GroningenAges 18–39 - NCT05082519RecruitingPhase 2
Calorie reduction and activity to help chemo work in B-ALL
This Phase 2 study tests whether eating fewer calories and doing activity safely can make chemotherapy work better for children and young adults with newly diagnosed B-ALL. It aims to reduce chemo resistance, meaning help leukemia respond more strongly to treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 10–25 - NCT05101551RecruitingPhase 1
Talazoparib with chemotherapy for relapsed childhood AML
This Phase 1 study tests whether talazoparib combined with chemotherapy is safe and potentially effective for children and young adults whose leukemia has come back or did not respond. It focuses on finding the best way to give the treatment and watching for side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05108298Recruiting
Study to improve cancer survey reporting for young adults
This study focuses on collecting better self-reported information (from questionnaires) from young adults with cancer. It may help improve how future cancer trials understand symptoms and quality-of-life needs.
Fairbanks, AlaskaAges 18–39 - NCT05127148Recruiting
Real-world study of pediatric-like treatment for Ph-negative ALL
This study follows how well a “pediatric-style” treatment plan works in teens and young adults with Ph-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in real-world care. It mainly aims to understand outcomes and safety for patients who fit the specific leukemia and health criteria.
Paraná, Entre Ríos ProvinceAges 18–40 - NCT05131022RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NX-5948 for relapsed B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests NX-5948 in adults whose B-cell cancers have come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the treatment works in different types of B-cell malignancies.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05133882RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a targeted pill with chemotherapy for newly diagnosed AML
This study tests clifutinib (a targeted medicine) combined with chemotherapy in people newly diagnosed with AML. It aims to see if this combination is safer and more effective, including in older adults and people who may not tolerate strong chemotherapy.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05147467RecruitingPhase 2
Trial of APG-2575 for returning or resistant CLL/SLL
This trial studies APG-2575 in people with CLL/SLL that has come back or is not responding to prior treatments. It may help shrink disease and improve control when standard options have stopped working.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05168930RecruitingPhase 2
Zanubrutinib plus venetoclax for relapsed CLL or SLL
This Phase 2 study tests how well zanubrutinib (a targeted pill) combined with venetoclax (another targeted pill) works for adults with CLL/SLL that came back or progressed after prior treatment. It may help by stopping cancer cells through two different pathways, aiming to shrink disease and improve blood counts.
Scarborough, MaineAges 18 years+ - NCT05190653Recruiting
Support during stem cell or CAR T cancer treatment
This study tests whether starting palliative and supportive care early (alongside cancer treatment) can improve comfort and support for people having stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy. It may also help family caregivers by offering support during a difficult treatment period.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05197192RecruitingPhase 3
New treatment for high-risk CLL using two medicines plus chemo-free pills
This trial tests whether adding acalabrutinib to obinutuzumab plus venetoclax works better than the standard combo (obinutuzumab plus venetoclax) for people with untreated, high-risk CLL. It’s designed to see if the stronger mix can improve control of the leukemia with an acceptable safety profile.
Bad SaarowAges 18–120 - NCT05237986Recruiting
Study brain and thinking effects after CAR T therapy in youth
