Leukemia clinical trials in Milwaukee

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.

CAR T-cell treatment for hard-to-treat B-cell lymphomas

This trial studies a type of lab-made immune cell therapy (CAR T) using cells called CAR-20/19-T. It is for adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers, aiming to reduce or eliminate lymphoma in people whose disease has come back or not responded to standard treatments.

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.

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.

Venetoclax and HMA Treatment of Older and Unfit Adults With FLT3 Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (A MyeloMATCH Treatment Trial)

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.

Cryopreserved cord blood access program for transplant patients

This trial studies an organized way to obtain and distribute unlicensed (not FDA-approved for general use) stored cord blood units that have been frozen and kept. It may help people who need a cord blood transplant but don’t fit the “licensed cord blood only” options.

Dexrazoxane study to monitor heart damage in cancer survivors

This study tests dexrazoxane (DRZ) to see how it affects blood and heart-related “biomarkers,” or measurable signs of heart damage, after cancer treatment. It mainly targets survivors who may be at risk for cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness) or related heart failure.

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.

AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials

This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.

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.

Comparing chemotherapy options for newly diagnosed AML in young patients

This trial compares standard chemotherapy with newer drug combinations (CPX-351 and gilteritinib) for children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer. It aims to find which treatment works better and who might benefit from targeted therapy based on specific genetic changes (FLT3 mutations).

Blinatumomab with or without nivolumab for first relapse ALL

This study compares blinatumomab alone versus blinatumomab plus nivolumab in young people whose B-cell ALL has returned for the first time. It aims to see whether adding nivolumab improves control of the leukemia after relapse.

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.

Donor immune cell treatment after transplant for high-risk AML

This trial tests an additional immune therapy made from donor natural killer (NK) cells given around the time of a special stem cell transplant for children and young adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to help prevent the leukemia from coming back or not responding after transplant.

Continued asciminib treatment for certain leukemia patients

This trial lets people who already have Philadelphia chromosome–positive (Ph+) leukemia and are benefiting from asciminib (or certain related medicines) continue treatment. It mainly tests whether ongoing care in a follow-on study is safe and workable for participants.

Treating intermediate-risk AML in younger adults

This trial compares three different drug combinations for younger adults (18-59) with intermediate-risk AML. You will be assigned to one of three groups: standard chemotherapy (cytarabine + daunorubicin), that same chemotherapy plus venetoclax, or venetoclax combined with azacitidine.

Study of NX-5948 for relapsed B-cell blood cancers

This Phase 1 study tests NX-5948 in adults whose B-cell cancers have come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the treatment works in different types of B-cell malignancies.

Venetoclax plus chemo to change cancer cell behavior

This Phase 1 trial tests whether venetoclax, combined with chemotherapy and a “cancer cell behavior” medicine strategy, can improve treatment for people with AML that has come back or not gone into remission. It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs of benefit.

Long-term follow-up after prior Caribou treatment

This study checks your health over time after you previously took a Caribou medicine (or got it through a special access program). It helps researchers learn what happens in the longer run after the treatment.

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. It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies have not worked.

Testing an investigational drug for mature B-cell cancers

This early (Phase 1) study tests SGR-1505, an experimental treatment, in people with certain mature B-cell cancers. It’s mainly designed to see how the drug works in the body and to check safety, and it may offer an option if standard treatments aren’t enough.

Docirbrutinib for CLL or lymphoma after prior treatments

This Phase 1 study tests docirbrutinib, a targeted pill treatment, in people with CLL/SLL or certain other B-cell lymphomas that have come back or didn’t respond to earlier therapy. The goal is to see whether it’s safe and whether it can control the disease after standard treatments have failed.

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.
