Leukemia clinical trials in Maryland
We’re tracking 90 recruiting leukemia studies with a site in Maryland — including Early Phase 1, Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2, Phase 2/Phase 3 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- 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+ - NCT03226704Enrolling by invitation
Leukapheresis to prepare CAR cell therapy
This trial collects white blood cells through a procedure called leukapheresis to help make CAR or other adoptive cell therapies. It’s for people with certain cancers who are not in remission (or are at high risk of relapse) and can meet health and lab requirements.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–65 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–39 - NCT03013998RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Personalized treatment study for acute myeloid leukemia
This study matches people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to treatments based on their specific genetic markers. It aims to find the most effective therapy with fewer side effects compared to standard care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01790152Recruiting
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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Any age - NCT00923442Enrolling by invitation
Study of blood cancers’ biology using stored or new tissue
This trial studies how different blood cancers and early (pre-cancer) blood conditions work, using tumor/blood tissue samples. It may help researchers learn more about disease biology for future treatments, with little to no extra risk if samples come from routine care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–120 - NCT07499128Enrolling by invitation
Continuous temperature monitoring for cytokine release syndrome
This study tests a wearable device that continuously monitors your body temperature to detect cytokine release syndrome, a possible side effect of certain immunotherapies. The goal is to catch it early so you can get treatment faster.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07428707RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of pirtobrutinib in first-line CLL/SLL
This study tests a new oral medication called pirtobrutinib in people with previously untreated CLL or SLL. Researchers will collect blood and lymph node samples to understand how the immune system responds to the drug.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07342478RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two BTK inhibitors for CLL/SLL after prior treatment
This study compares two oral targeted therapies, rocbrutinib and pirtobrutinib, for people with CLL or SLL whose disease has come back or stopped responding after treatment with a covalent BTK inhibitor (like ibrutinib). The goal is to see which drug works better and has fewer side effects.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07328516Enrolling by invitation
Farm childhood health study for adult children
This study looks at how early-life exposures on farms might influence long-term health. If you are an adult child of a farmer or farmworker from the Agricultural Health Study, and you spent time on a farm as a child, you may be able to join.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT07221500RecruitingPhase 2
Study of NX-5948 for advanced CLL or SLL
This trial tests an experimental drug called NX-5948 for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back or not responded to prior treatments. It's for those who have already tried a BTK inhibitor and a BCL-2 inhibitor.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07168486Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
CAR T-cells targeting CD19, CD20, and CD22 for lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of CAR T-cell therapy that targets three proteins (CD19, CD20, and CD22) on lymphoma cells. It's for people with B-cell lymphomas that have come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07019155Recruiting
DDX41 gene study for families with cancer risk
This study looks at people and families who have changes in the DDX41 gene or similar genes that may increase the risk of cancer. By joining, you can help researchers learn more about these gene changes and how they affect health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–120 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06856226Recruiting
Drug metabolism study for stem cell transplant patients
This study looks at how your body processes medications after a stem cell transplant from a donor. It aims to find the best way to test your genes to improve future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06588478RecruitingPhase 2
Study of pirtobrutinib for CLL or SLL
This trial tests a new drug called pirtobrutinib for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It is for those whose cancer has come back or not responded to treatment, including a prior BTK inhibitor, and also for those who have never been treated but have a specific genetic change (17p deletion).

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.

Common questions
- Are there leukemia clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 90 recruiting leukemia studies with a site in Maryland, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a leukemia study in Maryland?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a leukemia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New leukemia studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
