Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT07211958RecruitingPhase 3
Revumenib plus chemo for newly diagnosed AML with NPM1 mutation
This trial tests a new drug, revumenib, combined with strong chemotherapy for people with a specific type of AML (NPM1 mutation). The goal is to see if adding revumenib helps treat the leukemia better than chemo alone.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT07007312RecruitingPhase 3
Ziftomenib plus standard chemo for certain AML patients
This trial tests a new drug, ziftomenib, added to standard chemotherapy for adults with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have specific gene changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement). It aims to see if the combination works better than standard treatment alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06034275RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VIP943 for CD123-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug called VIP943 for people with advanced acute myeloid leukemia (AML), B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) whose cancer cells have a marker called CD123. It is for those who have tried all other treatments or cannot receive them.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06297941RecruitingPhase 1
Study of REM-422 for AML or high-risk MDS
This trial tests an experimental oral medication called REM-422 for people with AML (a type of blood cancer) that has not responded to treatment or has come back, or for those with high-risk MDS. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.

This trial tests a combination of three medicines—azacitidine, venetoclax, and gilteritinib—in people with specific gene changes (FLT3 mutations) in leukemia and related bone marrow diseases that have come back or are hard to treat. The goal is to see if this drug combination can control the disease and improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04256317RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Azacitidine pills with or without venetoclax for certain blood cancers

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05091424RecruitingPhase 1
Mosunetuzumab with or without venetoclax for CLL
This Phase 1 study tests whether mosunetuzumab alone or with venetoclax is safe and effective for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that came back or did not respond to prior treatment.

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06395103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zilovertamab vedotin for blood cancers and solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zilovertamab vedotin for children and young adults with certain blood cancers or solid tumors. The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells, and the study will see if it is safe and effective.
Houston, TexasAges 6 months–25 years - NCT03586609RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for older adults with untreated AML
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of venetoclax, cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and azacitidine in people with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It may help shrink the leukemia and improve blood counts by trying a stronger, multi-drug approach.
Houston, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT05645718RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus targeted antibodies for relapsed childhood B-ALL
This Phase 2 study tests a combination treatment for children, teens, or young adults whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) has come back or did not respond to initial therapy. It may help patients who cannot safely receive certain standard medicines like anthracyclines or who cannot tolerate PEG-asparaginase.

Houston, TexasAges 3–21 - NCT06811233RecruitingPhase 2
Metal detox during AML treatment

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05768932RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for advanced cancers or relapsed AML

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06284486RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Venetoclax and revumenib for AML with residual disease
This trial tests two targeted drugs, venetoclax and revumenib, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has a specific change in the NPM1, KMT2A, or NUP98 genes and has minimal residual disease (MRD) after treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can clear remaining leukemia cells and improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT06561074RecruitingPhase 2
Study of calaspargase, decitabine, and venetoclax for young T-cell cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (calaspargase, decitabine, and venetoclax) for children, teens, and young adults with T-cell leukemia or lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help destroy cancer cells.
Houston, TexasAges 1 month–21 years - NCT06786533RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cells for hard-to-treat AML

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.
