Study of T cells during stem cell transplant for AML
This study looks at changes in your immune cells (T cells) in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are scheduled for a donor stem cell transplant. It may help doctors better understand how the immune system responds during and after transplant.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03999723RecruitingPhase 2
Test azacitidine with vitamin C to improve DNA changes
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining azacitidine (a standard blood cancer medicine) with vitamin C helps improve disease control by changing DNA activity in high-risk blood cancers. It may be an option if you have certain types of higher-risk MDS, CMML, or low-blast AML and can meet safety requirements.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06580002RecruitingPhase 2
Can Riluzole Help with Chemo Brain? A Pilot Study
This study tests if a medicine called riluzole (currently used for ALS) can help with 'chemo brain' – memory and thinking problems after cancer treatment. It is for people who feel their mental sharpness has declined after breast cancer therapy, certain chemotherapies, or brain radiation.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06289673RecruitingPhase 4
Collecting info to start treatment for new leukemia or lymphoma

San Diego, CaliforniaAges 1–18 - NCT04024761RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy for leukemia relapse after transplant
This Phase 1 study tests whether an infusion of special immune cells (NK cells) from a donor can help control leukemia or related blood cancers that come back or do not fully go away after a stem cell transplant. It also uses short chemotherapy to “make space” for the NK cells to work, and IL-2 to help them function.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT04028531Recruiting
Understanding chronic lymphocytic leukemia in clinic patients
This study aims to learn more about chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and closely related conditions. It may help researchers better understand who gets CLL and how it behaves over time, which can improve future care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04033302RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Multi-CAR T cell therapy for CD7-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (multi-CAR T cells) designed to target and kill cancer cells that have a marker called CD7. It may help people with certain blood cancers that have not responded well to other treatments.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 6 months–75 years - NCT04049539RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vyxeos for AML that stays after initial chemotherapy
This trial tests whether Vyxeos (a type of chemotherapy) can treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that did not fully go away after standard induction (“7+3”) chemotherapy. It targets people whose leukemia is still present in the bone marrow and need a stronger “re-induction” treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 15–50 - NCT04167696RecruitingPhase 1
Dose-finding drug study for AML or MDS after standard options fail
This Phase 1 trial tests CYAD-02 to find the safest and recommended dose for people with AML or MDS that has returned or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help if you have limited treatment options, but participation also requires meeting specific heart, lung, and lab safety requirements.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04209244Recruiting
Fish oil for cholesterol and side effects in ALL patients
This trial studies whether fish oil can improve cholesterol levels and reduce side effects in children and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who are in lower-risk groups. If you fit the risk category, you may be asked to add fish oil as part of the study to see if it helps your lab results and well-being.
AalborgAges 1–45 - NCT04243785RecruitingPhase 1
Testing BTX-A51 for hard-to-treat AML or high-risk MDS
This Phase 1 study tests BTX-A51 in adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It’s designed to see if the treatment can be given safely and to learn how it works in people whose standard treatments have not helped or are no longer an option.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04385290RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing midostaurin plus gemtuzumab for newly diagnosed AML
This trial studies whether combining two medicines—midostaurin and gemtuzumab (with standard chemotherapy)—can improve outcomes for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is testing a first-line treatment plan tailored to specific genetic changes in the leukemia.
München, BavariaAges 18–75 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–30 - NCT04581512RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety study of EP0042 for certain AML patients
This Phase 1/2 study tests how safe and tolerable EP0042 is, and looks at patients with a specific type of AML that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. You may be considered if your AML diagnosis is confirmed and your lab tests, overall health, and medication history fit the study rules.
Perth, Western AustraliaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT04678401RecruitingPhase 1
Trial tests transplant using a half-matched donor for high-risk leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests a special bone marrow transplant using a related “half-matched” donor (haploidentical), without a specific immune-suppressing medicine (“IS-free”). It’s for adults with certain high-risk AML or MDS to see if this approach can improve control of the disease while tracking safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT04684147RecruitingPhase 2
CNCT19 cell therapy for relapsed or refractory ALL
This Phase 2 study tests an infusion of modified immune cells (CNCT19) in people with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It may help by targeting leukemia cells that have a specific marker called CD19.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT04704323RecruitingPhase 1
CAP-100 drug study for hard-to-treat CLL after prior treatments
This early-phase (Phase 1) study tests CAP-100 in adults with CLL or SLL that has come back or did not respond to at least two previous treatments. The goal is to see how the drug works and whether it is safe enough to keep studying.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT04758975RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus rituximab plus ibrutinib for early CLL
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of three medicines to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has not been treated before and where the goal is to achieve very low remaining disease. It may help some people stay in remission longer, but eligibility depends on your age, organ function, and prior treatments.
Milan, MIAges 18–65 - NCT04771507RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing intermittent ibrutinib for advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This trial studies whether taking ibrutinib in a less continuous (“intermittent”) schedule can keep your chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) under control. It’s for people who have already received ibrutinib for at least 6 months and had a good early response, aiming to reduce treatment intensity while tracking safety and cancer control.
