Recruiting studies
- NCT05143996RecruitingPhase 1
First study drug for relapsed AML or MDS
This Phase 1 trial tests CLN-049 in adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to find out how well the drug can work and how safe it is in people with limited options.

Preventing GVHD after stem cell transplant for leukemia
This trial tests adding ruxolitinib to standard drugs (tacrolimus and methotrexate) to prevent graft-versus-host disease in children and young adults undergoing a stem cell transplant for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to lower the risk of GVHD and improve transplant outcomes.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 2–22 - NCT06195891RecruitingPhase 1
Orca-T stem cell transplant for older adults with blood cancer
This study tests a new way to give donor stem cells (called Orca-T) after a special type of chemotherapy and radiation. It is for people aged 60–75 with certain blood cancers that have not responded well to standard treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06548230RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nadunolimab plus azacitidine for MDS and AML
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (nadunolimab plus azacitidine, sometimes with venetoclax) for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has not been treated much or has come back. The goal is to see if this combination can control the disease better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06501196RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BH-30236 for leukemia and high-risk MDS
This trial tests an experimental drug, BH-30236, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or a high-risk form of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to treatment. It aims to see if the drug can help control the disease.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06569095Recruiting
Study of stem cells in myelodysplastic syndrome
This study looks at special stem cells in the blood or bone marrow of people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). It aims to better predict how the disease might progress and help guide treatment decisions.
BeijingAges 15–70 - NCT06956755Recruiting
Registry for MDS and treatment-related leukemia
This study collects information from people with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that developed after cancer treatment. It does not test a new drug but helps doctors learn more about these conditions.
RouenAges 18 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.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00662090Recruiting
Study of blood disorders in children with MDS or JMML
This study looks at two childhood blood disorders—myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). The goal is to describe how these conditions work in children and better understand them over time.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-WurttembergAges Up to 17 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+ - NCT03970096RecruitingPhase 2
Reduce graft-versus-host disease after stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 study tests ways to lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious complication after an allogeneic stem cell transplant from a matched donor. It is for people with acute leukemia or MDS who are going to receive intensive conditioning therapy, aiming to improve safety while keeping the transplant effective.
Tampa, FloridaAges 1–60 - NCT06510868Recruiting
MDS risk study for NET patients before or after PRRT
This study looks at the risk of developing Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a blood disorder, in people with Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) who are treated with Peptide Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT). It involves a simple blood test to check for genetic changes linked to MDS. Participating can help understand and potentially prevent this side effect.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT02269592Recruiting
Study blood marker changes in early, symptom-free blood cancers
This study follows people with early, “precursor” blood conditions to learn what changes in their blood or bone marrow signal progression. It may help doctors better predict outcomes and understand why some people develop symptom-causing cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06063486RecruitingPhase 2
Curcumin for inflammation and symptoms in blood disorders
This trial tests whether curcumin, a natural compound found in turmeric, can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms like fatigue in people with certain blood disorders that cause low blood counts or overproduction of blood cells. It is for patients with clonal cytopenia of uncertain significance, low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, or myeloproliferative neoplasms (polycythemia vera, essential thrombocytosis, or myelofibrosis) who have bothersome symptoms.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03113643RecruitingPhase 1
SL-401 with standard drugs for hard-to-treat blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests SL-401, given with azacitidine and sometimes venetoclax, to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the combination can improve blood cancer control.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 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.

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.
