Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05326919Recruiting
Study biobank for people newly diagnosed with certain blood cancers
This study follows people who are newly diagnosed (and haven’t been fully treated yet) with specific leukemia or related blood disorders to help researchers learn which treatments may work best. It may help by connecting you to a larger “precision medicine” patient group for future research.
BobignyAges Any age - NCT05342584RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax plus intensive chemo for AML and advanced MDS
This early-phase study tests whether venetoclax combined with intensive chemotherapy can treat AML (acute leukemia) and certain advanced MDS. It’s for people who are newly diagnosed (or certain high-risk blood cancers) and can safely tolerate strong treatment.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT05384691RecruitingPhase 2
Luspatercept for anemia in lower-risk MDS not needing transfusions
This Phase 2 trial studies whether luspatercept can improve anemia in people with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who do not currently need red-blood-cell transfusions. It’s also looking to see if the benefit is similar whether or not you have ring sideroblasts.
BerlinAges 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+ - NCT05584761RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cord blood stem cells plus azacitidine for advanced blood cancers
This trial tests whether adding donated cord blood stem cells to azacitidine can improve outcomes for people with advanced MDS, CMML-2, or a certain type of AML. It may help by giving the treatment a stronger chance to control abnormal blood-forming cells.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT05588154Recruiting
Donate blood and other samples to study blood cancers
This study asks healthy adults to provide blood, bone marrow (if needed), skin, saliva, and stool samples. Scientists use these samples to compare patterns related to myeloid (bone-marrow) blood cancers, which may help future research and tests.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05601726RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for hard-to-treat AML or high-risk MDS
This early study tests a new medicine (ABD-3001) to see if it’s safe and tolerable, how the body handles it, and whether it shows early signs of helping people with relapsed or hard-to-treat AML or high-risk MDS. It may be an option if standard treatments have already failed and you can’t receive a stem cell transplant.
Marseille, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05636514RecruitingPhase 1
Testing epigenetic and sensitizer treatment for AML and MDS
This early-phase trial tests whether a combination of targeted medicines can improve outcomes in people with higher-risk MDS or certain types of AML or CMML. It’s designed to find the safest dose and learn if the treatment can help the cancer respond.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05745285Recruiting
LLS care support program for blood cancer patients
This study looks at whether LLS services and support improve outcomes and the day-to-day experience of care for people with leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, MDS, or MPN. It’s mainly about matching you to the right support and following your progress for 6 months.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05788679RecruitingPhase 2
Use a patient’s genetic test to guide treatment after transplant
This study looks at a personalized lab test to detect small amounts of disease after a stem cell transplant and then decide what treatment comes next. It may help some people with certain bone-marrow diseases stay in remission while avoiding unnecessary treatment.
StockholmAges 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 - NCT05807932RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Venetoclax added to conditioning before stem cell transplant
This trial tests adding venetoclax to a standard “conditioning” chemotherapy plan before an allogeneic stem cell transplant (using a donor) for certain bone marrow cancers. It aims to improve how well the transplant works and how safe this combination is for people with MDS, CMML, or sAML.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05875805Recruiting
Telehealth planning for future care decisions
This trial tests a telehealth (video or phone) program that helps people with certain blood cancers plan their future care preferences. It may help you and your chosen support person communicate your wishes clearly, especially if you become too sick to speak for yourself.
Rochester, New YorkAges 60 years+ - NCT05884333RecruitingPhase 2
Cord blood transplant for adults with blood cancer
This Phase 2 study tests using donated cord blood to treat certain adult blood cancers that are at high risk of coming back. It may help strengthen the body’s ability to rebuild blood and fight the cancer after intensive treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 21–65 - NCT05924100RecruitingPhase 2
Luspatercept for lower red blood counts in MDS with del5q
This Phase 2 trial studies luspatercept to improve anemia (low red blood cells) in people with MDS that has a del5q change. It also checks safety, especially for people who need red blood cell transfusions and have not benefited from prior standard treatments.
AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05931718Recruiting
Track diagnosis and treatment in autoimmune blood count disorders
This study follows adults with autoimmune blood problems like autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, and autoimmune/neutropenia to see how diagnosis and care work over time. You may be asked to complete follow-up visits for up to 3 years.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05969860RecruitingPhase 2
Home cancer treatment vs clinic treatment for advanced cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares giving certain standard cancer infusions at home versus in a clinic. It may help people avoid clinic visits while still receiving the same cancer treatment safely.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05986240RecruitingPhase 1
