Recruiting studies
- NCT05535166RecruitingPhase 2
Risk- and lab-guided treatment for young children with medulloblastoma
This Phase 2 trial tests how doctors choose treatment for infants and young children with newly diagnosed medulloblastoma, based on MRI/CSF staging and lab testing of the tumor. It may help by matching therapy intensity to the child’s specific risk level and tumor type.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 4.9 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 - NCT05257018RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus medicine in the spine to prevent lymphoma brain relapse
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding intrathecal methotrexate (a cancer drug delivered into the spinal fluid) to standard chemo can lower the risk of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) coming back in the brain or spinal fluid. It is for people with higher-than-usual risk of central nervous system (CNS) relapse.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04747912RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy-free early treatment for Ph+ ALL using inotuzumab
This Phase 2 trial tests a treatment strategy for newly diagnosed Ph+ B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that avoids traditional chemotherapy during the early “induction” phase, using inotuzumab ozogamicin instead. If it works, it could help control the leukemia while reducing exposure to chemotherapy early on.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04628767RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Durvalumab plus chemo before surgery for upper tract cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer. It compares different treatment approaches based on whether a patient can receive cisplatin chemotherapy.
Kingman, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04546399RecruitingPhase 2
Blinatumomab with or without nivolumab for first relapse ALL
This study compares blinatumomab alone versus blinatumomab plus nivolumab in young people whose B-cell ALL has returned for the first time. It aims to see whether adding nivolumab improves control of the leukemia after relapse.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–30 - NCT04293562RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing chemotherapy options for newly diagnosed AML in young patients
This trial compares standard chemotherapy with newer drug combinations (CPX-351 and gilteritinib) for children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer. It aims to find which treatment works better and who might benefit from targeted therapy based on specific genetic changes (FLT3 mutations).
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 6 months–21 years - NCT04216524RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for blastic dendritic cell cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests venetoclax combined with chemotherapy to treat blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). It may help shrink BPDCN and control the disease, whether you’re newly diagnosed or the cancer has come back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04043494RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new treatment plans for childhood lymphoblastic lymphoma
This trial studies a treatment approach for children and teens newly diagnosed with lymphoblastic lymphoma. It may help doctors choose therapies based on genetic risk information from lab testing done on tumor samples.
GrazAges Up to 18 years - NCT03959085RecruitingPhase 3
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for high-risk childhood leukemia
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding inotuzumab to standard post-induction chemotherapy improves outcomes for children and young teens with high-risk B-ALL, mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or certain high-risk B-LLy. It may help by targeting leukemia cells more directly, but participation depends on specific age, lab results, and medical history rules.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 months–25 years - NCT03970096RecruitingPhase 2
Reduce graft-versus-host disease after stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 study tests ways to lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious complication after an allogeneic stem cell transplant from a matched donor. It is for people with acute leukemia or MDS who are going to receive intensive conditioning therapy, aiming to improve safety while keeping the transplant effective.
Tampa, FloridaAges 1–60 - NCT03719105RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Chemo plus immunotherapy with donor stem cell transplant for NK lymphoma
This early-phase study tests a combination treatment—chemo, immunotherapy, and a donor stem cell transplant—for certain aggressive NK/T-cell lymphomas. It may help patients who have advanced-stage disease by trying to improve long-term control of the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–31 - NCT03593759RecruitingPhase 3
Testing treatment for active cardiac sarcoidosis heart rhythm and function
This trial studies a treatment approach for people with active cardiac sarcoidosis, confirmed by specific heart rhythm/heart function problems and a PET scan. It may help by targeting the active inflammation driving heart conduction problems, rhythm events, or weak heart pumping.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT03703271RecruitingPhase 3
Uterine scraping as first treatment for low-risk GTN
This trial tests whether using a hysteroscope (a tiny camera) to gently scrape the uterus again, instead of starting chemotherapy right away, can effectively treat a low-risk, pregnancy-related tumor that returns after a molar pregnancy. It's for Chinese women whose disease is still in an early, low-risk stage.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 12–60 - NCT03414502RecruitingPhase 3
Predictors of Response to DMARDs in Rheumatoid Arthritis
This trial studies rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients starting or adjusting DMARD medicines and looks for signs that predict who responds best. It may help doctors choose more effective treatment sooner.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT03150693RecruitingPhase 3
New treatment for young adults with CD22-positive ALL
This Phase 3 trial tests adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard chemotherapy for newly diagnosed CD22-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It may help more patients achieve remission and reduce the risk of the leukemia coming back, while also checking safety and tolerability.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–39 - NCT02877303RecruitingPhase 2
Frontline drug treatment for newly diagnosed B-cell leukemia
This trial tests a combination of targeted and chemotherapy medicines as first treatment for newly diagnosed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or related lymphoblastic lymphoma. It aims to improve how well treatment controls the leukemia and how long people can stay in remission.
Houston, TexasAges 14 years+ - NCT02416388RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Trial for AML treatments and preventing graft-versus-host disease
This trial tests different chemotherapy induction, consolidation (follow-up treatment), and strategies to prevent complications after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It aims to improve overall survival and reduce serious transplant side effects like graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
AmiensAges 18–61 - NCT01371630RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for certain types of childhood-like leukemia
This early-phase trial studies how well a targeted drug (inotuzumab ozogamicin) combined with chemotherapy treats acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It may help people with newly diagnosed ALL who may not tolerate standard intensive chemotherapy, especially older adults.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00501826RecruitingPhase 2
Check nelarabine plus chemotherapy for T-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy with nelarabine in people with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. It may help by improving remission in newly diagnosed or certain previously treated patients whose disease did not respond after one initial treatment.
