Recruiting studies
- NCT04419649RecruitingPhase 2
Elritercept for anemia in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes
This trial tests elritercept, a medicine meant to improve anemia (low blood count) in adults with certain lower-risk bone marrow disorders called MDS. If you qualify, the study may help reduce the need for blood transfusions or improve anemia symptoms.

Study of TAK-226 for anemia in low-risk MDS
This trial tests an investigational drug called TAK-226 for Japanese patients with a type of bone marrow disorder called lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who have anemia. It aims to see if the drug can help reduce the need for red blood cell transfusions or improve symptoms like fatigue.
Tokyo, Bunkyo-kuAges 18 years+ - NCT03017820RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine plus immune drugs for relapsed blood cancers
This early-phase trial tests a personalized-style vaccine (called VSV-hIFNβ-NIS) given alone or with other cancer-fighting medicines, including drugs that help the immune system attack. It is designed for people with certain relapsed or hard-to-treat multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, or lymphomas, to see if the treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 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+ - NCT06199557RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gentle drug combo for AML or high-risk MDS
This trial tests a combination of two oral drugs (hydroxyurea and valproic acid, or 6-mercaptopurine and valproic acid) for people with AML or high-risk MDS who are too frail for standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this gentler treatment can help control the disease.
Bergen, BergenAges 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 - NCT06692894Recruiting
Inflammation and Heart Risk in Myelodysplastic Syndromes
This study looks at whether certain signs of inflammation in the blood can help predict heart problems in people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). If you have MDS and are generally well enough to participate, this trial may help doctors better understand and manage your risk of heart disease.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT00801489RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for AML or high-risk MDS using combination chemo
This trial tests a combination treatment (chemo drugs plus a growth-factor medicine) for people newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or certain high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). It may help by targeting cancer cells in the blood and bone marrow and improving remission chances.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02115295RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for AML, high-risk MDS, or blast CML
This trial tests a combination treatment (venetoclax plus several chemotherapy medicines) for people with AML, high-risk MDS, or CML that has progressed into a blast phase. It may help by killing leukemia-like blood cells and improving disease control.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT02727803RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized natural killer cell therapy for blood cancers
This trial tests a customized immune-cell treatment (NK cells) for certain blood cancers to try to control or eliminate cancer cells. You may qualify if your cancer has come back, did not fully respond, or has higher risk features.
Houston, TexasAges 15–80 - NCT05674539Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Less intense transplant regimen for AML or MDS patients
This trial tests whether a less intense chemotherapy and transplant plan can work for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are getting a stem cell transplant. It may help reduce transplant-related harm, especially in people considered higher risk due to age or other health factors.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 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+ - NCT06372717RecruitingPhase 1
Testing APL-4098 alone or combined for AML or MDS
This trial tests a new drug called APL-4098, given alone or with another medicine, for people with certain blood cancers (AML or MDS) that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well.
Clayton, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07107126RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for relapsed AML or high-risk MDS
This trial tests a new drug called RPT1G for adults with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and if it shows signs of helping control the disease.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03326921RecruitingPhase 1
T cell treatment for leukemia after a bone marrow transplant
This early-phase trial tests an immune “T cell” therapy made to recognize a specific leukemia target. It is for people whose acute leukemia has come back (relapsed) or did not fully respond after receiving a donor stem cell transplant.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 80 years - NCT05805605RecruitingPhase 2
Low-intensity stem cell transplant with donor cells and blood-protection
This Phase 2 study tests a low-intensity bone marrow/stem cell transplant using a matched donor plus two medicines to help prevent the donor cells from attacking you. It aims to treat certain blood cancers—especially when standard treatment has not fully worked or when you are in remission but at higher risk.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 75 years - NCT06303193RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a kinase inhibitor drug for MDS and MDS/MPN in adults and teens
This trial tests a drug called pacritinib in people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN). The drug targets several proteins that may help control the disease, especially for those who have not responded to other treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120 - NCT05010122RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing venetoclax and gilteritinib with ASTX727 for FLT3 leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of medicines (ASTX727, venetoclax, and gilteritinib) for adults with FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for people whose disease has come back, is not responding, or (for some) is newly diagnosed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06419634RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combo for returning AML or MDS
This study tests a new drug (BMS-986497) alone or combined with two other medicines (azacitidine and venetoclax) for people with AML or MDS that has not responded to or returned after prior treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06802315RecruitingPhase 2

Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–65 - NCT06206174RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of TGRX-814 for blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug called TGRX-814 for people with certain blood cancers like non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndromes. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 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.
