Recruiting studies in Wisconsin
- 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.
La Crosse, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06917911RecruitingPhase 2
Adding Venetoclax or Gemtuzumab to Chemotherapy for CBF-AML
This study tests adding a targeted drug (venetoclax or gemtuzumab ozogamicin) to standard chemotherapy for a specific type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) called core binding factor (CBF)-AML. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
La Crosse, WisconsinAges 18–59 - 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.
Green Bay, WisconsinAges 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.
Ashland, WisconsinAges 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.
Ashland, WisconsinAges 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.
Appleton, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT03418038RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin C with chemotherapy for certain relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests whether intravenous vitamin C (ascorbic acid) added to chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with certain relapsed or treatment-resistant lymphomas or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). It may help by boosting chemotherapy’s effectiveness and/or changing how the cancer responds.
Eau Claire, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04150497RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cell therapy for CD22-positive leukemia
This trial tests UCART22, a new cell-based treatment, for people with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has the CD22 marker. It may help by attacking leukemia cells that carry CD22.
Madison, WisconsinAges 15–50 - 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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 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.
Madison, WisconsinAges 1–30 - NCT04746209RecruitingPhase 2
Blinatumomab after transplant for high-risk B-ALL patients
This trial tests blinatumomab, an immune therapy, in young people with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) after their transplant or when they are getting ready for transplant. The goal is to lower the chance of the leukemia coming back by targeting remaining leukemia cells.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Up to 25 years - NCT04785989Recruiting
Blood and marrow testing to study metabolism in CLL
This study measures how your body’s metabolism works in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It uses blood tests, and for some people, a bone marrow sample, to better understand what’s happening and potentially guide future treatments.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04835584RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing KRT-232 with a TKI for CML that didn’t respond
This trial studies a new drug (KRT-232) combined with a standard CML “TKI” medicine to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) that is resistant or not tolerated after at least one prior TKI. It may help people whose leukemia hasn’t controlled as expected on current treatments.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04838041RecruitingPhase 2
Testing stopping treatment after asciminib for CML relapse
This trial looks at whether people with chronic-phase CML who tried stopping a prior CML medicine and had to restart can later stop treatment again after a set period using asciminib. It checks whether you can stay in a deep remission (“free remission” without the usual CML tablets).
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04877522RecruitingPhase 4
Continued asciminib treatment for certain leukemia patients
This trial lets people who already have Philadelphia chromosome–positive (Ph+) leukemia and are benefiting from asciminib (or certain related medicines) continue treatment. It mainly tests whether ongoing care in a follow-on study is safe and workable for participants.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 7–100 - 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.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05317403RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax plus chemo to change cancer cell behavior
This Phase 1 trial tests whether venetoclax, combined with chemotherapy and a “cancer cell behavior” medicine strategy, can improve treatment for people with AML that has come back or not gone into remission. It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs of benefit.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 1–25 - 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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07218510RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax, obinutuzumab, then epcoritamab for untreated CLL/SLL
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have not had treatment yet. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the disease with fewer side effects.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 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.
Ashland, WisconsinAges 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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Any age - NCT02508038RecruitingPhase 1
Test CD19+ depleted donor transplant for hard childhood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a special type of half-matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant plus medicines, aiming to reduce cancer relapse after transplant. It may help children and teens with certain leukemia/lymphoma or specific solid tumors who do not have a fully matched donor or whose best options are limited.
Madison, WisconsinAges 7 months–21 years - NCT02646839Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing a gene-matched transplant approach for childhood leukemia
This trial studies a specific type of partially matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant in children with ALL, AML, or MDS. It looks at whether using certain immune system gene patterns (KIR) and measuring leftover disease after treatment can improve outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Up to 21 years - NCT04836390Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Donor immune cell treatment after transplant for high-risk AML
This trial tests an additional immune therapy made from donor natural killer (NK) cells given around the time of a special stem cell transplant for children and young adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to help prevent the leukemia from coming back or not responding after transplant.

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.
