Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT06376162RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with chemotherapy for children with relapsed leukemia
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called ziftomenib to standard chemotherapy can help children whose leukemia has come back or not responded to treatment. It is for children with certain genetic changes in their leukemia cells.
Houston, TexasAges birth–21 years - NCT01746836RecruitingPhase 2
Ponatinib for CML that didn’t respond to prior pills
This trial studies ponatinib as a second treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) when it didn’t fully respond or couldn’t be tolerated with at least one prior CML pill. It aims to see whether ponatinib can better control leukemia levels after earlier treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04811560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a targeted medicine for certain relapsed leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial tests bleximenib, a targeted medicine, for people whose acute leukemia has specific gene changes and has come back or does not respond to treatment. It may help by attacking these leukemia-specific targets when other treatment options have run out.
Houston, TexasAges 2 years+ - NCT06616636RecruitingPhase 1
Rezatapopt and azacitidine for AML or MDS with a specific TP53 mutation
This trial tests a new drug, rezatapopt, combined with azacitidine for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It is only for people whose cancer cells have a specific change in a gene called TP53 (the Y220C mutation). The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06969430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Debio 1562M for relapsed or refractory AML
This trial tests a new drug called Debio 1562M for people with AML that has not responded to treatment or has come back. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can help fight the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05360160RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral menin inhibitor plus AML medicines for new or relapsed AML
This trial tests an all-pill (oral) combination treatment—menin inhibitor SNDX-5613 plus decitabine/cedazuridine (ASTX727) and venetoclax—for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It’s designed for people who are newly diagnosed and can’t get the strongest chemotherapy, or for certain other AML groups who may still benefit.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT03383575RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine plus enasidenib for IDH2-mutant MDS
This trial tests whether combining azacitidine with enasidenib helps people with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has an IDH2 mutation. It’s designed for people who are either new to “hypomethylating” treatment or whose MDS returned/worsened after it.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT03013998RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Personalized treatment study for acute myeloid leukemia
This study matches people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to treatments based on their specific genetic markers. It aims to find the most effective therapy with fewer side effects compared to standard care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07220993RecruitingPhase 1
Modified immune cells for aggressive T-cell cancers
This trial tests a new treatment using specially engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) from a past stem cell donor to attack cancer cells in people with certain types of T-cell cancers that have returned after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this treatment can lead to remission so a second stem cell transplant can be done.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 75 years - NCT05082519RecruitingPhase 2
Calorie restriction and exercise to improve leukemia treatment in young patients
This study tests whether a special diet (calorie restriction) and increased physical activity can make chemotherapy work better for young people with B-ALL. Participants will follow a monitored diet and exercise plan during their first month of treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 7–25 - NCT06634394RecruitingPhase 1
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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06533579RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for CD19-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new gene therapy treatment for people with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma that have the CD19 marker and have not responded to other treatments. The therapy uses a virus to deliver a gene to target and kill cancer cells.
Houston, TexasAges 13–90 - NCT06566742RecruitingPhase 2
Olutasidenib for IDH1-mutated blood disorders
This trial tests an oral drug called olutasidenib in people with certain low-risk blood cancers or a pre-cancer condition. It may help by targeting a specific genetic change (IDH1 mutation) found in your blood cells.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05947851RecruitingPhase 3
Nemtabrutinib plus venetoclax versus standard add-on therapy
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding nemtabrutinib to venetoclax works better than the usual next treatment approach (venetoclax plus rituximab) in people with relapsed or treatment-resistant CLL/SLL. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds after at least one prior therapy.
Sugar Land, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06588478RecruitingPhase 2
Study of pirtobrutinib for CLL or SLL
This trial tests a new drug called pirtobrutinib for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It is for those whose cancer has come back or not responded to treatment, including a prior BTK inhibitor, and also for those who have never been treated but have a specific genetic change (17p deletion).

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.
