Recruiting studies
- NCT06418776RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing treatments for AML that returns or doesn't respond
This study compares two different treatments for people whose AML did not go away with initial therapy or came back early. It aims to find which approach works better.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT05190471RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for adults with AML that did not respond or returned
This Phase 1 study tests BP1002 in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is refractory (not responding) or relapsed (coming back). It’s early-stage, aiming to find a safe dose and see if the treatment can help people with limited options.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06118788RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BG1805 for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new treatment, BG1805, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to standard therapy. It targets a specific marker on leukemia cells called CLL-1.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05334823RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T-cell treatment for CD19-positive relapsed leukemia in children
This Phase 2 trial tests pCAR-19B, a customized immune-cell treatment for children and teens with CD19-positive B-ALL that has come back or did not respond to standard therapy. If eligible, you would receive the cell infusion after cell collection and testing to make sure the leukemia cells have the right marker.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 3–21 - NCT03013998RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Personalized treatment study for acute myeloid leukemia
This study matches people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to treatments based on their specific genetic markers. It aims to find the most effective therapy with fewer side effects compared to standard care.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05043571RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed T-cell leukemia
This early-phase trial tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (CAR T-cells) aimed at T-cell leukemia that has come back or did not respond. It may help by targeting leukemia cells with a specific marker (CD7), especially in patients who failed standard treatment.
SingaporeAges 6 months–65 years - NCT06179524RecruitingPhase 2
CAR-T-19 for CD19-positive B-ALL in children and young adults
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CAR-T-19 for children and young adults up to age 25 whose B-ALL has returned or is not responding to standard treatments. The CAR-T cells are engineered to find and destroy leukemia cells that have the CD19 protein.
TianjinAges Up to 25 years - NCT06201247RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CD123-targeted immune cell therapy for relapsed/refractory AML
This early-phase trial tests an 'off-the-shelf' immune cell treatment (CAR-NK cells) that targets a protein called CD123 on leukemia cells. It's for people with AML that has returned or hasn't responded to standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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+ - NCT05305859RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax, chidamide, and azacitidine for hard-to-treat AML
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding three medicines—venetoclax, chidamide, and azacitidine—can help adults whose AML has come back or did not respond to treatment. It may help shrink or control the leukemia and improve outcomes for people who fit the study’s health and lab requirements.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT05949125RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cell therapy for advanced acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (called Allo-RevCAR01-T cells) for people with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has a marker called CD123. The treatment is given with a separate molecule that helps activate these cells to attack the leukemia. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can help control the disease.
Ulm, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT05317403RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax plus chemo to change cancer cell behavior
This Phase 1 trial tests whether venetoclax, combined with chemotherapy and a “cancer cell behavior” medicine strategy, can improve treatment for people with AML that has come back or not gone into remission. It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs of benefit.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 1–25 - NCT06916767RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BAFF CAR-T cells for CLL or SLL
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (BAFF CAR-T cells) for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back or not responded after at least two prior treatments, including a BTK inhibitor and a BCL2 inhibitor. The goal is to see if these engineered cells can fight the cancer.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07784309Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Cell therapy for CD7-positive blood cancer
This study tests a new cell therapy for people with certain types of blood cancer that have returned or not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses immune cells modified to target a marker called CD7 on cancer cells. It may help reduce or eliminate the cancer.
TianjinAges 3–70 - NCT06834529RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T cell therapy for returning B-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to target and destroy leukemia or lymphoma cells that carry the CD19 or CD22 marker. It is for people whose cancer has not responded to other treatments or has returned.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 14–75 - NCT03934372RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ponatinib for children with relapsed or hard-to-treat cancers
This trial tests a targeted therapy called ponatinib in children whose leukemia, lymphoma, or solid tumor has come back or hasn't improved with standard treatments. The drug works by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow, and the study looks at how safe and effective it is for different cancer types.
GhentAges 1–17 - NCT04603872RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T plus dasatinib for hard-to-treat B-cell cancers

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 233 recruiting refractory 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 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 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.
