Recruiting studies
- NCT04888741RecruitingPhase 2
Trial testing reduced immune T cells before stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 trial looks at a transplant approach that reduces harmful immune cells (T cells) before or during an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It may help lower the risk of transplant complications while still letting the donor immune system fight the blood cancer.
Cardiff, WalesAges 16–70 - 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+ - NCT05800210RecruitingPhase 2
T cell and B cell immune “wipeout” after stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 trial studies whether removing certain immune cells (alpha/beta T cells and CD19+ B cells) around the time of a stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for people with high-risk blood cancers. It may help by reducing the immune responses that can interfere with the transplant working, while keeping the process safe.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 6 months–39 years - NCT06013423RecruitingPhase 2
Cord blood transplant with chemo and radiation for high-risk blood cancers
This trial tests a cord blood transplant after a reduced-intensity chemotherapy and radiation regimen for patients with high-risk blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, or MDS. The goal is to see if this approach can help destroy cancer cells and restore healthy blood cells.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 6 months–65 years - NCT06138587RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy after stem cell transplant for high-risk blood cancers
This trial tests whether giving specially trained natural killer (NK) cells after a stem cell transplant can help prevent relapse in people with high-risk blood cancers like AML, MDS, or MDS/MPN. You receive one infusion of these cells about a week after your transplant.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06265584RecruitingPhase 2
Using ATG to prevent graft-versus-host disease after stem cell transplant
This trial tests if a two-step course of a drug called ATG (anti-thymocyte globulin) can help prevent a serious side effect called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a donor stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who are receiving a reduced-intensity transplant.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT06315309RecruitingPhase 2
Two-step ATG to prevent GVHD after stem cell transplant
This trial tests a two-step use of ATG (a drug that calms immune cells) to help prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients receiving a stem cell transplant from a donor. It may be an option for people with certain blood cancers or disorders who are getting a strong, marrow-clearing transplant.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–60 - NCT06355583RecruitingPhase 2
Gut bacteria transplant before stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether giving a transplant of healthy gut bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) before a stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for people with certain blood cancers or bone marrow disorders.
Birmingham, EnglandAges 18 years+ - NCT06439199Recruiting
Blood protein study in non-intensive chemotherapy for AML and MDS
This study looks at certain proteins in the blood (called FLT3 ligand and IL6) of people being treated for blood cancers like AML, MDS, or CMML. The goal is to understand how these proteins change during non-intensive chemotherapy, which may help doctors better personalize treatment.
Nantes, Loire-AtlantiqueAges 18–99 - NCT07020533RecruitingPhase 1
CMV vaccine for stem cell transplant recipients
This trial tests a vaccine designed to boost immunity against CMV (a common virus) and prevent active CMV infection in people receiving a half-matched stem cell transplant. It may help protect you from CMV-related complications after transplant.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06614595Recruiting
Transfusion and quality of life in lower-risk MDS
This study looks at how well transfusions work and how they affect quality of life in people with lower-risk MDS who need regular blood transfusions. The goal is to find what predicts a good transfusion response and to improve care.
Oviedo, Principality of AsturiasAges 18 years+ - NCT06656494RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combo for myeloid blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug (ICP-248) combined with standard treatment azacitidine for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). It aims to find out if the combo is safe and effective for those who haven't been helped by other treatments or cannot have strong chemotherapy.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06793410RecruitingPhase 2
HPV vaccine after stem cell transplant
This trial tests if the HPV vaccine works safely in people who received a stem cell transplant from a donor. It may help prevent HPV-related cancers in transplant survivors.
Lund, Region SkåneAges 18–45 - NCT06886425Recruiting
Study of how azacytidine works in blood cancers
This study looks at how certain enzymes in your body affect the way a drug called azacytidine works against blood cancers like acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The goal is to better understand who might benefit most from this treatment.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06892223RecruitingPhase 2
Anti-NKG2A antibody for leukemia or MDS after half-matched transplant
This trial tests a drug that targets NKG2A, a protein that may help prevent cancer cells from hiding from the immune system. It is for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or related conditions who have already received a half-matched stem cell transplant (haploidentical transplant) with a specific anti-rejection drug plan.
Genova, GENOVAAges 18–99 - NCT06994676RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CBX-250 for advanced myeloid leukemias
This study tests an experimental drug, CBX-250, for people with certain advanced blood cancers (like AML) that have not responded to standard treatments or have returned. The drug works only for people who have a specific genetic marker (HLA-A*02:01). The goal is to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT07044544RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combo in stem cell transplant for myeloid cancers
This trial tests adding two new drugs, decitabine and venetoclax, to a standard reduced-intensity stem cell transplant for people with certain types of leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to see if this combination can improve outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT07270978RecruitingPhase 1
CD33-targeting cells for leukemia with leftover cancer cells
This trial tests a new treatment using special immune cells that target a protein called CD33 on leukemia cells. It's for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who still have small amounts of cancer cells left after other treatments.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT00900198Recruiting
Give cancer tissue samples to help future cancer research
This study collects tissue or other cancer-related samples to help researchers better understand cancer and develop better tests or treatments. You can join if you are being evaluated for or treated for cancer, and you agree to let your samples be used for research.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 2 months+ - NCT02143830RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant chemotherapy for Fanconi anemia
This Phase 2 study tests a stem cell transplant approach using adjusted chemotherapy doses for people with Fanconi anemia. It may help replace damaged bone marrow and treat blood problems like severe aplastic anemia, MDS, or leukemia.
