Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06543381RecruitingPhase 1
Olutasidenib for IDH1-mutated blood cancers after transplant
This trial tests a drug called olutasidenib for people with certain blood cancers (AML, MDS, or CMML) that have a specific IDH1 gene change. The goal is to see if it can help prevent relapse after a donor stem cell transplant.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06549790RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NMS-03597812 for relapsed or refractory AML
This study tests a new experimental drug (NMS-03597812) for adults with AML that has not responded to or has returned after other treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help control the leukemia.
Canton, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05091424RecruitingPhase 1
Mosunetuzumab with or without venetoclax for CLL
This Phase 1 study tests whether mosunetuzumab alone or with venetoclax is safe and effective for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that came back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help by controlling the CLL immune system response while also studying dosing and side effects.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06904482RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant with half-matched donor and cord blood
This trial tests a new way to do a stem cell transplant for people with hard-to-treat blood cancers. It combines a half-matched family donor (haploidentical) with a cord blood unit to help the transplant work better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06918431RecruitingPhase 2
Erwinia asparaginase with chemo for new ALL or LBL
This trial tests adding an asparaginase drug to standard chemotherapy for adults with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL). The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–54 - NCT06969430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Debio 1562M for relapsed or refractory AML
This trial tests a new drug called Debio 1562M for people with AML that has not responded to treatment or has come back. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can help fight the leukemia.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07108998RecruitingPhase 2
Epcoritamab as a follow-up treatment for CLL or SLL
This trial tests the drug epcoritamab as a consolidation therapy for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have had a partial response to a second-generation BTK inhibitor (with or without obinutuzumab) but still have detectable disease. The goal is to see if adding this treatment can lead to a deeper response and better outcomes.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07223021RecruitingPhase 3
Fludarabine dosing study for B-cell ALL
This study tests a different dose of the chemotherapy drug fludarabine before CAR T-cell therapy (tisagenlecleucel) for children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal is to see if the new dose works better at helping the body accept the CAR T cells while keeping side effects manageable.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1 year+ - NCT07249346RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing GVHD after stem cell transplant with three drugs
This trial tests a three-drug combination (cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and ruxolitinib) to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who have a matched donor and can tolerate high-dose chemotherapy.

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.
