Recruiting studies
- NCT05263284RecruitingPhase 1
Study of 8-chloroadenosine plus venetoclax for relapsed or refractory AML
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, 8-chloroadenosine and venetoclax, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to prior treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the leukemia.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05292664RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax trial for high-risk blood cancers in young patients
This Phase 1 study tests venetoclax to treat certain high-risk blood cancers in children, teens, or young adults. It is designed to see if the drug can work safely for patients whose disease has returned or did not respond to prior treatment.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 1–40 - 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 - NCT05360160RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral menin inhibitor plus AML medicines for new or relapsed AML
This trial tests an all-pill (oral) combination treatment—menin inhibitor SNDX-5613 plus decitabine/cedazuridine (ASTX727) and venetoclax—for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It’s designed for people who are newly diagnosed and can’t get the strongest chemotherapy, or for certain other AML groups who may still benefit.

Donor immune cell treatment for relapsed or stubborn AML
This trial tests donated “natural killer (NK) cells,” a type of immune cell, in children and young adults with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It mainly looks at safety and also studies whether the treatment can help control the leukemia.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–24 - NCT05506332RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax plus leukemia drugs for AML after treatment failure
This Phase 1 trial studies whether a combination of venetoclax (ABT-199) and “purine analogues” can help adults with AML that has come back or didn’t respond to earlier treatment. It’s designed to test safety and early effectiveness in people who haven’t previously developed resistance to venetoclax.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05597306RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax plus bomedemstat for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This early-phase study tests venetoclax together with bomedemstat in adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or did not respond to standard treatment. The goal is to see whether this combination can control the leukemia safely and help shrink it enough to improve outcomes.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05732103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing CTX-712 for AML or high-risk MDS after prior treatment
This early-phase study tests CTX-712, a new cancer treatment, in people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or certain high-risk blood cancers came back or did not respond to prior therapy. It may help shrink the cancer and control the disease by targeting it differently than standard treatments.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05756777RecruitingPhase 1
Gilteritinib plus other IDH medicine for relapsed AML
This Phase 1 study tests how well gilteritinib works when combined with either ivosidenib or enasidenib in adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It targets specific genetic changes in the leukemia and may help shrink or control the cancer when standard options haven’t worked.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05924750RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a CD33-targeted drug for difficult AML
This Phase 1 trial tests BL-M11D1, a drug designed to target CD33 found on certain AML cells, in adults whose AML has come back or is hard to treat. If you qualify, you may be offered early access to a potential new option while researchers closely monitor safety and side effects.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05986240RecruitingPhase 1
Danvatirsen with or without venetoclax for advanced MDS or AML
This trial tests a new drug called danvatirsen, first alone and then combined with venetoclax, for people with advanced myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to see if this approach can help when other options have stopped working.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06001788RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new drug combination called ziftomenib for people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. Researchers will check how safe it is and what side effects happen.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06017258RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells for CD371-positive AML
This study tests a new type of immune cell therapy called CAR T cells that target a specific protein (CD371) found on AML cells. The therapy is for patients whose AML has come back or is hard to treat, and may include an extra boost (IL-18) to help the cells work better.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 1 year+ - 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+ - NCT06049667RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NTQ2494 tablets for advanced blood cancer
