Recruiting studies
- NCT07493538RecruitingPhase 2
Blood stem cell transplant with lower-intensity chemo for blood cancers
This trial tests a stem cell transplant using milder chemotherapy (treosulfan and fludarabine) followed by a drug called cyclophosphamide to prevent graft-versus-host disease. It aims to make transplant safer for people with blood diseases who cannot handle standard high-dose chemotherapy.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 2–75 - NCT04256317RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Azacitidine pills with or without venetoclax for certain blood cancers
This study tests whether a pill form of azacitidine (ASTX030) helps people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), CMML, or AML. Some groups may also receive venetoclax; the goal is better blood cancer control for people who aren’t good candidates for intensive chemotherapy.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04187703RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing azacitidine and decitabine for bone marrow cancers
This early-phase study tests whether combining two “epigenetic” medicines—azacitidine and decitabine—can improve outcomes for certain bone marrow cancers. It may help if you have a type of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or MDS/MPN overlap that is expected to be sensitive to these medicines.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05601726RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for hard-to-treat AML or high-risk MDS
This early study tests a new medicine (ABD-3001) to see if it’s safe and tolerable, how the body handles it, and whether it shows early signs of helping people with relapsed or hard-to-treat AML or high-risk MDS. It may be an option if standard treatments have already failed and you can’t receive a stem cell transplant.
Marseille, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT04251078Recruiting
Blood tests to track mutations in lower-risk MDS
This study uses repeated blood samples to watch how genetic changes in your blood evolve in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It may help doctors understand what mutation changes mean over time for people not on strong cancer-fighting treatments.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04986657Recruiting
Whole genome testing to help diagnose AML or MDS
This study checks whether adding whole genome sequencing (reading a person’s DNA more broadly) alongside standard genetic tests improves the diagnosis process for AML or MDS. It may help doctors decide on the best next steps when AML/MDS is suspected.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04708054RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Venetoclax with busulfan chemo for high-risk AML or MDS
This study tests whether adding venetoclax to a specific busulfan-based chemotherapy plan improves outcomes for people with high-risk AML or MDS. It mainly targets patients whose leukemia/marrow disease still has high-risk features or measurable disease after initial treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT07710534RecruitingPhase 2
A study of decitabine-cedazuridine and venetoclax for blood cancers
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (decitabine-cedazuridine and venetoclax) that are given in a low-dose, frequent schedule (metronomic) for people with certain blood cancers that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this combo can help control the disease.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06612944RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing relapse after stem cell transplant for high-risk MDS
This trial tests whether giving medication after a donor stem cell transplant can prevent the return of very high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It is for people who have a suitable donor and are healthy enough for the procedure.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT07579429RecruitingPhase 2
Nicotinamide Riboside Supplement for MDS
This trial tests whether a supplement called nicotinamide riboside can help people with a blood disorder called MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) or early warning signs of it. The supplement is meant to support your bone marrow's ability to make healthy blood cells.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06329999Recruiting
CMGV for recurrent AML and high-risk MDS
This study tests a new treatment called CMGV for adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has returned or is not improving. It is for people who may be older or have had other blood disorders.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06536959RecruitingPhase 2
VA plus PD-1 inhibitor for relapsed AML and high-risk MDS
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—a chemotherapy-like agent called VA and a PD-1 inhibitor (which helps your immune system fight cancer)—for people with AML or high-risk MDS that has not responded to or returned after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can work better than standard treatments alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06594445RecruitingPhase 1
GTB-3650 TriKE for high-risk MDS and relapsed AML
This trial tests a new immunotherapy called GTB-3650 TriKE for people with high-risk MDS or AML that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to boost your immune system to fight the cancer.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06498973RecruitingPhase 1
Maintenance therapy after stem cell transplant for CD123-positive AML/MDS
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, tagraxofusp and azacitidine, given as maintenance therapy after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to prevent the leukemia or MDS from coming back in patients whose cancer cells carry a specific marker called CD123.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT03852407RecruitingPhase 2
Two kinds of conditioning before matched stem cell transplant
This trial compares two reduced-intensity conditioning regimens before you receive stem cells from a donor who matches your HLA type. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer for certain blood cancers.
AntwerpAges 18–75 - NCT05924100RecruitingPhase 2
Luspatercept for lower red blood counts in MDS with del5q
This Phase 2 trial studies luspatercept to improve anemia (low red blood cells) in people with MDS that has a del5q change. It also checks safety, especially for people who need red blood cell transfusions and have not benefited from prior standard treatments.
AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT04742634RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Preemptive drug DEC-C after transplant to reduce hidden cancer
This trial tests whether giving DEC-C (a decitabine-based treatment) soon after an allogeneic transplant can improve outcomes for MDS patients who still have “measurable residual disease” (hidden leftover disease) detectable by a genetic test. It also compares this approach to standard observation if the hidden disease is not detected or if the higher-risk safety checks are not met.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–75 - NCT05384691RecruitingPhase 2
Luspatercept for anemia in lower-risk MDS not needing transfusions
This Phase 2 trial studies whether luspatercept can improve anemia in people with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who do not currently need red-blood-cell transfusions. It’s also looking to see if the benefit is similar whether or not you have ring sideroblasts.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07723703RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for acute myeloid leukemia and related blood cancer
This trial is testing a new medicine called AMX-883 for people with a type of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or a high-risk blood disorder called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back or not responded to other treatments. The study hopes to see if the drug is safe and works, either alone or combined with another drug.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06543381RecruitingPhase 1
Olutasidenib for IDH1-mutated blood cancers after transplant
This trial tests a drug called olutasidenib for people with certain blood cancers (AML, MDS, or CMML) that have a specific IDH1 gene change. The goal is to see if it can help prevent relapse after a donor stem cell transplant.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02958462Recruiting
Clinic study for early blood or bone marrow warning signs
