Recruiting studies
- 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.

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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06227026RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for blood cancers that came back
This trial tests a type of immunotherapy called CAR-T cells, which are your own immune cells modified to attack cancer. It is for adults with certain blood cancers (like lymphoma or leukemia) that have not responded to at least two prior treatments.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06233526Recruiting
Personalized treatment for children with relapsed or resistant AML
This trial offers a personalized treatment plan for children with hard-to-treat or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The plan is based on the unique genetic makeup of the child's cancer and lab tests that find the most effective drugs.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Up to 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.

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.

Cell therapy for relapsed or refractory AML with NPM1 mutation
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy, called MB-dNPM1-TCR.1, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has returned or not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells, which are specially trained to find and attack leukemia cells that have a specific mutation in the NPM1 gene.

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 16–70 - 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+ - NCT06557161RecruitingPhase 2
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.

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.
