- 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.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18–39 - NCT04929899Recruiting
Test of a learning tool during leukemia maintenance
This study checks whether a tablet-based tool (called PeNAT) can be used by children during the usual maintenance treatment phase for ALL (a type of leukemia). It may help families and clinicians better support care at home or during follow-up by testing how well the tool works in real patients.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 4–18 - NCT07516093RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drugs for advanced CLL or SLL
This trial tests whether NX-5948 is more effective than pirtobrutinib for people with CLL or SLL whose disease has gotten worse after an earlier BTK inhibitor treatment. It aims to find a better option for those who have already tried one type of therapy.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 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.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges Up to 26 years - NCT05475925RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug DR-01 for specific blood cancer types

Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07168486Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
CAR T-cells targeting CD19, CD20, and CD22 for lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of CAR T-cell therapy that targets three proteins (CD19, CD20, and CD22) on lymphoma cells. It's for people with B-cell lymphomas that have come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06484062RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cirtuvivint alone and with ASTX727 for leukemia and MDS
This trial tests a new drug called cirtuvivint, given alone or with another drug (ASTX727), for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) that has come back or not responded to treatment, and for people with high-risk MDS who have not been treated before. The goal is to see if these combinations work better than current options.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06943872RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing new treatments for relapsed CLL or SLL
This study tests a combination of sonrotoclax plus obinutuzumab or rituximab versus the current standard venetoclax plus rituximab for people whose CLL or SLL has come back or not responded to previous treatment. The goal is to see which approach helps keep the cancer from growing longer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06398457RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Darzalex Before Stem Cell Transplant for High-Risk Graft Failure
This trial tests giving a drug called Darzalex Faspro before the usual desensitization and a stem cell transplant for people at high risk of graft failure due to donor-specific antibodies. The goal is to prevent the transplant from failing.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04050280RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an antibody drug for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This trial studies a drug called CLAG-GO (an antibody with chemotherapy drugs attached) in adults with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It aims to improve outcomes for people whose leukemia is persistent, relapsed, or refractory.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07223814RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug with standard chemo for AML
This trial adds an experimental drug called bleximenib to the usual chemotherapy for people newly diagnosed with AML who have certain genetic changes (NPM1 or KMT2A). The goal is to see if adding this drug helps the treatment work better.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05886049RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a menin drug with standard chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This early-phase study tests a menin inhibitor drug (SNDX-5613) combined with standard induction chemotherapy (daunorubicin plus cytarabine) in newly diagnosed AML with specific gene changes (NPM1 or FLT3 status, or MLL/KMT2A or NUP98). It may help patients whose AML has these genetic features respond better to intensive treatment.

Ziftomenib with AML medicines for NPM1- or KMT2A-mutated leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and tolerable ziftomenib is when combined with standard AML medicines (like venetoclax and azacitidine, and other chemo options) in people with AML. It’s for AML patients who have specific genetic changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) and helps doctors find the best, safest dose plan.
