- NCT06459024Recruiting
Master study for relapsed or hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia
This trial is for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back (relapsed) or is not responding to treatment (refractory). It tests different new treatments to find which ones work best.
AachenAges 6 years+ - NCT07763054Recruiting
Low-dose antifungal prevention for patients with low white blood cell counts
This trial tests a low dose of an antifungal medicine (liposomal amphotericin B) to prevent fungal infections in patients whose white blood cell counts are very low for more than a week. It may help patients who are at high risk for fungal infections and cannot take other antifungal drugs.
Hainan, HainanAges 18–75 - NCT07094750Recruiting
Comparing treatment intensities for less fit adults with AML
This study compares different treatment intensities for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are less able to handle strong chemotherapy. It aims to find the best approach for people with health issues like heart or lung problems that make standard chemo riskier.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06773936Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Adding asciminib to usual care for adults with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL
This trial tests if adding asciminib, a targeted pill, to standard treatment works better for adults newly diagnosed with a specific type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). It is for those who are older, or who cannot or choose not to have intensive chemotherapy.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06533579RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for CD19-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new gene therapy treatment for people with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma that have the CD19 marker and have not responded to other treatments. The therapy uses a virus to deliver a gene to target and kill cancer cells.

Early treatment check for high-risk CLL/SLL
This Phase 3 trial studies an early treatment approach for people with high-risk CLL or SLL who have not yet needed standard therapy. It aims to see if treating earlier can improve outcomes while keeping side effects manageable.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06735664RecruitingPhase 1

This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs for people with Richter's transformation, an aggressive lymphoma that can develop from CLL. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05873712RecruitingPhase 2
Zanubrutinib plus CAR-T for Richter syndrome
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of zanubrutinib (an oral medicine) and CAR-T cell therapy can treat Richter syndrome, a type of lymphoma that develops in people with CLL/SLL. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes after the disease comes back or doesn’t respond to prior treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05366218RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tafasitamab for kids with high-risk B-cell leukemia after relapse
This Phase 1/2 study tests tafasitamab in children and teens with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or did not respond. It is mainly for patients with specific high-risk leukemia changes and/or leukemia markers that stay after stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy.

Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06609928RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for children with relapsed AML that has FOLR1
This trial tests a special immune cell treatment (CAR T cells) that target a protein called FOLR1 found on some AML cells. It is for children aged 6 or younger whose leukemia has come back or not responded to treatment.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 6 years - NCT07270770RecruitingPhase 1
A New Drug BY002 for Relapsed Acute Leukemia with Genetic Changes
This phase 1 trial tests a new drug called BY002 for people with certain types of leukemia (AML, ALL, or MPAL) that have come back or not responded to treatment. It focuses on patients whose leukemia has a specific genetic change (KMT2A rearrangement or NPM1 mutation). The goal is to see if BY002 can help control the disease.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 16 years+ - NCT06641648RecruitingPhase 1
Donor NK cells with low-dose IL-2 for AML relapse after stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new treatment for patients whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back after a stem cell transplant. It uses immune cells from the original donor, combined with a low dose of a protein called IL-2, to try to fight the leukemia without causing severe side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT02872987Recruiting
Adult blood cancer registry study with stored samples
This study enrolls adults with certain blood cancers to better understand diagnosis, treatment choices, and outcomes. You may also be asked to provide or have tissue/blood samples saved so researchers can study what’s going on in the disease.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06871410RecruitingPhase 1
Engineered immune cells for relapsed or refractory AML
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy called CD83 CAR T cells for people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. These cells are designed to find and attack the leukemia cells while sparing healthy cells.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06317662RecruitingPhase 2
Adding venetoclax and blinatumomab to chemo for infant leukemia
This trial tests adding two newer medicines (venetoclax and blinatumomab) to standard chemotherapy for infants with a specific type of leukemia. The goal is to see if this combination helps more babies stay cancer-free.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 12 months - NCT04169737RecruitingPhase 2
Acalabrutinib and venetoclax for high-risk CLL or SLL
This trial tests whether acalabrutinib and venetoclax (with or without early obinutuzumab) can control chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It is mainly for people whose disease is high-risk, has come back, or did not respond to earlier treatment.

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.
