Minsk, Minsk OblastAges 1–30 - NCT05431257RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine plus venetoclax for older or unfit AML
This Phase 2 study tests whether the combination of azacitidine and venetoclax can help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who can’t handle standard intensive chemotherapy, including some relapsed or refractory cases. It also involves extra optional-style lab testing on your leukemia (bio-banking and “-omics” profiling) to learn which drug sensitivities may matter.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05480449RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized CAR-T for children with high-risk B-ALL
This trial studies a personalized type of immune therapy (CAR-T) made from your own cells to treat pediatric B-ALL that has returned or not responded to prior treatment. It aims to see how well this manufactured CAR-T works and how safely it can be given.

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.
