Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT04708054RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Venetoclax with busulfan chemo for high-risk AML or MDS
This study tests whether adding venetoclax to a specific busulfan-based chemotherapy plan improves outcomes for people with high-risk AML or MDS. It mainly targets patients whose leukemia/marrow disease still has high-risk features or measurable disease after initial treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT04659616RecruitingPhase 1
Pemigatinib after standard chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This Phase 1 trial studies whether adding pemigatinib after standard “7+3” chemotherapy can improve outcomes in certain newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the drug works in a very specific AML genetic group.
Dallas, TexasAges 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.
Lubbock, TexasAges 1–30 - 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03829540RecruitingPhase 1
CD4 CAR T therapy for certain CD4+ blood cancers
This early-phase (Phase 1) study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (CD4 CAR T) for people with CD4+ leukemia or lymphoma that has come back or did not respond to standard treatment. The goal is to check safety and see how well the treatment works.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT03589729RecruitingPhase 2
Dexrazoxane to help protect the heart during blood-cancer chemo
This Phase 2 study tests dexrazoxane, a heart-protecting medicine, to reduce heart side effects from chemotherapy in people with certain blood cancers. If you qualify, you would receive dexrazoxane along with chemotherapy, and the team will monitor your heart function closely.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT03586609RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for older adults with untreated AML
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of venetoclax, cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and azacitidine in people with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It may help shrink the leukemia and improve blood counts by trying a stronger, multi-drug approach.
Houston, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT03571321RecruitingPhase 1
Ruxolitinib plus chemotherapy for Ph-like B-ALL
This early-phase study tests whether adding ruxolitinib (a targeted medicine) to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes in adolescents and young adults with newly diagnosed Ph-like B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It targets specific genetic features (“JAK-targetable signature”) thought to make the leukemia more responsive to JAK-blocking treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–39 - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT03113643RecruitingPhase 1
SL-401 with standard drugs for hard-to-treat blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests SL-401, given with azacitidine and sometimes venetoclax, to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the combination can improve blood cancer control.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02877303RecruitingPhase 2
Frontline drug treatment for newly diagnosed B-cell leukemia
This trial tests a combination of targeted and chemotherapy medicines as first treatment for newly diagnosed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or related lymphoblastic lymphoma. It aims to improve how well treatment controls the leukemia and how long people can stay in remission.
Houston, TexasAges 14 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.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT01515527RecruitingPhase 2
Cladribine plus low-dose cytarabine and decitabine for AML or MDS
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy plan (cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and decitabine) for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to shrink the leukemia/MDS and improve outcomes, including for certain people who may not tolerate standard treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 60 years+ - NCT01409161RecruitingPhase 2
Tretinoin and arsenic drugs for newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia
This trial studies how well a combination of tretinoin (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO)—with or without another antibody-like drug called gemtuzumab—treats people with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The goal is to see if these medicines work better together and are safe.
Houston, TexasAges 10 years+ - NCT01853631RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for CD19-positive B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized form of immune therapy called CAR T cells that are designed to recognize CD19, a marker on certain B-cell cancers. It may help people with difficult-to-treat (recurrent or relapsed) B-cell lymphoma or leukemia (ALL/CLL).
Houston, TexasAges Up to 75 years - NCT00501826RecruitingPhase 2
Check nelarabine plus chemotherapy for T-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy with nelarabine in people with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. It may help by improving remission in newly diagnosed or certain previously treated patients whose disease did not respond after one initial treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT00816114Recruiting
Chart review for CML patients previously treated with certain pills
This study reviews existing medical records of people with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) who were treated with specific FDA-approved targeted tablets (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) at MD Anderson but not on an MD Anderson clinical trial. It may help the hospital understand how these medicines are used in real-world care.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05986240RecruitingPhase 1
Danvatirsen plus venetoclax for advanced blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug called danvatirsen, first alone and then with venetoclax, for people with advanced acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00736749Recruiting
Long-term health check for childhood cancer survivors
This trial tracks the long-term health of people who took part in previous Children's Oncology Group studies. It helps doctors understand the lasting effects of cancer treatment and improve care for survivors.
Austin, TexasAges Any age - NCT07424833RecruitingPhase 1
Study of APG-3288 for Relapsed/Refractory Blood Cancers
This trial is testing a new drug called APG-3288 for people with certain relapsed or treatment-resistant blood cancers (like CLL/SLL, DLBCL, MCL, WM, MZL, or FL). You may qualify if you've tried at least 2 prior treatments and are looking for a new option.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04502394RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Investigational drug combo for relapsed blood cancer
This trial combines two investigational drugs to see if they are safe and effective for patients with two types of blood cancer: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has come back or stopped responding to standard treatments. It may offer a new option when other treatments have not worked.

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.
