Recruiting studies
- NCT05748197RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ADCLEC.syn1 for relapsed or resistant AML
This Phase 1 study tests ADCLEC.syn1, a new treatment made from a patient’s immune cells, in adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see how safe it is and how well it may work, especially after standard treatments have not helped.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05535855RecruitingPhase 1
UCD19 CAR T for adult ALL with MRD in remission
This early-phase study tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CAR T) for adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who still have tiny amounts of cancer detectable by a special test called MRD. It aims to improve outcomes for people who are in first remission but not completely “cancer-free” by MRD testing.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT04811560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a targeted medicine for certain relapsed leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial tests bleximenib, a targeted medicine, for people whose acute leukemia has specific gene changes and has come back or does not respond to treatment. It may help by attacking these leukemia-specific targets when other treatment options have run out.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory acute leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 378 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.
