Recruiting studies near Columbus
- NCT05237258Recruiting
Compare palliative care approaches for people with high-risk AML
This study tests a specialized (targeted) palliative care program versus usual oncology care for people hospitalized with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see if this palliative approach improves comfort, support, and care planning during intensive treatment.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–120 - NCT04771572RecruitingPhase 1
Oral drug LP-118 for relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests an oral (by mouth) drug called LP-118 in people whose blood cancers have returned or did not respond to prior treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see whether it can shrink or control the cancer.
Columbus, OhioAges 13 years+ - NCT04726241RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing blood and bone marrow samples in young leukemia patients
This trial looks at blood and bone marrow samples from children and teens whose leukemia has come back or is hard to treat. The goal is to better understand the disease and guide future options for these patients.
Columbus, OhioAges Up to 22 years - NCT04988555RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an investigational drug for high-risk acute leukemia
This Phase 1/2 study tests enzomenib (DSP-5336) in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute leukemia (and, in some places, certain other blood cancers). The goal is to see how the drug works and how safe it is, especially for leukemia cases with specific genetic changes (KMT2A/MLL or NPM1).
Columbus, OhioAges 12 years+ - NCT04972942RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy for high-risk T-cell blood cancers after transplant
This Phase 1 study tests a targeted immune treatment given after strong pre-treatment (myeloablative chemo plus total-body radiation) before or along with an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back in young people with high-risk T-cell ALL or certain T-cell lymphomas.
Columbus, OhioAges Up to 39 years - NCT05336812RecruitingPhase 2
Acalabrutinib with venetoclax or obinutuzumab for untreated CLL
This Phase 2 trial studies how well acalabrutinib works when combined with either venetoclax or obinutuzumab in people with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It aims to improve disease control while checking safety and tolerability.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05417165RecruitingPhase 2
Pneumococcal vaccine plan for CLL or SLL patients
This Phase 2 study tests a specific plan for giving a pneumococcal vaccine in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It may help improve protection against pneumococcal infections in patients who have not started CLL/SLL treatment yet.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05735184RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with AML medicines for NPM1- or KMT2A-mutated leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and tolerable ziftomenib is when combined with standard AML medicines (like venetoclax and azacitidine, and other chemo options) in people with AML. It’s for AML patients who have specific genetic changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) and helps doctors find the best, safest dose plan.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06317649RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax and HMA for older adults with FLT3-mutated AML
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (venetoclax and a hypomethylating agent) plus a targeted FLT3 inhibitor for older or frail patients with a specific genetic change in their acute myeloid leukemia. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective without using the strongest chemotherapy.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06440135RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib maintenance after stem cell transplant for AML
This trial tests if the drug ziftomenib can help prevent AML from coming back after a stem cell transplant. It is for people who have certain gene changes (KMT2A rearrangement or NPM1 mutation) and are in remission or near-remission before transplant.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06523556RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of axatilimab with or without azacitidine for advanced blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug called axatilimab, given alone or with another drug, for people with certain blood cancers that are advanced or hard to treat. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06707493RecruitingPhase 2
Ivosidenib after stem cell transplant for IDH1-mutated AML
This study tests whether a daily pill called ivosidenib can help prevent AML from coming back after a stem cell transplant. It is for people whose AML has a specific IDH1 gene change and who are planning to have a transplant.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT07582432RecruitingPhase 3
Gamunex for Blood Cancer Patients With Low Antibodies
This trial tests whether Gamunex, an antibody replacement therapy, helps patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma, or non-Hodgkin lymphoma who have low immunoglobulin (antibody) levels. The treatment may reduce infections and improve how well the body fights disease.

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.
