- NCT07109518RecruitingPhase 1
CD7 CAR T-Cell Therapy for Blood Cancers That Return or Don't Respond
This trial tests a new CAR T-cell therapy targeting CD7, a protein on some blood cancer cells. It is designed for patients whose T-cell leukemia/lymphoma or other CD7-positive blood cancer has not responded to standard treatments or has returned.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05672251RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two antibody drugs for lymphoma that came back
This Phase 2 trial tests two targeted antibody medicines—loncastuximab tesirine and mosunetuzumab—in people whose diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or follicular lymphoma grade 3B has come back or did not respond. It aims to shrink lymphoma that has measurable disease and has specific markers (CD19 and CD20) on tumor cells.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05645718RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus targeted antibodies for relapsed childhood B-ALL
This Phase 2 study tests a combination treatment for children, teens, or young adults whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) has come back or did not respond to initial therapy. It may help patients who cannot safely receive certain standard medicines like anthracyclines or who cannot tolerate PEG-asparaginase.
Houston, TexasAges 1–25 - NCT04532203RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T therapy for leukemia or lymphoma in the brain
This early-phase study tests CAR-T cells—immune cells engineered to recognize cancer—for people whose leukemia or lymphoma has spread to the central nervous system (the brain/spinal fluid). It may help shrink or control hard-to-treat (relapsed or refractory) cancers in the brain.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3–75 - NCT06783816Recruiting
New immune cell therapy for blood cancers
This study tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy designed to treat certain blood cancers (like leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma) that have come back or not responded to standard treatment. The cells are enhanced with IL-15 to help them work better.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges Any age - NCT06765876RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for CD123+ blood cancers
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CAR T-cells that target a protein called CD123 on cancer cells. It is for people with certain blood cancers (AML, MDS-IB2, BPDCN, or ALL) that have come back or not responded to other treatments.
PragueAges 18–70 - NCT04093570Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Extension study for people continuing ASTX727 from a prior trial
This study checks whether continuing ASTX727 for people who already benefited from it in an earlier Taiho study is safe and effective. It may be an option if you stayed on ASTX727 at the end of your parent study and your doctor felt it was helping you.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04581512RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety study of EP0042 for certain AML patients
This Phase 1/2 study tests how safe and tolerable EP0042 is, and looks at patients with a specific type of AML that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. You may be considered if your AML diagnosis is confirmed and your lab tests, overall health, and medication history fit the study rules.
Perth, Western AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT04708054RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Venetoclax with busulfan chemo for high-risk AML or MDS
This study tests whether adding venetoclax to a specific busulfan-based chemotherapy plan improves outcomes for people with high-risk AML or MDS. It mainly targets patients whose leukemia/marrow disease still has high-risk features or measurable disease after initial treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT02443831RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell immunotherapy for high-risk childhood leukemia
This early-phase trial tests CAR T-cells made to attack leukemia cells with specific markers (CD19 and CD22). It may help people with difficult-to-treat, relapsed, or high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), especially when standard treatments haven’t worked well.
LondonAges Up to 24 years - NCT04227015RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of a CD19 CAR T-cell treatment for relapsed leukemia
This early-phase trial tests an injected “CAR T” cell therapy made to attack CD19-positive blood cancers that have come back or did not respond. If you qualify, the study checks whether the treatment can help control the cancer and is safe enough to study further.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3–70 - NCT04532281RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CD19 CAR-T therapy for relapsed or resistant blood cancers
This early-phase study tests a treatment called CD19 CAR-T, made from your immune cells, for people whose CD19+ blood cancer has come back or did not respond. It may help your body better recognize and attack cancer cells, but eligibility is tight and the study is still early.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT06593145RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T therapy for relapsed CD19+ B-cell cancers
This trial tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy for people with certain B-cell cancers (leukemia or lymphoma) that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if these specially engineered immune cells can attack and destroy the cancer.
Warsaw, Ul. Banacha 1aAges 18–65 - NCT06820268RecruitingPhase 1
XS-04 for blood cancers that returned after treatment
This study tests a new drug, XS-04, for people with certain blood cancers (like B-cell lymphoma, AML, or MDS) that have come back or not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can help shrink tumors or control the disease.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06934382RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for relapsed T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called anti-CD7 CAR-T cells for children and young adults with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma that has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if these specially engineered immune cells can find and destroy cancer cells that carry the CD7 protein.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory acute leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 386 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.
