Study anti-PD1 treatment with Kymriah re-dosing for leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial studies giving an anti-PD1 antibody (like pembrolizumab or nivolumab) along with a second Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) infusion in children and young adults whose B-cell leukemia is coming back or their Kymriah effect has faded. It may help the new immune treatment work better after the first Kymriah.
BordeauxAges 1–25 - NCT07784309Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Cell therapy for CD7-positive blood cancer
This study tests a new cell therapy for people with certain types of blood cancer that have returned or not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses immune cells modified to target a marker called CD7 on cancer cells. It may help reduce or eliminate the cancer.
TianjinAges 3–70 - NCT06537843RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax, cytarabine and metformin for AML
This trial tests a combination of three drugs – venetoclax, cytarabine, and metformin – for adults with AML who cannot receive standard high-dose chemotherapy. It aims to see if this gentler mix can help control the leukemia with fewer side effects.
BelémAges 18 years+ - NCT06536959RecruitingPhase 2
VA plus PD-1 inhibitor for relapsed AML and high-risk MDS
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—a chemotherapy-like agent called VA and a PD-1 inhibitor (which helps your immune system fight cancer)—for people with AML or high-risk MDS that has not responded to or returned after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can work better than standard treatments alone.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory acute leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 378 recruiting refractory acute leukemia 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 refractory acute leukemia 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 refractory acute leukemia 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.
