- 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05131022RecruitingPhase 1
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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07223814RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug with standard chemo for AML
This trial adds an experimental drug called bleximenib to the usual chemotherapy for people newly diagnosed with AML who have certain genetic changes (NPM1 or KMT2A). The goal is to see if adding this drug helps the treatment work better.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04972942RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy for high-risk T-cell blood cancers after transplant

San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 6 months–21 years - NCT06520098RecruitingPhase 2
BTK inhibitor with or without venetoclax for CLL/SLL
This trial tests whether adding venetoclax to your current BTK inhibitor (like ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, or zanubrutinib) works better than taking the BTK inhibitor alone. It's for veterans with CLL or SLL who have been on a BTK inhibitor for at least six months and have not had their disease get worse on that therapy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT04726241RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing blood and bone marrow samples in young leukemia patients
This trial looks at blood and bone marrow samples from children and teens whose leukemia has come back or is hard to treat. The goal is to better understand the disease and guide future options for these patients.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Up to 22 years - NCT06366789RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for AML with FLT3 or spliceosome mutations

San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06652438RecruitingPhase 3
Revumenib plus standard drugs for NPM1 or KMT2A AML
This trial tests adding a new targeted drug, revumenib, to two standard AML medicines (azacitidine and venetoclax) for adults with a specific gene change (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) who cannot receive strong chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination works better.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00736749Recruiting
Long-term health check for childhood cancer survivors
This trial tracks the long-term health of people who took part in previous Children's Oncology Group studies. It helps doctors understand the lasting effects of cancer treatment and improve care for survivors.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–39 - NCT03719105RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Chemo plus immunotherapy with donor stem cell transplant for NK lymphoma

It may help by targeting leukemia cells more directly, but participation depends on specific age, lab results, and medical history rules.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 12 months–25 years - NCT06247787RecruitingPhase 1

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.
