Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04239157RecruitingPhase 2
Canakinumab shot for lower-risk MDS and related blood disorders
This trial tests canakinumab, a medication that blocks inflammation, given as a skin (subcutaneous) injection. It is for adults with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or a related condition (chronic myelomonocytic leukemia or CCUS) to see if it can improve blood counts and reduce problems like anemia or transfusion needs.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
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

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 - NCT06297941RecruitingPhase 1
Study of REM-422 for AML or high-risk MDS
This trial tests an experimental oral medication called REM-422 for people with AML (a type of blood cancer) that has not responded to treatment or has come back, or for those with high-risk MDS. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03874052RecruitingPhase 1
Ruxolitinib plus venetoclax and azacitidine for relapsed AML
This early-phase study tests a combination of ruxolitinib with venetoclax, with or without azacitidine, for adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or does not respond to treatment. It may help by stopping cancer cells from growing and improving blood counts, with the exact plan guided by the study arm you’re assigned to.
Dallas, TexasAges 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07422480RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing elritercept to epoetin alfa for anemia in MDS needing transfusions
This trial tests a new drug called elritercept against a standard treatment, epoetin alfa, for people with a low-risk form of MDS who need regular blood transfusions for anemia. The goal is to see if elritercept works better to reduce the need for transfusions.
Baytown, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06499285RecruitingPhase 3
Study of elritercept for anemia in low-risk MDS needing transfusions
This trial tests an investigational drug called elritercept for adults with a specific type of low-risk MDS (myelodysplastic syndromes) who have anemia (low red blood cells) and need regular blood transfusions. The goal is to see if elritercept can reduce or eliminate the need for transfusions.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05092451RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CD70-targeting NK cell therapy for blood cancer relapse
This study tests an immune therapy made from cord blood “NK cells” that are engineered to attack cells with a marker called CD70. It’s given after chemotherapy that reduces your blood and immune system, aiming to treat relapse or refractory (not responding) blood cancers.
Houston, TexasAges 12–80 - NCT04256317RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Azacitidine pills with or without venetoclax for certain blood cancers
This study tests whether a pill form of azacitidine (ASTX030) helps people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), CMML, or AML. Some groups may also receive venetoclax; the goal is better blood cancer control for people who aren’t good candidates for intensive chemotherapy.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.

What taking part in a previously treated myelodysplastic syndrome 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.
