for certain gene changes like FLT3.
Cleveland, OhioAges Up to 21 years - NCT04260022RecruitingPhase 1
Drug study for hard-to-treat CML or Ph+ ALL
This Phase 1 study tests HQP1351 for people with CML or Ph+ ALL that has not responded well to standard targeted pills (TKIs), or those who could not tolerate them. It’s designed to see whether the treatment can work and how safe it is for this difficult-to-treat group.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05131022RecruitingPhase 1

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.
