The goal is to learn the safest dose and whether it has signs of helping the blood cancer respond to treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 1 year+ - NCT03586609RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for older adults with untreated AML
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of venetoclax, cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and azacitidine in people with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It may help shrink the leukemia and improve blood counts by trying a stronger, multi-drug approach.
Houston, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT03113643RecruitingPhase 1
SL-401 with standard drugs for hard-to-treat blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests SL-401, given with azacitidine and sometimes venetoclax, to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the combination can improve blood cancer control.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02727803RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized natural killer cell therapy for blood cancers
This trial tests a customized immune-cell treatment (NK cells) for certain blood cancers to try to control or eliminate cancer cells. You may qualify if your cancer has come back, did not fully respond, or has higher risk features.
Houston, TexasAges 15–80 - NCT02390635RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PET/MRI scans to find leukemia outside the bone marrow
This Phase 1 study uses special whole-body imaging scans (PET with CT, plus MRI) to look for signs of acute myeloid leukemia outside the bone marrow. It may help doctors better see where leukemia is and guide future care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02646839Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing a gene-matched transplant approach for childhood leukemia
This trial studies a specific type of partially matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant in children with ALL, AML, or MDS. It looks at whether using certain immune system gene patterns (KIR) and measuring leftover disease after treatment can improve outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT02115295RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for AML, high-risk MDS, or blast CML
This trial tests a combination treatment (venetoclax plus several chemotherapy medicines) for people with AML, high-risk MDS, or CML that has progressed into a blast phase. It may help by killing leukemia-like blood cells and improving disease control.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06368414RecruitingPhase 2
Stopping TKI in CML after asciminib
This trial tests if people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have already tried to stop their TKI medication once and lost a deep remission, can safely stop their TKI again after taking a newer drug called asciminib. The goal is to stay in remission (no detectable leukemia) without needing daily medication.
Incheon, IncheonAges 19 years+ - NCT03589729RecruitingPhase 2
Dexrazoxane to help protect the heart during blood-cancer chemo
This Phase 2 study tests dexrazoxane, a heart-protecting medicine, to reduce heart side effects from chemotherapy in people with certain blood cancers. If you qualify, you would receive dexrazoxane along with chemotherapy, and the team will monitor your heart function closely.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT01515527RecruitingPhase 2
Cladribine plus low-dose cytarabine and decitabine for AML or MDS
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy plan (cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and decitabine) for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to shrink the leukemia/MDS and improve outcomes, including for certain people who may not tolerate standard treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 60 years+ - NCT06537726Recruiting
Breath test for fungal infections in leukemia patients
This trial tests if a simple breath analysis can detect invasive fungal infections early in people with acute leukemia who are undergoing chemotherapy and have a low white blood cell count. Early detection could help start treatment sooner.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06891144Recruiting
Study of older adults with AML getting intensive treatment
This study follows people aged 60 and older with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are receiving strong chemotherapy. It aims to learn more about their health outcomes and better understand the disease in this age group.
AngersAges 60 years+ - NCT04282187RecruitingPhase 2
Decitabine plus targeted drugs for advanced blood cancer blast phase
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding decitabine to one of three targeted medicines (ruxolitinib, fedratinib, or pacritinib) can improve outcomes in people with advanced myeloproliferative neoplasms that are progressing to a blast phase. It may help control the disease by combining blood-cancer chemotherapy with drugs that block disease-driving signaling.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05431257RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine plus venetoclax for older or unfit AML
This Phase 2 study tests whether the combination of azacitidine and venetoclax can help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who can’t handle standard intensive chemotherapy, including some relapsed or refractory cases. It also involves extra optional-style lab testing on your leukemia (bio-banking and “-omics” profiling) to learn which drug sensitivities may matter.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05580861RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sulfasalazine for newly diagnosed AML in older adults on chemo
This Phase 1/2 trial studies whether sulfasalazine, added to intensive chemotherapy, can help older adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to improve treatment effectiveness and track leukemia “leftover cells” in some participants.
AmiensAges 60 years+ - NCT06447090RecruitingPhase 2
VMAC plus donor cells for AML relapse after transplant
This study tests a combination treatment called VMAC (a chemotherapy) plus DLI (donor immune cells) for people whose AML has returned after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the leukemia again.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06221683RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized induction therapy for children with AML based on genetics
This trial tests different induction therapy options based on the specific genetic subtype of a child’s AML and how the leukemia responds early on. The goal is to personalize treatment to improve outcomes and reduce side effects.
