Recruiting studies in Maryland
- 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 6–39 - NCT05849662RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Trametinib plus azacitidine for newly diagnosed JMML
This trial studies whether trametinib and azacitidine can control juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) soon after diagnosis. It’s designed to test safety and how well the treatment works in children and young adults who meet specific leukemia and genetic criteria.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1 month–21 years - NCT06311227RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax for relapsed hairy cell leukemia
This trial tests a targeted pill called venetoclax for people whose hairy cell leukemia has returned after other treatments. It aims to see if venetoclax can help control the disease and improve blood counts.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06398457RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Darzalex Before Stem Cell Transplant for High-Risk Graft Failure
This trial tests giving a drug called Darzalex Faspro before the usual desensitization and a stem cell transplant for people at high risk of graft failure due to donor-specific antibodies. The goal is to prevent the transplant from failing.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06824168RecruitingPhase 2
Quizartinib maintenance for FLT3-ITD AML in remission
This trial tests two different doses of an oral targeted pill called quizartinib (a FLT3 inhibitor) to keep AML with a FLT3-ITD mutation in remission after initial chemo. If you are in first complete remission and haven't had a transplant, this might be an option to lower the chance of relapse.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07071155RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Momelotinib with a hypomethylating agent for certain blood cancers
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, momelotinib and a hypomethylating agent, for people with certain slow-growing blood cancers. If you have a diagnosis like chronic myelomonocytic leukemia or chronic neutrophilic leukemia and have an enlarged spleen, this study might be exploring a new treatment option for you.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT04050280RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an antibody drug for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This trial studies a drug called CLAG-GO (an antibody with chemotherapy drugs attached) in adults with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It aims to improve outcomes for people whose leukemia is persistent, relapsed, or refractory.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01087333Recruiting
Share blood samples to help study blood cancers and treatments
This study collects human samples (like blood or other specimens) to learn more about hairy cell leukemia and other leukemias. It also helps researchers develop new lab-made immune-based medicines for cancer treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02390752RecruitingPhase 1
Early drug study for children and young adults with hard-to-treat cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests pexidartinib (TURALIO) to see how safe it is and how well it works against refractory (hard-to-treat) leukemias and solid tumors, including tumors seen with NF1 and MPNST. It mainly helps researchers learn the best way to dose the medication and gather early signals of benefit.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–35 - NCT06846671RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for CLL or SLL
This trial tests a new investigational drug, BGB-16673, for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have already tried two types of treatments (BTK and BCL2 inhibitors). The goal is to see if this new drug works better than other available treatments chosen by the doctor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 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.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03013998RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Biomarker-guided treatment study for older adults with AML
This trial studies whether choosing treatment based on lab test “biomarkers” (specific genetic or blood markers) can help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It focuses on adults who are not good candidates for the most intensive chemotherapy, and it uses different sub-studies for different AML types.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06803745Recruiting
Comparing two radiation doses for leukemia transplant
This trial tests whether a lower or higher dose of total body irradiation works better for people with acute leukemia getting a stem cell transplant for the first time. It aims to find the safest and most effective radiation level to prepare your body for the transplant.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Any age - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1 year–46 years - NCT06317649RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax and HMA for older adults with FLT3-mutated AML
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (venetoclax and a hypomethylating agent) plus a targeted FLT3 inhibitor for older or frail patients with a specific genetic change in their acute myeloid leukemia. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective without using the strongest chemotherapy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05645107RecruitingPhase 3
XEMBIFY plus usual care to prevent infections
This Phase 3 study tests whether XEMBIFY (an immune protein therapy) plus standard medical treatment can better prevent serious or repeated infections. It is for people with certain cancers of blood/immune systems who are already having trouble with infections.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04093570Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Extension study for people continuing ASTX727 from a prior trial
This study checks whether continuing ASTX727 for people who already benefited from it in an earlier Taiho study is safe and effective. It may be an option if you stayed on ASTX727 at the end of your parent study and your doctor felt it was helping you.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04322383RecruitingPhase 2
Binimetinib for relapsed or refractory hairy cell leukemia
This trial tests a drug called binimetinib in people with a type of leukemia that has come back or not responded to treatment. It is for those whose cancer cells do not have a BRAF mutation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07091019Recruiting
CML patient experience study on standard TKI therapy
This study tracks the experiences and health outcomes of people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are taking approved first or second line tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) medicines. It helps doctors learn how these treatments work in everyday care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT03986034RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax study in relapsed CLL using early tumor tracking

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–85 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT04546399RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1–30 - NCT05546580RecruitingPhase 1
Testing iadademstat plus gilteritinib for relapsed AML with FLT3 mutation

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.
