Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT05401097RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus IDH-targeted pills for AML patients who can’t get intensive chemo
This Phase 2 trial tests different ways of using medicines that target IDH mutations (IDH-targeted treatment) plus venetoclax in people newly diagnosed with IDH-mutated AML. It’s designed for patients who cannot safely receive intensive induction chemotherapy, to see which approach works best and is tolerable.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05503134RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor immune cell treatment for relapsed or stubborn AML
This trial tests donated “natural killer (NK) cells,” a type of immune cell, in children and young adults with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It mainly looks at safety and also studies whether the treatment can help control the leukemia.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–24 - NCT05544019RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an investigational drug for mature B-cell cancers
This early (Phase 1) study tests SGR-1505, an experimental treatment, in people with certain mature B-cell cancers. It’s mainly designed to see how the drug works in the body and to check safety, and it may offer an option if standard treatments aren’t enough.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05602363RecruitingPhase 1
Docirbrutinib for CLL or lymphoma after prior treatments
This Phase 1 study tests docirbrutinib, a targeted pill treatment, in people with CLL/SLL or certain other B-cell lymphomas that have come back or didn’t respond to earlier therapy. The goal is to see whether it’s safe and whether it can control the disease after standard treatments have failed.
Maumee, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05865301Recruiting
Outcomes after approved immunotherapy for young blood cancer patients
This study looks at the real-world results of treating certain B-cell blood cancers in children and young adults with commercially available immunotherapy. It may help doctors better understand how these treatments work for patients after relapse or when they need additional therapy.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Up to 26 years - NCT06043674RecruitingPhase 2

This trial tests a drug called glofitamab, alone or combined with other drugs, for people whose chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) has changed into a faster-growing lymphoma (Richter's transformation). The goal is to see how well these treatments work and which combination might be best.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06129734RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Decitabine and venetoclax after stem cell transplant to prevent relapse
This study tests whether giving two drugs, decitabine and venetoclax, after a stem cell transplant can help keep your leukemia or MDS from coming back. It is for people whose disease is at high risk for relapse.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06466122RecruitingPhase 2
Pirtobrutinib plus Venetoclax for resistant CLL or SLL
This trial tests two oral targeted drugs—pirtobrutinib and venetoclax—for people with CLL or SLL whose disease has continued to grow despite taking a BTK inhibitor (such as ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, or zanubrutinib). The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer when a BTK inhibitor alone is no longer working.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06528301RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of UB-VV111 with or without rapamycin for B-cell cancers

Study of a drug combo for relapsed B-cell leukemia
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Venetoclax, and Dexamethasone) for children and young adults whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) has come back after treatment. It may help those whose leukemia has not responded to standard therapy or who have relapsed after a stem cell transplant or CAR-T therapy.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1–39 - NCT06876662RecruitingPhase 4
Continuing pirtobrutinib for CLL and lymphoma patients
This trial continues to give pirtobrutinib to people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or certain other lymphomas who were already in a previous study with this drug. It helps researchers keep track of long-term safety and how well the drug works over time.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06876649RecruitingPhase 4

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.
