Early vs delayed treatment for high-risk CLL: cost study
This study compares early treatment versus delaying treatment in newly diagnosed people with high-risk CLL/SLL who feel well. It mainly looks at the overall “costs and value” of each approach and asks patients to complete short health and quality-of-life questionnaires.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04010877RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T therapy for AML targeting leukemia markers
This early-phase trial tests a personalized immune treatment (CAR-T cells) that targets certain markers found on AML (acute myeloid leukemia) cells. It aims to see if the treatment can help people whose leukemia has specific marker patterns.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 6 months–75 years - NCT04016129RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T therapy for certain B-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a lab-made immune therapy called CAR-T that targets specific markers on B-cell leukemia/lymphoma cells. It may help people whose cancer has returned or did not respond after earlier CD19 CAR-T, by attacking the cancer cells using added targeting.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 6 months–75 years - NCT04068597RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing inobrodib for blood cancers that came back
This is an early-stage study of inobrodib (CCS1477) for blood cancers like lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or acute myeloid leukemia that have returned or did not respond to standard treatment. It aims to see whether the drug is safe and can help control the cancer.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04094311RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a modified cell therapy when product quality is off-spec
This study looks at using tisagenlecleucel, a cell therapy, when the final product does not meet routine “commercial release” quality standards. It focuses on whether it can still be given safely and effectively to people with serious or life-threatening illness.
Hamilton, OntarioAges birth–100 years - NCT04099966RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant to treat high-risk blood cancers
This trial tests a specialized donor stem cell transplant to treat high-risk problems in the blood and bone marrow, including some cancers and non-cancers. It may help by using donor immune cells designed to better control the disease after transplant.
Valhalla, New YorkAges 1 day–30 years - NCT04168502RecruitingPhase 3
Gemtuzumab added to chemotherapy for certain adult AML
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding gemtuzumab to standard chemotherapy helps people with newly diagnosed, favorable-intermediate AML reduce “MRD” (very small remaining leukemia cells). If MRD levels drop more, it may lower the chance of relapse.
AlessandriaAges 18–60 - NCT04179929Recruiting
Study for adults with Ph-negative ALL
This trial looks at how to treat a type of leukemia called Ph-negative ALL in adults. It may help people by testing a treatment approach specifically for this leukemia subtype.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18–60 - NCT04186520RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell treatment for hard-to-treat B-cell lymphomas
This trial studies a type of lab-made immune cell therapy (CAR T) using cells called CAR-20/19-T. It is for adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers, aiming to reduce or eliminate lymphoma in people whose disease has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–80 - NCT04227015RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of a CD19 CAR T-cell treatment for relapsed leukemia
This early-phase trial tests an injected “CAR T” cell therapy made to attack CD19-positive blood cancers that have come back or did not respond. If you qualify, the study checks whether the treatment can help control the cancer and is safe enough to study further.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3–70 - NCT04275518RecruitingPhase 1
Trial for relapsed leukemia or risky MDS with new drug
This Phase 1 study tests APG-115 alone or with azacitidine or cytarabine in people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk MDS has come back or hasn’t responded. The goal is to see safety and whether the treatment can work for these conditions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04282187RecruitingPhase 2
Decitabine plus targeted drugs for advanced blood cancer blast phase
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding decitabine to one of three targeted medicines (ruxolitinib, fedratinib, or pacritinib) can improve outcomes in people with advanced myeloproliferative neoplasms that are progressing to a blast phase. It may help control the disease by combining blood-cancer chemotherapy with drugs that block disease-driving signaling.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04290000Recruiting
