Recruiting studies near Milwaukee
- 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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 2 years+ - NCT07218510RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax, obinutuzumab, then epcoritamab for untreated CLL/SLL
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have not had treatment yet. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the disease with fewer side effects.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06656494RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combo for myeloid blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug (ICP-248) combined with standard treatment azacitidine for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). It aims to find out if the combo is safe and effective for those who haven't been helped by other treatments or cannot have strong chemotherapy.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06137118RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AZD0486 for relapsed or refractory B-cell ALL
This trial tests a new investigational drug (AZD0486) given alone to see if it is safe and effective for people with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. It specifically targets a protein called CD19 found on leukemia cells.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 12 years+ - NCT05865301Recruiting

Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Up to 26 years - NCT04269902RecruitingPhase 3
Early treatment check for high-risk CLL/SLL
This Phase 3 trial studies an early treatment approach for people with high-risk CLL or SLL who have not yet needed standard therapy. It aims to see if treating earlier can improve outcomes while keeping side effects manageable.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT02646839Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing a gene-matched transplant approach for childhood leukemia
This trial studies a specific type of partially matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant in children with ALL, AML, or MDS. It looks at whether using certain immune system gene patterns (KIR) and measuring leftover disease after treatment can improve outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Up to 21 years - NCT06876649RecruitingPhase 4
Long-term safety study of Pirtobrutinib
This trial is for people who are already in a Lilly study taking pirtobrutinib. It looks at the long-term safety of the drug by continuing to monitor you.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 40–75 - NCT06876662RecruitingPhase 4
Continuing pirtobrutinib for CLL and lymphoma patients
This trial continues to give pirtobrutinib to people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or certain other lymphomas who were already in a previous study with this drug. It helps researchers keep track of long-term safety and how well the drug works over time.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06317662RecruitingPhase 2
Adding venetoclax and blinatumomab to chemo for infant leukemia
This trial tests adding two newer medicines (venetoclax and blinatumomab) to standard chemotherapy for infants with a specific type of leukemia. The goal is to see if this combination helps more babies stay cancer-free.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Up to 12 months - NCT04746209RecruitingPhase 2
Blinatumomab after transplant for high-risk B-ALL patients
This trial tests blinatumomab, an immune therapy, in young people with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) after their transplant or when they are getting ready for transplant. The goal is to lower the chance of the leukemia coming back by targeting remaining leukemia cells.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Up to 25 years - NCT03959085RecruitingPhase 3
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for high-risk childhood leukemia
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding inotuzumab to standard post-induction chemotherapy improves outcomes for children and young teens with high-risk B-ALL, mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or certain high-risk B-LLy. It may help by targeting leukemia cells more directly, but participation depends on specific age, lab results, and medical history rules.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 12 months–25 years - NCT07277231RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drug combinations for untreated CLL
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib) against another standard combination (venetoclax plus acalabrutinib) for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have not had treatment before. The goal is to see which combination works better.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–39 - NCT06788639Recruiting
Long-term study of Breyanzi for CLL/SLL in real-world care
This study looks at people with CLL or SLL who have already been treated with the CAR T-cell therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel (Breyanzi) in routine medical care. It collects information about how well the treatment works and how patients are doing over time, without giving any new treatment.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04838041RecruitingPhase 2
Testing stopping treatment after asciminib for CML relapse
This trial looks at whether people with chronic-phase CML who tried stopping a prior CML medicine and had to restart can later stop treatment again after a set period using asciminib. It checks whether you can stay in a deep remission (“free remission” without the usual CML tablets).
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05554406RecruitingPhase 2
New drug therapy for high-risk AML
This trial is testing new drug combinations for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk AML who have not yet started treatment. It aims to find more effective therapies for this aggressive form of leukemia.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–59 - NCT03739814RecruitingPhase 2
Test inotuzumab, blinatumomab, and possibly ponatinib for CD22 ALL
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of medicines (inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab), with or without ponatinib, for people with CD22-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It aims to improve remission and control leukemia cells, including in the bone marrow.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06672146RecruitingPhase 2
New treatments for AML with an IDH2 mutation
This trial tests new treatments for people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has a change in the IDH2 gene. It aims to find a better option for those who cannot have standard high-dose chemotherapy.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 6–39 - NCT05476770RecruitingPhase 1
Tagraxofusp for children with CD123-positive leukemia
This study tests tagraxofusp, a medicine that targets a marker called CD123 on cancer cells, in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or is resistant to treatment.
