Study of stem cell transplant after chemo for children with germ cell tumors
This study looks at how well a stem cell transplant works after a specific combination of chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine, docetaxel, melphalan, and carboplatin) in children and young adults up to age 21 whose germ cell tumors have come back or not responded to treatment. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from this approach.
Houston, TexasAges 21 years+ - NCT07396480RecruitingPhase 3
Add-on Venetoclax before stem cell transplant for AML/MDS
This trial tests adding venetoclax to the usual chemotherapy (fludarabine and melphalan) given before a stem cell transplant for older adults with AML or MDS. The goal is to see if the combination helps prevent the disease from coming back after transplant.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 50–75 - NCT04681417RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Eye-sparing treatment options for children with retinoblastoma
This trial studies whether newer “save-the-eye” treatment plans can control retinoblastoma (eye cancer) while keeping vision as good as possible. It compares different conservative treatment strategies depending on how the tumor looks and where it is.
Saint-Denis, La RéunionAges 6 months–6 years - NCT06245629Recruiting
Comparing two drug combos for relapsed multiple myeloma
This trial looks at two different drug combinations given before a second stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma that has come back after first treatment. It aims to see if adding two extra drugs (bortezomib and bendamustine) to the standard drug (melphalan) works better than using the standard drug alone.
UppsalaAges 18 years+ - NCT06829472RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing melphalan doses before stem cell transplant for AML/MDS
This trial compares two different doses of a chemotherapy drug (melphalan) as part of the conditioning treatment before a stem cell transplant. The goal is to find which dose is safer and more effective for people with AML or MDS.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT07582172RecruitingPhase 2
Stem Cell Transplant for Hard-to-Treat Blood Cancers in Older Adults
This trial tests a new combination of radiation and chemotherapy to prepare your body for a stem cell transplant from a matched donor. It's designed for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that hasn't responded well to standard treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06287944RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted radiation and chemo before donor stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new approach: giving a targeted radioactive antibody (attached to a drug that finds CD38 on cancer cells) along with low-dose chemotherapy and targeted radiation to the bone marrow before a donor stem cell transplant. The goal is to prepare the body for the transplant while killing remaining cancer cells more precisely.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT04799002RecruitingPhase 3
Topotecan and melphalan for eye-sparing retinoblastoma treatment
This trial studies whether a combination chemotherapy treatment (topotecan plus melphalan) can help children with retinoblastoma while keeping the eye when possible. It’s a Phase 3 study, meaning it’s testing effectiveness in a larger group of patients.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06679829RecruitingPhase 2
Melphalan with or without siltuximab for multiple myeloma stem cell transplant
This trial tests adding siltuximab to standard melphalan chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant. It is for people with multiple myeloma who are 60 or older and having a transplant within the first year of diagnosis.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 60 years+ - NCT07364474Recruiting
Immune response to liver perfusion therapy for eye melanoma
This study tests how well the liver responds to a treatment called percutaneous hepatic perfusion with melphalan (chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver) in people with uveal melanoma that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see how the immune system reacts and if the treatment helps control the disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05893654Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Melphalan treatment to shrink eye melanoma before other therapy
This early-phase study tests whether melphalan can be used to reduce (shrink) a type of eye cancer called choroidal melanoma before additional treatment. It may help by controlling tumor size while doctors closely monitor the eye and outcomes.
Ribeirão Preto, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07605416RecruitingPhase 2
Testing New Drug Combination for Plasma Cell Leukemia
This study tests a new combination of medicines to treat plasma cell leukemia, a rare blood cancer. The trial aims to help patients newly diagnosed with this condition by using drugs that work against cancer cells in different ways.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT03126916RecruitingPhase 3
Testing added therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding either a targeted drug (lorlatinib) or a radioactive treatment (131I-MIBG) to intensive chemotherapy improves outcomes for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help by aiming at tumor cells more directly alongside standard treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 months–30 years - NCT06158828RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Natural Killer Cells After Half-Matched Stem Cell Transplant for High-Risk AML
This study tests a new way to prevent leukemia from returning after a half-matched stem cell transplant. It uses specially activated natural killer cells to attack remaining cancer cells. This may help people with high-risk or relapsed AML who have few other options.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05564390RecruitingPhase 2
MyeloMATCH screening to match you to AML or MDS treatment
This study screens people with newly suspected acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to see which treatment approach fits best—either a specific study treatment or standard care. It may help by directing you to the right option and by sharing your blood/bone marrow samples for research.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06172296RecruitingPhase 3
Dinutuximab plus transplant for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests adding a targeted drug called dinutuximab to standard chemotherapy, surgery, and a stem cell transplant for children and young adults with a new diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma. The goal is to see if this combination helps more patients stay in remission.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT04221035RecruitingPhase 3
Trial for children with high-risk neuroblastoma testing next steps
This Phase 3 study tests treatment strategies for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, aiming to improve how well the cancer responds and how long patients can stay in control. It compares different intensities and add-ons at key treatment steps depending on your child’s response and health.
Sydney, RandwickAges Up to 21 years - NCT04022239RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bendamustine to prevent transplant immune complications
This early-phase study tests whether giving the drug bendamustine (with or without another chemo drug) can lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. GVHD is an immune reaction where the donor’s cells attack your body. If it works and is safe, it could improve outcomes after transplant.
Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT06377540RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus BEAM with stem cell transplant for Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to the standard BEAM chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant can help people with relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma. It's for patients who are eligible for a transplant and have stable organ function.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07481669RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant for lymphoma at high risk of brain relapse
This trial tests a stem cell transplant with a special chemo combination (TEAM) to see if it can prevent lymphoma from coming back in the brain or spinal cord for people with high-risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Melphalan?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 65 recruiting studies that include Melphalan, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Melphalan trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Melphalan an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Melphalan or a specific trial is right for you.
