Recruiting studies near San Jose
- NCT07573111RecruitingPhase 1
QUAIL-100 for Children With Blood Cancers After Stem Cell Transplant
This study tests a new experimental treatment called QUAIL-100 in children and young adults who have had a stem cell transplant for a serious blood cancer. The treatment is designed to help the immune system fight remaining cancer cells.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1.5 years–39 years - NCT06943872RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing new treatments for relapsed CLL or SLL
This study tests a combination of sonrotoclax plus obinutuzumab or rituximab versus the current standard venetoclax plus rituximab for people whose CLL or SLL has come back or not responded to previous treatment. The goal is to see which approach helps keep the cancer from growing longer.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 12 months–25 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT07070219RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of CTD402 for T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests a new drug called CTD402 for people with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) that has come back or not gone away after treatment. The goal is to see if CTD402 can help reduce or eliminate the cancer cells in the bone marrow.

It’s designed to see which drug works better and is easier to take, especially for people with a specific genetic change in the cancer (17p deletion).
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06173518RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for children with B-cell leukemia or lymphoma

Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges birth–18 years - NCT07302776RecruitingPhase 1
Stopping immune suppression after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether it's safe to stop one type of anti-rejection medication (tacrolimus) earlier than usual after a stem cell transplant from a matched donor. If you qualify, you may be able to reduce your long-term medication burden.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04293562RecruitingPhase 3
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).
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 6 months–21 years - NCT05188170RecruitingPhase 1
Niclosamide for children and young adults with difficult leukemia
This Phase 1 study tests niclosamide, a medicine being studied as a new treatment, for pediatric and young adult AML that has come back or did not respond. It mainly focuses on whether the drug can be given safely and what dose might work best.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 2–30 - NCT06124157RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy plus chemo for children with Ph+ or Ph-like B-ALL
This trial tests if adding a targeted drug (dasatinib or imatinib) to a chemotherapy combination with blinatumomab works better for children and young adults with a specific genetic form of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal is to see if this approach can improve treatment outcomes for patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive or ABL-class Ph-like B-ALL.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1 year–46 years - 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 22 years - NCT06340737RecruitingPhase 1
CD22-targeting CAR T cells for relapsed B cell lymphoma
This trial tests whether giving modified immune cells (CAR T cells) that target CD22 on cancer cells can help people with certain B-cell lymphomas that have come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors or control the disease.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05978141Recruiting
T-cell lymphoma registry study
This study creates a registry for people with certain T-cell or NK-cell lymphomas. It collects health information and tumor samples to learn more about these diseases and improve future treatments.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT01351545Recruiting
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.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05237258Recruiting
Compare palliative care approaches for people with high-risk AML
This study tests a specialized (targeted) palliative care program versus usual oncology care for people hospitalized with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see if this palliative approach improves comfort, support, and care planning during intensive treatment.

Orca-Q pill to help during stem cell transplant
This Phase 1 trial studies Orca-Q to see if it is safe and works when added around the time of an allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplant for certain blood cancers. If you qualify, the study may offer a new option for managing the transplant immune response.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 12–78 - NCT00186147Enrolling by invitation
Bone marrow grafting for leukemia and lymphoma
This study involves bone marrow cell grafting for people affected by leukemia or lymphoma. You may be eligible if you are a transplant recipient or a donor and you freely choose to take part.

Obecabtagene autoleucel for B-cell ALL in remission
This trial tests a new cell therapy called obecabtagene autoleucel (a 'living drug' made from your own immune cells) for people with a type of blood cancer (B-cell ALL) that has responded to initial treatment but may still have tiny traces. The goal is to see if it can prevent relapse after remission.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT04996875RecruitingPhase 2
Bezuclastinib for advanced mast cell disease

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.
