Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- NCT04726241RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing blood and bone marrow samples in young leukemia patients
This trial looks at blood and bone marrow samples from children and teens whose leukemia has come back or is hard to treat. The goal is to better understand the disease and guide future options for these patients.
Asheville, North CarolinaAges Up to 22 years - NCT03013998RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Biomarker-guided treatment study for older adults with AML
This trial studies whether choosing treatment based on lab test “biomarkers” (specific genetic or blood markers) can help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It focuses on adults who are not good candidates for the most intensive chemotherapy, and it uses different sub-studies for different AML types.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06366789RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for AML with FLT3 or spliceosome mutations
This trial tests a new drug called ZE46-0134 for adults with AML that has a specific gene change (FLT3 or spliceosome mutation) and hasn't been controlled by prior treatment. It aims to find the right dose and see if it can help stop the leukemia from growing.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03850574RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tuspetinib for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This early-phase study tests tuspetinib in people with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to learn whether it is safe and tolerable, how the drug behaves in the body, and whether it shows signs of benefit.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04771572RecruitingPhase 1
Oral drug LP-118 for relapsed blood cancers

Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 13 years+ - NCT04988555RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an investigational drug for high-risk acute leukemia
This Phase 1/2 study tests enzomenib (DSP-5336) in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute leukemia (and, in some places, certain other blood cancers). The goal is to see how the drug works and how safe it is, especially for leukemia cases with specific genetic changes (KMT2A/MLL or NPM1).
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 12 years+ - NCT05143996RecruitingPhase 1
First study drug for relapsed AML or MDS
This Phase 1 trial tests CLN-049 in adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to find out how well the drug can work and how safe it is in people with limited options.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05237258Recruiting
Compare palliative care approaches for people with high-risk AML
This study tests a specialized (targeted) palliative care program versus usual oncology care for people hospitalized with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see if this palliative approach improves comfort, support, and care planning during intensive treatment.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–120 - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06382168RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
DFP-10917 plus venetoclax for AML that has returned or not improved
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, DFP-10917 and venetoclax, for people with AML that has returned or not improved after previous treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the leukemia.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06472128Recruiting
New digital app for adults with acute myeloid leukemia
This study tests a digital application to help patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during their hospital stay. It may assist with tracking symptoms, education, or communication with care teams.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–120 - NCT06484062RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cirtuvivint alone and with ASTX727 for leukemia and MDS
This trial tests a new drug called cirtuvivint, given alone or with another drug (ASTX727), for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) that has come back or not responded to treatment, and for people with high-risk MDS who have not been treated before. The goal is to see if these combinations work better than current options.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06680752RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A car-t cell therapy trial for AML or MDS
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell therapy, ARD103, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back or is not responding to treatment. It aims to see if this therapy can help control the disease.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07356154RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of revumenib and mezigdomide for leukemia
This trial tests two experimental drugs, revumenib and mezigdomide, for people with acute leukemia that has certain genetic changes (NPM1, KMT2A, or NUP98) and has come back or not responded to prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the leukemia.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 12 years+ - NCT02074839RecruitingPhase 1
Oral AG-120 for advanced blood cancers with an IDH1 mutation
This Phase 1 study tests an oral medicine called AG-120 in adults with advanced blood cancers that have a specific IDH1 mutation. It also looks at safety and how the treatment works, with frequent blood, urine, and bone marrow samples.

Azacitidine pills with or without venetoclax for certain blood cancers
This study tests whether a pill form of azacitidine (ASTX030) helps people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), CMML, or AML. Some groups may also receive venetoclax; the goal is better blood cancer control for people who aren’t good candidates for intensive chemotherapy.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 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.

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.
