Recruiting studies in New Jersey
- NCT06973187RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drugs for CLL or SLL after prior treatment
This trial tests a new drug (BGB-16673) against another drug (pirtobrutinib) for people with CLL or SLL that hasn't responded to or has come back after a prior BTK inhibitor treatment. The goal is to see which drug is more effective and safe.
East Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 1 year–46 years - NCT07321652RecruitingPhase 3
Sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib for untreated CLL or SLL
This trial tests whether adding a new drug, sonrotoclax, to the standard treatment zanubrutinib works better for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who haven't had treatment before. It's for patients aged 65 and older who need therapy due to symptoms or blood cell issues.
Cherry Hill, New JerseyAges 65 years+ - NCT06672146RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 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.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06852222RecruitingPhase 3
Study of bleximenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine for newly diagnosed AML
This trial tests a new drug combination (bleximenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine) for people with a specific genetic type of AML who cannot receive strong chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination is safer and more effective.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 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.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07354074RecruitingPhase 2
Study of asciminib for children with Ph+ CML
This trial tests an oral medication called asciminib in children and teens with a type of leukemia called Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML). It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for patients who are newly diagnosed or whose current treatment has stopped working or caused side effects.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 1–18 - NCT04256317RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
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.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 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.
Newark, New JerseyAges 1–30 - NCT04895436RecruitingPhase 2
Oral venetoclax plus IV obinutuzumab after prior CLL treatment
This trial tests whether adding oral venetoclax together with an IV antibody called obinutuzumab can control CLL when the disease comes back after a specific prior treatment. It also looks closely at side effects to see what changes in “disease activity” and safety to expect.
Florham Park, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05010005RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ruxolitinib plus duvelisib for relapsed T-cell lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests how safe and effective ruxolitinib plus duvelisib are in adults with certain types of mature T-cell lymphomas. You may be considered if your lymphoma has come back or worsened despite prior treatment, and the study checks whether this pill combination can help control the disease.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05183035RecruitingPhase 3
Venetoclax for relapsed childhood AML
This trial studies venetoclax in children and young adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back. It aims to see how well this treatment controls the leukemia after earlier therapies.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 4 weeks–21 years - NCT05546580RecruitingPhase 1
Testing iadademstat plus gilteritinib for relapsed AML with FLT3 mutation
This Phase 1 study tests whether a new drug called iadademstat, combined with gilteritinib, can help people with relapsed or refractory AML that has certain FLT3 mutations. It’s mainly looking to find a safe dose and see early signs of effectiveness.
Piscataway, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05748197RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ADCLEC.syn1 for relapsed or resistant AML
This Phase 1 study tests ADCLEC.syn1, a new treatment made from a patient’s immune cells, in adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see how safe it is and how well it may work, especially after standard treatments have not helped.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05756777RecruitingPhase 1
Gilteritinib plus other IDH medicine for relapsed AML
This Phase 1 study tests how well gilteritinib works when combined with either ivosidenib or enasidenib in adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It targets specific genetic changes in the leukemia and may help shrink or control the cancer when standard options haven’t worked.
Montvale, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06419634RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combo for returning AML or MDS
This study tests a new drug (BMS-986497) alone or combined with two other medicines (azacitidine and venetoclax) for people with AML or MDS that has not responded to or returned after prior treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06561360RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two treatments for hairy cell leukemia
This study tests whether a combination of targeted drugs (vemurafenib and obinutuzumab) works better than a standard chemo-immunotherapy combination (cladribine and rituximab) for people newly diagnosed with hairy cell leukemia. If you have the BRAF V600E mutation and meet blood count criteria, you may be eligible to join.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06773208RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine and venetoclax for people with AML in remission
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, azacitidine and venetoclax, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have achieved remission after initial chemotherapy but still have tiny amounts of leukemia cells left (measurable residual disease). The goal is to see if this treatment can clear those remaining cells before a stem cell transplant.
Montvale, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07271667RecruitingPhase 2
Study of emavusertib with zanubrutinib for CLL and other B-cell cancers
This trial combines an experimental drug, emavusertib, with zanubrutinib (a standard targeted therapy) for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or other B-cell cancers. It aims to see if the combination can improve response in patients who still have some disease despite taking zanubrutinib or whose disease has worsened on it.
Florham Park, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07392242RecruitingPhase 2
Ivosidenib, azacitidine, and venetoclax for acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a combination of three targeted drugs for people with a specific type of AML that has an IDH1 mutation. The goal is to see if the combination helps control the leukemia and if continuing with just ivosidenib can keep it in remission.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 60 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.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT07400029RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 40 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.

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.
