Recruiting studies near Columbus
- NCT07356245RecruitingPhase 2
Ruxolitinib after stem cell transplant for T-cell lymphoma
This trial tests whether taking ruxolitinib after a stem cell transplant can help prevent T-cell lymphoma from coming back. It is for patients whose lymphoma is in remission (partial or complete) after their transplant.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05886049RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a menin drug with standard chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This early-phase study tests a menin inhibitor drug (SNDX-5613) combined with standard induction chemotherapy (daunorubicin plus cytarabine) in newly diagnosed AML with specific gene changes (NPM1 or FLT3 status, or MLL/KMT2A or NUP98). It may help patients whose AML has these genetic features respond better to intensive treatment.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT05592015RecruitingPhase 2
Ruxolitinib for T-cell large granular leukemia
This Phase 2 study tests ruxolitinib, a targeted medicine, to improve outcomes in T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL). It is for people whose disease is causing symptoms or who have already tried other treatment, with specific blood, infection, and medication requirements.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07504458RecruitingPhase 3
Study of QTX-2101 for adults with a type of leukemia

Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06366789RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for AML with FLT3 or spliceosome mutations
This trial tests a new drug called ZE46-0134 for adults with AML that has a specific gene change (FLT3 or spliceosome mutation) and hasn't been controlled by prior treatment. It aims to find the right dose and see if it can help stop the leukemia from growing.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05475925RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug DR-01 for specific blood cancer types
This early-phase study tests DR-01 to treat large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGLL) or certain aggressive T-cell or cytotoxic lymphomas. It aims to see whether the drug is safe and can shrink or control the cancer.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05702645Recruiting
Down syndrome long-term study after leukemia treatment
This study follows children and young adults with Down syndrome who have survived acute leukemia (ALL or AML) to learn about their longer-term health after treatment ends. It may help families and doctors understand what health problems to watch for and how to provide better follow-up care.
Columbus, OhioAges 6–39 - NCT06930352RecruitingPhase 2
Ziftomenib for newly diagnosed AML with NPM1 or KMT2A changes
This trial tests an oral drug called ziftomenib for people with a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has certain genetic changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) and who are not able to receive standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if ziftomenib can help control the leukemia.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06311227RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax for relapsed hairy cell leukemia

Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07061951RecruitingPhase 2
Mirdametinib for relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL
This trial tests a drug called mirdametinib for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments, including a BTK inhibitor and a BCL2 inhibitor. The goal is to see if mirdametinib can help shrink the cancer or slow its growth.

It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies have not worked.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–21 - NCT05978141Recruiting
T-cell lymphoma registry study

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.
