Recruiting studies
- NCT05014165Recruiting
Cord blood study for leukemia with stored birth samples
This study looks at leukemia “genetic clues” using special stored samples, including cord blood saved at birth. It may help researchers better understand leukemia biology and how common mutations may show up early.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 25 years - NCT05046444Recruiting
Testing tricky blood cancer diagnoses with advanced DNA sequencing
This study uses advanced DNA sequencing to figure out unclear or unusual blood (hematologic) conditions when standard tests are not enough. It may help your care team reach a more accurate diagnosis by better understanding what’s driving your illness.
MunichAges 18–99 - NCT05105152RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for kids with CD33 AML that came back
This Phase 1 study tests a type of lab-made immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) made from your T cells to treat AML that has relapsed or not responded, as long as the cancer shows a marker called CD33. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can help control AML after it returns or resists standard therapy.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 30 years - NCT05190471RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for adults with AML that did not respond or returned
This Phase 1 study tests BP1002 in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is refractory (not responding) or relapsed (coming back). It’s early-stage, aiming to find a safe dose and see if the treatment can help people with limited options.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05237258Recruiting
Compare palliative care approaches for people with high-risk AML
This study tests a specialized (targeted) palliative care program versus usual oncology care for people hospitalized with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see if this palliative approach improves comfort, support, and care planning during intensive treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–120 - NCT05281809RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T-cell therapy made locally for B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests a locally manufactured CAR T-cell treatment for certain B-cell lymphomas and B-ALL that have limited treatment options left. It may help your immune system attack cancer cells that carry the CD19 marker, potentially as a bridge to transplant for some patients.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–79 - NCT05304377RecruitingPhase 1
Early trial drug for chronic-phase CML after prior treatments
This Phase 1 study tests ELVN-001 in people with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have had limited benefit or side effects from other CML medicines. It may help shrink leukemia activity safely and find the best dosing for people who still need treatment options.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05310591RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study anti-PD1 treatment with Kymriah re-dosing for leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial studies giving an anti-PD1 antibody (like pembrolizumab or nivolumab) along with a second Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) infusion in children and young adults whose B-cell leukemia is coming back or their Kymriah effect has faded. It may help the new immune treatment work better after the first Kymriah.
BordeauxAges 1–25 - NCT05326919Recruiting
Study biobank for people newly diagnosed with certain blood cancers
This study follows people who are newly diagnosed (and haven’t been fully treated yet) with specific leukemia or related blood disorders to help researchers learn which treatments may work best. It may help by connecting you to a larger “precision medicine” patient group for future research.
BobignyAges Any age - NCT05476770RecruitingPhase 1
Tagraxofusp for children with CD123-positive leukemia
This study tests tagraxofusp, a medicine that targets a marker called CD123 on cancer cells, in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or is resistant to treatment. It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies have not worked.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT05475925RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug DR-01 for specific blood cancer types
This early-phase study tests DR-01 to treat large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGLL) or certain aggressive T-cell or cytotoxic lymphomas. It aims to see whether the drug is safe and can shrink or control the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05506332RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax plus leukemia drugs for AML after treatment failure
This Phase 1 trial studies whether a combination of venetoclax (ABT-199) and “purine analogues” can help adults with AML that has come back or didn’t respond to earlier treatment. It’s designed to test safety and early effectiveness in people who haven’t previously developed resistance to venetoclax.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05702645Recruiting
Down syndrome long-term study after leukemia treatment
This study follows children and young adults with Down syndrome who have survived acute leukemia (ALL or AML) to learn about their longer-term health after treatment ends. It may help families and doctors understand what health problems to watch for and how to provide better follow-up care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 6–39 - NCT05768932RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for advanced cancers or relapsed AML
This Phase 1 trial tests BAL0891, a new study treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors that have run out of treatment options, or in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to find a safe dose and see how well it may work in these hard-to-treat cancers.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05792007Recruiting
Study of bone marrow environment in childhood leukemia
This study looks at what the bone marrow “microenvironment” is like in children newly diagnosed with acute leukemia, to better understand the disease. It also compares leukemia samples to samples from children having certain orthopedic surgery.
ToursAges 1–15 - NCT05849662RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Trametinib plus azacitidine for newly diagnosed JMML
This trial studies whether trametinib and azacitidine can control juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) soon after diagnosis. It’s designed to test safety and how well the treatment works in children and young adults who meet specific leukemia and genetic criteria.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 1 month–21 years - NCT05884333RecruitingPhase 2
Cord blood transplant for adults with blood cancer
This Phase 2 study tests using donated cord blood to treat certain adult blood cancers that are at high risk of coming back. It may help strengthen the body’s ability to rebuild blood and fight the cancer after intensive treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 21–65 - NCT05978141Recruiting
T-cell lymphoma registry study
This study creates a registry for people with certain T-cell or NK-cell lymphomas. It collects health information and tumor samples to learn more about these diseases and improve future treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,326 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.
