Rezatapopt and azacitidine for AML or MDS with a specific TP53 mutation
This trial tests a new drug, rezatapopt, combined with azacitidine for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It is only for people whose cancer cells have a specific change in a gene called TP53 (the Y220C mutation). The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.

Azacitidine plus enasidenib for IDH2-mutant MDS
This trial tests whether combining azacitidine with enasidenib helps people with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has an IDH2 mutation. It’s designed for people who are either new to “hypomethylating” treatment or whose MDS returned/worsened after it.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT03621241Recruiting
Blood test study to help diagnose myelodysplastic syndrome
This study checks whether a detailed blood-cell test can help diagnose myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a bone marrow condition that can cause low blood counts. Your results are compared with standard bone marrow testing to see how well the blood test performs.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT03630991RecruitingPhase 1
Calcium chelator medicine for AML or MDS during chemotherapy
This Phase 1 study tests whether edetate calcium disodium (also called succimer) can be safely given to people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) while they are on chemotherapy. The goal is to learn the safest dose and whether it has signs of helping the blood cancer respond to treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 1 year+ - NCT04047641RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Quizartinib with chemotherapy for new or returning leukemia
This trial tests a combination of anti-leukemia drugs (including quizartinib) together with chemotherapy for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a rare mixed-type leukemia, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It may help by trying to better control cancer in people whose disease is newly diagnosed or has returned/not responded to prior treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04239157RecruitingPhase 2
Canakinumab shot for lower-risk MDS and related blood disorders
This trial tests canakinumab, a medication that blocks inflammation, given as a skin (subcutaneous) injection. It is for adults with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or a related condition (chronic myelomonocytic leukemia or CCUS) to see if it can improve blood counts and reduce problems like anemia or transfusion needs.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04245397RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug SX-682 with decitabine for myelodysplastic syndrome
This Phase 1 trial tests whether SX-682 given alone or with decitabine can treat myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has not responded well to prior therapy. It also studies safety and the best dose, which may help people who have limited treatment options.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04869683Recruiting
Collecting blood and tissue samples in myelodysplastic syndrome
This trial collects and stores biological samples (like blood or other lab materials) from people with myelodysplastic syndrome, to help researchers learn more about the disease. It may help future diagnosis or treatments, even if it doesn’t directly test a new medicine.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT04999943RecruitingPhase 1
Testing two blood-cancer medicines plus eDC in older MDS patients
This early-phase study tests a combination of two standard medicines for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) along with an added eDC therapy in people age 60 and older. It may help improve blood counts or disease control for those who cannot or do not want stem cell transplant.
BeijingAges 60 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.

Study of AND017 for low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
This trial tests an experimental drug called AND017 for people with a certain type of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that is low-risk and not linked to a chromosome 5 deletion. The goal is to see if AND017 can help improve low red blood cell counts (anemia) and reduce or avoid the need for blood transfusions.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06465953RecruitingPhase 3
Ivosidenib vs azacitidine for IDH1-mutated MDS

Biosimilar EPO for anemia in low-risk MDS
This trial tests how well a biosimilar version of erythropoietin (a drug that boosts red blood cells) works in people with low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who have anemia. It aims to see if this treatment can safely improve low hemoglobin levels without needing more intensive therapies.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for myelodysplastic syndromes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 283 recruiting myelodysplastic syndromes 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 myelodysplastic syndromes 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 myelodysplastic syndromes 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.
