Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05483010RecruitingPhase 2
Testing statins to treat low-risk blood disorders with abnormal blood counts
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a statin medicine can help people with CCUS (a bone-marrow condition with abnormal genetic mutations) or lower-risk MDS (a blood disorder) that causes persistent low blood counts. It aims to see if statins can improve blood-related outcomes while keeping you safe from side effects.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05292664RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax trial for high-risk blood cancers in young patients
This Phase 1 study tests venetoclax to treat certain high-risk blood cancers in children, teens, or young adults. It is designed to see if the drug can work safely for patients whose disease has returned or did not respond to prior treatment.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 1–40 - NCT05308264RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
R289 for lower-risk MDS that still needs blood support
This Phase 1/2 study tests R289 in adults with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) whose disease keeps causing anemia and/or ongoing need for red blood cell transfusions. It may help reduce blood problems and treat MDS when standard options haven’t worked well enough or aren’t suitable.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05143996RecruitingPhase 1
First study drug for relapsed AML or MDS
This Phase 1 trial tests CLN-049 in adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to find out how well the drug can work and how safe it is in people with limited options.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 226 recruiting mds (myelodysplastic syndrome) 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 (myelodysplastic syndrome) 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 (myelodysplastic syndrome) 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.
