Recruiting studies
- NCT06564493RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation conditioning before sibling stem cell transplant for pediatric ALL

CAR-T Cell Therapy for Standard-Risk B-ALL After Chemotherapy
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CAR-T cells to help prevent relapse in adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (a blood cancer) who have responded well to standard chemotherapy. The treatment is designed as a consolidation therapy to strengthen remission after initial chemotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06378437RecruitingPhase 1
GLB-001 for blood cancers that have returned or not responded
This trial is testing a new drug called GLB-001 for people with certain blood cancers or bone marrow disorders that have not gotten better with standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT04068597RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing inobrodib for blood cancers that came back
This is an early-stage study of inobrodib (CCS1477) for blood cancers like lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or acute myeloid leukemia that have returned or did not respond to standard treatment. It aims to see whether the drug is safe and can help control the cancer.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06256627Recruiting
Maintenance treatment of 'ITIVA' for AML in remission
This trial tests a maintenance treatment called 'ITIVA' for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have achieved remission after initial chemotherapy and consolidation therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment helps keep the leukemia from coming back.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 14 years+ - NCT06227026RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for blood cancers that returned
This study tests a personalized cell treatment called CAR-T for people whose blood cancer (like lymphoma, leukemia, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia) has come back or not gotten better after standard treatment. The therapy uses your own immune cells, modified in a lab, to find and fight the cancer.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06191263RecruitingPhase 2
RVU120 plus venetoclax for relapsed AML
This trial tests a new drug, RVU120, combined with venetoclax for people with AML that has come back or not responded to treatment. It may be an option if you've already tried venetoclax with another drug and it didn't work.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT05986240RecruitingPhase 1
Danvatirsen with or without venetoclax for advanced MDS or AML
This trial tests a new drug called danvatirsen, first alone and then combined with venetoclax, for people with advanced myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to see if this approach can help when other options have stopped working.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05945849RecruitingPhase 1
Modified stem cells and CAR T cells for hard-to-treat AML
This trial tests a new approach for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has not gotten better with standard treatments. First, you receive modified stem cells, then specially designed immune cells (CAR T cells) that target a protein called CD33 on leukemia cells. The goal is to see if this combination can safely help your body fight the leukemia.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05887167RecruitingPhase 1
Test safety of making CAR T cells from your own blood
This Phase 1 study looks at whether it is safe and practical to collect your own stem cells and use them to support CAR T-cell therapy for certain blood cancers that have come back or did not respond. It aims to find the best way to combine these steps, which may help some people receive CAR T treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT05904106RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus azacitidine versus stronger chemotherapy for AML
This Phase 2 trial compares two treatment approaches for people newly diagnosed with a specific type of AML (bone marrow cancer) that has an NPM1 mutation: venetoclax plus azacitidine versus intensive (strong) chemotherapy. It aims to see which plan works better and is safer for “fit” patients.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–70 - NCT05679895RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug OC-1 for CD1a-positive T-ALL or T-LL after relapse
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early signs of benefit of OC-1 in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LL) that has a CD1a marker. You may be considered if standard treatments didn’t work or the cancer returned, and if your organs and infections are controlled.
BarcelonaAges 2 years+ - NCT05674175RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test two engineered immune cell treatments for B-cell leukemia
This trial tests a combination of two different engineered immune cell therapies to treat B-ALL (a leukemia). It’s designed for young people whose disease has come back, is hard to treat, or didn’t respond well to similar cell therapies.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 29 years - NCT05659732RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced blood cancers
This early-phase study tests PEP07, a drug that blocks a cancer signal pathway (Checkpoint Kinase 1). It aims to see how well it works and how safely it can be given to people with certain advanced relapsed or refractory blood cancers.
Clayton, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05667506RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Check CNCT19 cell therapy for relapsed childhood ALL
This early-stage trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment called CNCT19 in children and teens whose leukemia (ALL) has come back or not responded to prior therapy. It may help the immune system recognize and attack leukemia cells that carry CD19.

Study of tagraxofusp, azacitidine, and venetoclax for secondary AML
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (tagraxofusp, azacitidine, and venetoclax) for people newly diagnosed with a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has developed after treatment with certain prior drugs (hypomethylating agents). The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.

This study tests an approach to help people with certain blood cancers and their main caregiver plan ahead and communicate more clearly about end-of-life care. It may help patients feel more supported and better prepared for difficult decisions.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory acute leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 377 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.
