New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07183878Recruiting
Venetoclax with BUCY conditioning for high-risk AML or MDS transplant
This trial tests whether adding venetoclax (a pill that targets cancer cells) to the standard chemotherapy regimen before a stem cell transplant improves outcomes for people with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It is for patients aged 12–60 whose cancer has specific high-risk features and who have a matched donor.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 12–60 - NCT01311258Recruiting
Tracking leftover cancer cells in AML or high-risk MDS
This study checks for “minimal residual disease,” meaning tiny numbers of leukemia cells that can remain after treatment. Results may help doctors better monitor your response and risk of relapse in AML or high-risk MDS.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06670222RecruitingPhase 1
Arsenic for low-risk MDS
This study tests an oral form of arsenic in people with low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who need regular red blood cell transfusions and haven't gotten enough benefit from standard treatments. It aims to see if this drug can help reduce transfusion needs.
NiceAges 18 years+ - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05693909RecruitingPhase 2
