Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05143996RecruitingPhase 1
First study drug for relapsed AML or MDS
This Phase 1 trial tests CLN-049 in adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to find out how well the drug can work and how safe it is in people with limited options.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05512390RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug ABBV-319 in B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial studies ABBV-319 given by vein to see what side effects it causes and how the cancer activity changes in certain B-cell blood cancers. It may help people with relapsed or treatment-resistant disease by exploring new treatment options and better understanding how the drug moves through the body.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05848687RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Newborns with CD19 leukemia may try a combined infant therapy
This early-phase study is testing a “total therapy” treatment plan for very young babies (diagnosed within the first year of life) with certain types of leukemia that carry the CD19 marker. It may help find safer and more effective treatment for infants with this disease, especially soon after diagnosis.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges Up to 1 year - NCT05974150Recruiting
Remote symptom monitoring for several blood and cancer types
This study checks how well remote (at-home) symptom check-ins work for people with certain cancers. It may help patients and clinicians spot problems earlier and improve day-to-day care during treatment and beyond.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06382168RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
DFP-10917 plus venetoclax for AML that has returned or not improved

Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06428019RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing drug combinations for untreated CLL or SLL
This trial tests two different drug combinations (venetoclax with obinutuzumab or with acalabrutinib) to see how they affect the risk of tumor lysis syndrome in people with untreated CLL or SLL. It may help find the safest and most effective way to start treatment.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT06680752RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A car-t cell therapy trial for AML or MDS
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell therapy, ARD103, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back or is not responding to treatment. It aims to see if this therapy can help control the disease.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06697600Recruiting
Supporting decisions for older adults with AML and their caregivers
This study helps older adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and their caregivers make informed decisions about treatment. You and a caregiver (like a family member or friend) will get extra support to talk through your options.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 60 years+ - NCT06945042Recruiting
Financial help for adults with new AML starting chemo
This study is testing whether a financial navigation program can help adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are about to start or have just started intensive chemo. The goal is to see if providing money guidance reduces stress and improves their care.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–64 - 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–39 - 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.
Asheville, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT05554393RecruitingPhase 2
Treating intermediate-risk AML in younger adults
This trial compares three different drug combinations for younger adults (18-59) with intermediate-risk AML. You will be assigned to one of three groups: standard chemotherapy (cytarabine + daunorubicin), that same chemotherapy plus venetoclax, or venetoclax combined with azacitidine.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–59 - NCT07007312RecruitingPhase 3
Ziftomenib plus standard chemo for certain AML patients
This trial tests a new drug, ziftomenib, added to standard chemotherapy for adults with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have specific gene changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement). It aims to see if the combination works better than standard treatment alone.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05082519RecruitingPhase 2
Calorie restriction and exercise to improve leukemia treatment in young patients
This study tests whether a special diet (calorie restriction) and increased physical activity can make chemotherapy work better for young people with B-ALL. Participants will follow a monitored diet and exercise plan during their first month of treatment.

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.
