Recruiting studies
- NCT06847867RecruitingPhase 2
Testing momelotinib for low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
This study tests a new drug, momelotinib, for people with a low-risk form of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who need red blood cell transfusions and have already tried one other treatment (like ESAs or luspatercept). The goal is to see if momelotinib can help reduce transfusion needs.

Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07283900RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin C with chemotherapy for higher-risk MDS
This trial tests whether adding high-dose vitamin C (ascorbate) to a standard chemotherapy drug (azacitidine) helps people with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It is for those who have had little or no prior treatment for MDS.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT01624805RecruitingPhase 2
Immunosuppressant treatment to help low blood counts in some bone marrow disorders
This trial tests a group of immune-suppressing medicines (with steroids and growth-factor injections) for people with aplastic anemia or certain low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. The goal is to improve bone marrow function and reduce problems caused by low blood counts, such as fatigue, infections, or bleeding.
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 - 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.
Hot Springs, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03128034RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Astatine-211 treatment before stem cell transplant for high-risk blood cancers
This trial tests a targeted radiation drug (Astatine-211) given before a donor stem cell transplant for people with high-risk leukemia or certain bone-marrow cancers. The goal is to better control the cancer before the transplant.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–75 - NCT03886662RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
LB-100 for low-risk MDS after prior treatment failure
This Phase 1/2 trial studies LB-100 in adults with low or intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). It may help by improving blood counts or disease control in people whose prior treatments have not worked or stopped working.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05924074Recruiting
Study of ferroptosis therapy in blood disorders with SF3B1 mutation
This study looks at ferroptosis (a type of cell stress that can affect blood-forming cells) in people with certain blood disorders linked to an SF3B1 gene change. It may help researchers understand whether targeting this pathway could improve outcomes.
PessacAges 18 years+ - NCT06918834RecruitingPhase 2
Immediate vs bridging transplant for high-risk MDS
This trial compares getting a stem cell transplant right away versus getting other treatments first before transplant for people with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a bone marrow disorder. It aims to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
Beijin, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03275480Recruiting
Registry study for myelodysplastic syndromes patients
This study is a database that collects information from people diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how patients do over time.
Marseille, PACAAges 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+ - 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 - NCT03670966RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted iodine therapy, then donor transplant for hard leukemias
This trial tests an antibody-linked radioactive iodine treatment, followed by a donor stem cell transplant, for people with relapsed or refractory high-risk acute leukemia or certain MDS. It may help patients by targeting leukemia cells and then using a new immune system to control the disease.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–75 - NCT03896269RecruitingPhase 1
CPX-351 for high-risk MDS or CMML that came back
This Phase 1 trial studies CPX-351, a cancer medicine, in people with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) whose disease relapsed or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink or control the leukemia and improve blood counts in patients who cannot or do not want a stem cell transplant.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05805605RecruitingPhase 2
Low-intensity stem cell transplant with donor cells and blood-protection

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 - NCT05902416Recruiting
Testing haplo transplant for older adults with leukemia or MDS
This study looks at using a “half-matched” stem cell transplant (haploidentical transplant) in adults around your age with acute leukemia or MDS. It may help people who cannot find a fully matched donor, but are still eligible for this type of transplant.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for myelodysplastic syndromes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 284 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.
