- NCT05800210RecruitingPhase 2
T cell and B cell immune “wipeout” after stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 trial studies whether removing certain immune cells (alpha/beta T cells and CD19+ B cells) around the time of a stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for people with high-risk blood cancers. It may help by reducing the immune responses that can interfere with the transplant working, while keeping the process safe.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 6 months–39 years - NCT05857969RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cancer drug response on removed tumor tissue
This early study uses tumor tissue (or bone marrow from blood cancers) and performs lab tests to see which cancer drugs may work better for each person. It also collects genetic information from blood or a saliva swab to help understand why cancers respond differently.
Miami, FloridaAges 1 day–21 years - NCT06059391RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine for stem cell donors to prevent CMV
This trial tests whether giving a CMV vaccine to stem cell donors can help protect recipients from CMV infection after transplant. It is for adults with specific blood cancers who are CMV-positive and have a matched related donor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06128070RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing GVHD after stem cell transplant for leukemia
This trial tests adding ruxolitinib to standard drugs (tacrolimus and methotrexate) to prevent graft-versus-host disease in children and young adults undergoing a stem cell transplant for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to lower the risk of GVHD and improve transplant outcomes.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 2–22 - NCT06131801Recruiting

Study of 3 drugs for young AML patients with genetic changes
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (revumenib, azacitidine, and venetoclax) for children and young adults with a hard-to-treat type of leukemia that has a specific genetic change. The goal is to see if this new mix can help when standard treatments have not worked.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT06191887RecruitingPhase 1
BAFFR-targeting CAR-T cells for relapsed B-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) that targets a protein called BAFFR on B-cell blood cancers. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors when given after a short chemotherapy course to prepare the body.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06195891RecruitingPhase 1
Orca-T stem cell transplant for older adults with blood cancer

The goal is to find the safest dose of imetelstat and see if it helps control the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–18 - NCT06287528RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T‑cell therapy with IL‑18 for returning B‑cell leukemia
This trial tests a new type of CAR T‑cell therapy that also makes an immune‑boosting protein called IL‑18. It is for people with B‑cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back or not gone away after standard treatments.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 17 years+ - NCT06355583RecruitingPhase 2
Gut bacteria transplant before stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether giving a transplant of healthy gut bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) before a stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for people with certain blood cancers or bone marrow disorders.
Birmingham, EnglandAges 18 years+ - NCT06372717RecruitingPhase 1
Testing APL-4098 alone or combined for AML or MDS
This trial tests a new drug called APL-4098, given alone or with another medicine, for people with certain blood cancers (AML or MDS) that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well.
Clayton, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06389305Recruiting
CIK cell therapy for B-cell leukemia after CAR-T failure
This trial tests CIK immune cells for children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that stopped responding to CAR-T cell therapy within 6 months. The goal is to see if CIK cells can help when CAR-T cells no longer work.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1–39 - NCT06399640RecruitingPhase 1
Eltanexor and Venetoclax for relapsed MDS or AML
This trial tests two oral drugs, eltanexor and venetoclax, for people with MDS or AML that came back or did not get better after prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06420076RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sequential CAR-T therapy for CD5/CD7 positive T-cell leukemia/lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (called CAR-T) that targets two proteins, CD5 and CD7, on the surface of T-cell leukemia or lymphoma cells. It may be an option for people whose cancer came back or didn't respond to standard treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 2–90 - NCT06429449RecruitingPhase 1
Mitoxantrone for venetoclax-resistant AML

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,323 recruiting leukemia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a leukemia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a leukemia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
