Myelodysplastic syndrome

This early-phase trial tests whether adding arsenic trioxide to a standard stem cell transplant can prevent the cancer from coming back in people with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The study enrolls about 20 patients whose cancers have …

This study tests whether adding epoetin alfa or emavusertib to luspatercept helps people with low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and anemia. MDS is a bone marrow disorder that leads to low blood counts. The goal is to see if these combinations improve red blood cell producti…

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding olutasidenib to standard treatments helps people with IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). For AML, the standard is a chemotherapy pill plus venetoclax; for higher-risk MDS, it's the chemotherapy pill…

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called monzosertib in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has returned or not responded to standard treatment. The main goal is to find a safe and recommended dose of monz…

This trial tests whether an experimental cell therapy called agenT-797 is safe for people receiving a stem cell transplant for blood cancers like leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. Participants get an infusion of agenT-797 about a week after their transplant. The main goal is …

This early-phase trial tests a new approach using donor immune cells that have been mobilized through exercise to prevent or treat leukemia relapse after a stem cell transplant. The study will enroll 94 people with various blood cancers. Some will receive the exercise-mobilized c…

This trial investigates whether adding bortezomib and sitagliptin to standard post-transplant cyclophosphamide can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in adults with blood cancers receiving a stem cell transplant. Participants receive the drug combination after transplant, w…

This study tests a drug called ivarmacitinib to prevent acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in 32 people with blood cancers receiving a half-matched stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if the drug can lower the chance of severe GVHD and improve survival without long-term…

This early-phase study tests whether adding an experimental drug (VIC-1911) to standard medications can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children aged 8-18 who receive a stem cell transplant from a half-matched donor. GVHD occurs when donor cells attack the child's bod…

This study tests whether infusing umbilical cord blood can safely help elderly patients (ages 60-80) with MDS or AML recover from bone marrow suppression caused by chemotherapy. The treatment aims to improve blood cell counts and reduce complications like bleeding and infection. …

Researchers are testing whether removing a specific type of immune cell, called CD45RA-positive naive T cells, from donor stem cells can prevent graft-versus-host disease in older adults undergoing stem cell transplants for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. The trial en…

This study investigates clonal hematopoiesis, an age-related condition where blood stem cells acquire mutations, and how it triggers inflammation linked to heart disease. Researchers will compare immune cells from healthy people, those with high-risk mutations, and patients with …

This study looks at how levels of immune-signaling molecules called cytokines change in the blood just before and after a stem cell transplant. Researchers want to see if these patterns differ based on the patient's disease, such as myelofibrosis or acute leukemia, and the type o…

This study looks at blood cancer patients who carry drug-resistant bacteria in their gut. Researchers want to find out who is most likely to get a serious infection from these bacteria. They will collect rectal swabs and track patients for 90 days to build a prediction tool. The …

This study will collect blood and bone marrow samples from 55 adults with acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. Researchers want to understand how natural killer (NK) cells interact with cancer cells over time. The goal is to identify genetic markers and immune patterns tha…

This study is testing a new blood test called AlloHeme that looks for tiny traces of a patient's own cells after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if the test can predict whether leukemia or MDS will come back before it happens. About 400 adults who have had or will have…

This study looks at a protein called IL-1RAP found on the surface of certain blood cancer cells in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Researchers want to see if this protein can be targeted by a special immune therapy called CAR-T cells. They will collect bone marrow and blood samp…
