Recruiting studies
- NCT05768932RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for advanced cancers or relapsed AML
This Phase 1 trial tests BAL0891, a new study treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors that have run out of treatment options, or in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to find a safe dose and see how well it may work in these hard-to-treat cancers.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06197672RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells for CD4-positive AML before stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy (CAR T cells) designed to target and kill leukemia cells that have a specific marker (CD4). The goal is to help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has not responded to standard treatments get ready for a stem cell transplant.
Miami, FloridaAges 12 years+ - NCT06034561RecruitingPhase 2
Bortezomib for relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination that includes bortezomib for people whose acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has come back or not responded to previous treatments. It aims to offer a new option for those who haven't tried bortezomib before.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 16–60 - NCT06022003RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine plus gilteritinib for FLT3-mutated AML
This trial tests whether adding an oral chemotherapy pill (azacitidine) to the targeted drug gilteritinib helps people whose FLT3-mutated AML came back or didn't respond after their first treatment. The goal is to see if the combination is more effective than gilteritinib alone.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04049539RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vyxeos for AML that stays after initial chemotherapy
This trial tests whether Vyxeos (a type of chemotherapy) can treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that did not fully go away after standard induction (“7+3”) chemotherapy. It targets people whose leukemia is still present in the bone marrow and need a stronger “re-induction” treatment.

Niclosamide for children and young adults with difficult leukemia
This Phase 1 study tests niclosamide, a medicine being studied as a new treatment, for pediatric and young adult AML that has come back or did not respond. It mainly focuses on whether the drug can be given safely and what dose might work best.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 2–25 - NCT06678282Recruiting
Testing an investigational cell therapy for B-cell lymphoma or leukemia
This trial tests a new cell therapy (JY231) for people with B-cell lymphoma or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has come back or didn't respond to previous treatments. The therapy targets a marker on cancer cells called CD19 and aims to help your body fight the cancer.
Zhenzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06689917Recruiting
JY231 injection for relapsed B-cell lymphoma or leukemia
This trial tests a new cell therapy called JY231 for people whose B-cell lymphoma or leukemia has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The therapy targets a protein on cancer cells called CD19 and may help your immune system fight the cancer.

Testing trametinib and steroid plus chemo for relapsed blood cancers
This early-phase trial tests whether adding trametinib and dexamethasone to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for children whose blood cancer has come back or did not respond. Because it is a Phase 1/2 study, the main goal is to see safety and learn the best way to treat your specific cancer type.
ViennaAges 1–21 - NCT05745714RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted triple-combination treatment for children with relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 1/2 study tests a multi-drug combination (ruxolitinib, venetoclax, dexamethasone, plus chemotherapy) for children whose blood cancer has come back or did not respond.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory leukemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 236 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.
