Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT04150497RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cell therapy for CD22-positive leukemia
This trial tests UCART22, a new cell-based treatment, for people with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has the CD22 marker. It may help by attacking leukemia cells that carry CD22.
Houston, TexasAges 15–50 - NCT05732103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing CTX-712 for AML or high-risk MDS after prior treatment
This early-phase study tests CTX-712, a new cancer treatment, in people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or certain high-risk blood cancers came back or did not respond to prior therapy. It may help shrink the cancer and control the disease by targeting it differently than standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06852222RecruitingPhase 3
Study of bleximenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine for newly diagnosed AML
This trial tests a new drug combination (bleximenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine) for people with a specific genetic type of AML who cannot receive strong chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination is safer and more effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06973187RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drugs for CLL or SLL after prior treatment
This trial tests a new drug (BGB-16673) against another drug (pirtobrutinib) for people with CLL or SLL that hasn't responded to or has come back after a prior BTK inhibitor treatment. The goal is to see which drug is more effective and safe.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03150693RecruitingPhase 3
New treatment for young adults with CD22-positive ALL
This Phase 3 trial tests adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard chemotherapy for newly diagnosed CD22-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It may help more patients achieve remission and reduce the risk of the leukemia coming back, while also checking safety and tolerability.
Houston, TexasAges 18–39 - NCT03471260RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03683433RecruitingPhase 2
Enasidenib plus azacitidine for IDH2-mutated AML
This trial studies the combination of enasidenib and azacitidine in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has an IDH2 gene mutation. It may help control the leukemia when prior treatments didn’t work or the disease came back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05010564RecruitingPhase 1
TRICAR-ALL CAR-T treatment for tough childhood leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests a customized CAR-T cell therapy for children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that keeps coming back or doesn’t respond to treatment.

Houston, TexasAges 1–25 - NCT07356154RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of revumenib and mezigdomide for leukemia
This trial tests two experimental drugs, revumenib and mezigdomide, for people with acute leukemia that has certain genetic changes (NPM1, KMT2A, or NUP98) and has come back or not responded to prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT04047641RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Quizartinib with chemotherapy for new or returning leukemia
This trial tests a combination of anti-leukemia drugs (including quizartinib) together with chemotherapy for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a rare mixed-type leukemia, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It may help by trying to better control cancer in people whose disease is newly diagnosed or has returned/not responded to prior treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Houston, TexasAges 40–75 - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07504458RecruitingPhase 3
Study of QTX-2101 for adults with a type of leukemia
This trial tests a new drug, QTX-2101, in people with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) that is low- or intermediate-risk. The study aims to see if the drug works and is safe for those who qualify.
Houston, TexasAges 18–71 - NCT06769490RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib and Quizartinib combination for AML
This trial tests two targeted drugs, ziftomenib and quizartinib, together for people with a certain type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to find the best dose and see if the combination helps.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07513129RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combination for relapsed T-cell blood cancer in teens and young adults
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (venetoclax, dexamethasone, bortezomib, and daratumumab) to treat T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma that has come back or stopped responding to prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help patients aged 12–30 achieve remission.
Houston, TexasAges 12–30 - NCT06834282RecruitingPhase 1

This trial tests a combination of three drugs (pirtobrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab) given for a limited time to people whose CLL/SLL has come back after prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer and possibly allow a treatment-free period.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07128381RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Axatilimab plus Ruxolitinib for Myelofibrosis and CMML

Study of APVO436 for untreated AML patients
This trial tests a new drug called APVO436 for people with a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has not been treated before. It is for those who cannot receive strong standard chemotherapy due to age, health problems, or organ function issues.

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.

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.
