Recruiting studies
- NCT04275518RecruitingPhase 1
Trial for relapsed leukemia or risky MDS with new drug
This Phase 1 study tests APG-115 alone or with azacitidine or cytarabine in people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk MDS has come back or hasn’t responded. The goal is to see safety and whether the treatment can work for these conditions.

CAR-T cell therapy for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy called CAR-T, which uses specially engineered immune cells to target acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that hasn't responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if this therapy can help patients whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to chemotherapy.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT07588360Recruiting
Stem cell transplant for acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome
This trial tests a type of stem cell transplant (using cells from a partially matched donor and umbilical cord blood) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The goal is to help patients whose disease is high-risk, has returned after treatment, or hasn't responded well to chemotherapy.

Stem cell transplant with TBI or TMLI for adult ALL
This trial tests two different conditioning regimens (total body irradiation or total marrow/lymphoid irradiation) before a stem cell transplant from a matched sibling donor for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is in remission. The goal is to see which regimen works better and has fewer side effects.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–65 - NCT06559345RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant study for children with ALL in remission
This trial tests a stem cell transplant using a half-matched family donor for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is in remission. It compares two different types of radiation conditioning to prepare the body for the new cells, with the goal of improving outcomes.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 1–17 - NCT06564545RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory acute leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 376 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.
