Recruiting studies near Philadelphia
- NCT05735184RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with AML medicines for NPM1- or KMT2A-mutated leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and tolerable ziftomenib is when combined with standard AML medicines (like venetoclax and azacitidine, and other chemo options) in people with AML. It’s for AML patients who have specific genetic changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) and helps doctors find the best, safest dose plan.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05442216RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06376162RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with chemo for kids with relapsed acute leukemia
This trial tests a new targeted drug called ziftomenib combined with chemotherapy for children whose leukemia (with specific genetic changes) has come back or is not responding to treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–21 years - NCT06247787RecruitingPhase 1
Imetelstat plus chemo for relapsed leukemia in kids
This trial tests a new drug called imetelstat combined with two chemotherapy drugs (fludarabine and cytarabine) for children and teens with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has come back or not responded to treatment.

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2 years+ - NCT06994676RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CBX-250 for advanced myeloid leukemias
This study tests an experimental drug, CBX-250, for people with certain advanced blood cancers (like AML) that have not responded to standard treatments or have returned. The drug works only for people who have a specific genetic marker (HLA-A*02:01). The goal is to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06222580RecruitingPhase 1
Combination of two targeted drugs for resistant FLT3-mutated AML
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, SNDX-5613 and gilteritinib, for people whose AML has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. It is for those with an FLT3 gene mutation plus another specific genetic change like NPM1 or MLL. The study aims to see if this two-drug approach works better when used together.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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+ - NCT06714591RecruitingPhase 1
Testing BL-M11D1 for advanced AML
This trial tests a new drug called BL-M11D1 for people with a type of leukemia that has come back or not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works against cancer cells that have a protein called CD33.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07464951RecruitingPhase 1
CART123 cells with or without ruxolitinib for AML
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CART123) alone or with a drug called ruxolitinib for children and young adults with AML that has come back or not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help destroy leukemia cells.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–29 years - NCT05476770RecruitingPhase 1
Tagraxofusp for children with CD123-positive leukemia
This study tests tagraxofusp, a medicine that targets a marker called CD123 on cancer cells, in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or is resistant to treatment. It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies have not worked.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–21 - NCT06788756RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing L-Annamycin plus Cytarabine for relapsed AML
This trial tests whether the combination of two chemotherapy drugs, L-Annamycin and Cytarabine, can help adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or not responded to one prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can lead to remission.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT06177067RecruitingPhase 1
Study of 3 drugs for young AML patients with genetic changes
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (revumenib, azacitidine, and venetoclax) for children and young adults with a hard-to-treat type of leukemia that has a specific genetic change. The goal is to see if this new mix can help when standard treatments have not worked.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–30 - NCT07012044RecruitingPhase 1
Cedazuridine and decitabine after stem cell transplant for childhood leukemia
This trial tests if adding two chemotherapy drugs (cedazuridine and decitabine) along with a growth factor (filgrastim) can help prevent leukemia from coming back after a stem cell transplant. It is for children and young adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who are in remission after transplant.

What taking part in a refractory acute myeloid leukemia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
