Recruiting studies near St. Louis
- NCT05308264RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
R289 for lower-risk MDS that still needs blood support
This Phase 1/2 study tests R289 in adults with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) whose disease keeps causing anemia and/or ongoing need for red blood cell transfusions. It may help reduce blood problems and treat MDS when standard options haven’t worked well enough or aren’t suitable.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06529731RecruitingPhase 2
Interferon-Gamma and Donor Cells for Relapsed Leukemia After Transplant
This trial tests combining a protein called interferon-gamma with an infusion of donor white blood cells to treat AML or MDS that returned after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this combination helps the donor cells attack the cancer more effectively.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06247787RecruitingPhase 1
Imetelstat plus chemo for relapsed leukemia in kids
This trial tests a new drug called imetelstat combined with two chemotherapy drugs (fludarabine and cytarabine) for children and teens with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to find the safest dose of imetelstat and see if it helps control the cancer.
St Louis, MissouriAges 1–18 - 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.
St Louis, MissouriAges 12 years+ - NCT06577441RecruitingPhase 2
Adding enasidenib to usual care for higher-risk MDS with IDH2 mutation
This trial tests whether adding enasidenib (a targeted pill) to the standard chemotherapy (cedazuridine-decitabine) works better than the chemotherapy alone for people with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) whose cells have a specific change in the IDH2 gene.
St Louis, MissouriAges 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.
St Louis, MissouriAges 2 months+ - NCT05564390RecruitingPhase 2
MyeloMATCH screening to match you to AML or MDS treatment
This study screens people with newly suspected acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to see which treatment approach fits best—either a specific study treatment or standard care. It may help by directing you to the right option and by sharing your blood/bone marrow samples for research.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
St Louis, MissouriAges Any age - NCT04742634RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Preemptive drug DEC-C after transplant to reduce hidden cancer
This trial tests whether giving DEC-C (a decitabine-based treatment) soon after an allogeneic transplant can improve outcomes for MDS patients who still have “measurable residual disease” (hidden leftover disease) detectable by a genetic test. It also compares this approach to standard observation if the hidden disease is not detected or if the higher-risk safety checks are not met.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–75 - NCT06196203RecruitingPhase 2
Study of AK117 with Azacitidine for High-Risk MDS
This trial tests a new drug, AK117, combined with azacitidine for people newly diagnosed with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a blood disorder. The goal is to see if the combination can help improve outcomes.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06484062RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cirtuvivint alone and with ASTX727 for leukemia and MDS
This trial tests a new drug called cirtuvivint, given alone or with another drug (ASTX727), for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) that has come back or not responded to treatment, and for people with high-risk MDS who have not been treated before. The goal is to see if these combinations work better than current options.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT02074839RecruitingPhase 1
Oral AG-120 for advanced blood cancers with an IDH1 mutation
This Phase 1 study tests an oral medicine called AG-120 in adults with advanced blood cancers that have a specific IDH1 mutation. It also looks at safety and how the treatment works, with frequent blood, urine, and bone marrow samples.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05320198RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing DISC-0974 for anemia in myelofibrosis or MDS
This trial tests an investigational drug called DISC-0974 for people with myelofibrosis or certain types of MDS who have low red blood cell counts (anemia). The goal is to see if this treatment can help improve anemia and reduce the need for blood transfusions.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04726241RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing blood and bone marrow samples in young leukemia patients
This trial looks at blood and bone marrow samples from children and teens whose leukemia has come back or is hard to treat. The goal is to better understand the disease and guide future options for these patients.
St Louis, MissouriAges Up to 22 years - 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+ - NCT05483010RecruitingPhase 2
Testing statins to treat low-risk blood disorders with abnormal blood counts
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a statin medicine can help people with CCUS (a bone-marrow condition with abnormal genetic mutations) or lower-risk MDS (a blood disorder) that causes persistent low blood counts. It aims to see if statins can improve blood-related outcomes while keeping you safe from side effects.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05434598Recruiting
Whole-genome testing added to standard testing for MDS
This study checks whether adding whole-genome sequencing (a deeper look at DNA) alongside standard genomic tests helps in evaluating myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to see if this extra testing is useful and acceptable during routine care—especially for people newly being worked up for MDS.
St Louis, MissouriAges 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.

What taking part in a myelodysplastic syndromes study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
