St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05342584RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax plus intensive chemo for AML and advanced MDS
This early-phase study tests whether venetoclax combined with intensive chemotherapy can treat AML (acute leukemia) and certain advanced MDS. It’s for people who are newly diagnosed (or certain high-risk blood cancers) and can safely tolerate strong treatment.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT06529731RecruitingPhase 2
Interferon-Gamma and Donor Cells for Relapsed Leukemia After Transplant
This trial tests combining a protein called interferon-gamma with an infusion of donor white blood cells to treat AML or MDS that returned after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this combination helps the donor cells attack the cancer more effectively.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06510868Recruiting
MDS risk study for NET patients before or after PRRT
This study looks at the risk of developing Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a blood disorder, in people with Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) who are treated with Peptide Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT). It involves a simple blood test to check for genetic changes linked to MDS. Participating can help understand and potentially prevent this side effect.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06063486RecruitingPhase 2
Curcumin for inflammation and symptoms in blood disorders
This trial tests whether curcumin, a natural compound found in turmeric, can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms like fatigue in people with certain blood disorders that cause low blood counts or overproduction of blood cells. It is for patients with clonal cytopenia of uncertain significance, low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, or myeloproliferative neoplasms (polycythemia vera, essential thrombocytosis, or myelofibrosis) who have bothersome symptoms.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06247787RecruitingPhase 1
Imetelstat plus chemo for relapsed leukemia in kids
This trial tests a new drug called imetelstat combined with two chemotherapy drugs (fludarabine and cytarabine) for children and teens with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to find the safest dose of imetelstat and see if it helps control the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–18 - NCT04167696RecruitingPhase 1
Dose-finding drug study for AML or MDS after standard options fail
This Phase 1 trial tests CYAD-02 to find the safest and recommended dose for people with AML or MDS that has returned or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help if you have limited treatment options, but participation also requires meeting specific heart, lung, and lab safety requirements.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06379945Recruiting
