This phase 3 trial is testing whether an oral (pill) form of arsenic trioxide works as well as the standard IV form for consolidation therapy in people with a low-risk type of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). About 120 adults and teens who have already completed initial treatm…

This early-phase trial tests a new drug called BT02, a monoclonal antibody, in 116 adults with relapsed or refractory blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma. Participants receive the drug by IV every 2-3 weeks for up to two years. The main goals are to check s…

This trial tests a combination of three drugs—capivasertib, venetoclax, and dexamethasone—in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL). The study has two phases: first, to find the safest dose, and sec…

This study tests a new approach for people with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have active disease. Before a stem cell transplant, patients receive a radioactive antibody (131I-apamistamab) along with chemotherapy and low-dose radiation to prepare the bod…

This study tests whether musculoskeletal ultrasound can reliably detect bone, joint, and soft-tissue problems in adults with blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Participants with symptoms such as bone pain, joint swelling, or muscle pain will receive a de…

This study tests a new blood test (5hmC) to see if it can help doctors choose between two standard treatments for acute myeloid leukemia (AML): a milder drug (hypomethylating agent) or strong chemotherapy. About 112 newly diagnosed adults will have their blood tested after initia…

This study tests if a special light (photobiomodulation) can prevent and treat painful mouth sores caused by chemotherapy in children aged 4-17 with cancer. Half of the 49 participants will get light therapy, and the other half will get a standard gel. The goal is to see if the l…

This trial tests whether a structured art therapy program, grounded in positive psychology, can improve self-compassion and hope in children aged 8 to 12 who are staying in a hospital ward. Half of the 80 participants will receive the art therapy sessions alongside standard nursi…

This trial tests whether a structured seated exercise program can help men with leukemia maintain functional capacity and quality of life during chemotherapy. Participants will do supervised, moderate-intensity seated exercises during their chemo cycles, with outcomes measured by…

This study tests a mobile app designed to encourage physical activity in adolescents aged 12-18 who have completed treatment for blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma. Thirty participants will either use the app or receive usual care. The main goal is to see if a larger study i…

This study tests whether showing a short educational video before a subcutaneous injection can reduce anxiety and crying in children aged 3 to 6 with leukemia. Sixty children will be split into three groups: video plus emotional preparation, emotional preparation alone, or standa…
