KTE-X19 CAR T for MRD+ B-ALL
This trial tests a CAR T-cell therapy called KTE-X19 for people with B-cell ALL that is in remission but still has trace disease (MRD-positive). The goal is to see if this treatment can eliminate the remaining cancer cells and prevent relapse.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06102889Enrolling by invitation
Using liquid biopsies to guide treatment for pancreatic cancer
This study is testing a way to use blood samples, called liquid biopsies, to find tiny bits of cancer left after surgery and choose the best follow-up treatments for pancreatic cancer. It might help doctors personalize care for each patient.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06076811Recruiting
Guiding colorectal cancer follow-up with a blood test
This trial uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA remaining after surgery. It aims to see if this test can help guide follow-up and treatment decisions for people with colorectal cancer.
Copenhagen, Capital Region of DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06066905Recruiting
Study of chidamide and azacitidine for AML patients with MRD after transplant
This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, chidamide and azacitidine (AZA), can help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who still have small amounts of leukemia cells (called MRD) after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this treatment can clear those leftover cells and lower the chance of the leukemia coming back.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05959720Recruiting
Teen-to-adult ALL study using a pediatric chemotherapy plan
This trial tests a treatment plan for newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in people ages 16 to 50. It aims to see how well a “pediatric-style” regimen works, but it only fits certain genetic and health profiles.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 16–50 - NCT05872724RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized add-on treatment after cervical cancer surgery
This study tests whether a tailored “extra” treatment after surgery—guided by a lab test called minimal residual disease (MRD)—can reduce the risk of cervical cancer coming back. It focuses on people with certain stages of cervical cancer who can follow the treatment plan and study follow-up.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05868226RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer treatment study for advanced solid tumors
This study tests different treatments tailored to your cancer's biology. It aims to find which therapy might work best for you, potentially improving outcomes. You'd receive one of the study drugs, with close monitoring and support.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05735717RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell transplant using depleted receptors for blood cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a specialized stem cell transplant that removes certain immune “T-cell” receptors to help treat blood cancers like acute leukemia. It may help your body rebuild a healthier immune system after high-dose treatment.

Tracking tumor DNA to predict relapse after upper kidney cancer surgery
This study checks tumor DNA found in blood and urine to see who is at higher risk of the cancer coming back after surgery. It may help doctors identify “minimal residual disease,” meaning tiny amounts of cancer that can remain after treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT05408897Recruiting
Blood test to predict risk after surgery for high-risk GIST
This study uses a “liquid biopsy” blood test to look for leftover cancer signals after surgery. It aims to predict how well treatment will work and how likely the cancer is to come back in people with high-risk GIST.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05344833RecruitingPhase 2
Isatuximab and lenalidomide after transplant for myeloma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding isatuximab and lenalidomide after an autologous stem cell transplant can keep multiple myeloma from coming back when tests show leftover (minimal) disease. If it works, it may improve how long you stay in response.

Daratumumab for hard-to-clear T-cell leukemia traces
This Phase 2 trial tests daratumumab (a targeted antibody medicine) in people with T-cell ALL whose leukemia is not fully gone at very low levels. The goal is to eliminate “minimal residual disease” (MRD) that can predict relapse, so treatment may be more effective after intensive chemotherapy.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05192122RecruitingPhase 1
Stop maintenance medicine in multiple myeloma with low remaining disease
This early-phase study looks at whether it’s safe to stop the usual “maintenance” medicine after a strong response in multiple myeloma. It aims to see if stopping treatment for people with very low remaining disease reduces drug exposure without allowing relapse too soon.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05091372RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance treatment after transplant for newly diagnosed myeloma
This trial tests whether using belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide as long-term maintenance after an autologous stem cell transplant can keep multiple myeloma under control, guided by minimal residual disease (MRD). MRD is a very small amount of disease that may remain after transplant, and the study helps see if treating those patients better improves outcomes.

- Are there clinical trials for minimal residual disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 61 recruiting minimal residual disease 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 minimal residual disease 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 minimal residual disease 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.
