Recruiting studies
- NCT07355478Recruiting
Asia myelodysplastic syndrome registry study
This study is a registry, meaning it collects information about people with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) to help doctors learn more about the condition. If you join, you simply allow your existing medical data to be used for research. It does not involve any new treatments or tests.
SingaporeAges 18 years+ - NCT06465953RecruitingPhase 3
Ivosidenib vs azacitidine for IDH1-mutated MDS
This trial tests if the drug ivosidenib alone or azacitidine alone can help people with a specific type of MDS that has an IDH1 mutation. It is for people who have not had strong MDS treatments yet.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT03173937RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cord blood transplant for severe aplastic anemia
This study tests a special cord blood transplant that may help your body start making blood cells faster than a regular transplant. It is for people with severe aplastic anemia or related bone marrow failure who have not gotten better with other treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–75 - NCT05025098RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment versus standard care for older blood cancer patients
This Phase 2 trial compares a “precision” treatment plan with standard therapy for older adults with AML or MDS. It aims to improve outcomes while using treatments that may be better suited for people who cannot have intensive chemotherapy.
LørenskogAges 60 years+ - 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+ - NCT07607418RecruitingPhase 2
Ivosidenib maintenance therapy for IDH1-mutated blood cancers
This trial tests whether taking ivosidenib as a maintenance drug (to keep the cancer in remission) works better than standard care for patients with IDH1-mutated AML or high-risk MDS who cannot undergo a bone marrow transplant. Ivosidenib is a targeted drug that blocks a specific mutation found in your cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07532824RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Proton Radiation and Stem Cell Transplant for High-Risk Blood Cancers
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy (proton-based) combined with a stem cell transplant from a donor to treat advanced forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The goal is to improve survival in patients with aggressive or hard-to-treat disease.
PragueAges 18–65 - NCT07400341RecruitingPhase 2
Romiplostim vs rhTPO for platelet recovery after transplant
This trial compares two drugs, romiplostim and rhTPO, to help increase platelet counts after a stem cell transplant in people with MDS or aplastic anemia. The goal is to see which drug works better at reducing the need for platelet transfusions.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT07384715RecruitingPhase 1
GEN3018 for AML or high-risk MDS
This trial tests a new drug called GEN3018 for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back or not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.

Testing CG009301 for blood cancers that returned or didn't respond
This trial tests a new drug called CG009301 for people with blood cancers that have come back or haven't responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and works against these cancers.
NanchangAges 18–75 - NCT07328191Recruiting
Transfusion guided by quality of life for MDS or AML
This study is for people with MDS or AML who are not receiving treatment to cure the disease and need regular blood transfusions. It looks at whether using a quality-of-life questionnaire can guide transfusion decisions, to see if fewer transfusions can keep you feeling well.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT06892223RecruitingPhase 2
Anti-NKG2A antibody for leukemia or MDS after half-matched transplant
This trial tests a drug that targets NKG2A, a protein that may help prevent cancer cells from hiding from the immune system. It is for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or related conditions who have already received a half-matched stem cell transplant (haploidentical transplant) with a specific anti-rejection drug plan.
Genova, GENOVAAges 18–99 - NCT04184505RecruitingPhase 3
Testing stem cell transplant in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
This Phase 3 trial tests whether doing an “allogeneic” stem cell transplant works best for people newly diagnosed with higher-risk MDS (a bone marrow disorder). It’s mainly for patients who are healthy enough to receive a transplant and haven’t started MDS treatment yet.
AlessandriaAges 18–70 - NCT07096297RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two drugs for lower-risk MDS
This trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, luspatercept and darbepoetin alfa, can help people with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who need frequent red blood cell transfusions. The goal is to see if the combination reduces their need for transfusions.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07081087Recruiting
Can a blood test replace bone marrow biopsy for low blood counts?
This study tries to see if blood tests can replace a bone marrow biopsy for people with low blood counts (cytopenia) and suspected MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome). It aims to make diagnosis less invasive by using a simple blood draw instead of a bone marrow sample.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07025824RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two chemo drugs for stem cell transplant in AML and MDS
This trial compares two chemotherapy drugs, treosulfan and melphalan, used before a stem cell transplant in people with AML or MDS. The goal is to see which one works better with a special anti-rejection drug called PTCy.

Oral THU-decitabine for MDS that has returned or not improved
This trial tests an oral combination of two drugs (THU and decitabine) for people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) whose disease has come back or not responded to at least one prior standard treatment. The goal is to see if it can help control the disease.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06270771Recruiting
Using a wearable ring to monitor MDS patients at home

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mds?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 136 recruiting mds 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 mds 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 mds 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.
