Clinical trials are an important part of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) care at Fred Hutch Cancer Center. Our physicians and researchers continue to study new therapies and treatments for AML. Depending on your diagnosis and treatment plan, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical trial.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trials

Fred Hutch typically has over 750 active cancer clinical trials enrolling participants. 

Clinical trials may allow some patients access to a promising new treatment, and help physicians and researchers learn more about a disease. 

Research That Advances AML Care

Fred Hutch researchers have helped develop many of today's AML treatments. They continue to lead studies focused on improving care. Current research includes:

Clinical Trial Initiative for Older Adults

Hematologist-oncologist and stem cell transplant expert Mohamed Sorror, MD, MS, will lead a national clinical trial initiative that will gather critical evidence to determine the best treatment strategies for older adults with AML.

Studying CAR T-cell Therapies

Soheil Meshinchi, MD, PhD, is a world leader in blood cancer research and holds the Dylan Burke Endowed Chair in Immunotherapy. His lab is pioneering targeted immunotherapies and CAR T-cell treatments for patients with AML.

Untangling AML Subtypes for Better Treatments

Fred Hutch postdoc, Vivian Liu, MD, is studying the biological and genetic processes that drive AML. Co-mentored by Stanley Lee, PhD, and Soheil Meshinchi, MD, PhD, she is aiming to better understand how a mutation found in about 30% of adult AML cases drives cancer and could potentially be targeted therapeutically.

Our AML Researchers and Faculty

Our scientists and care teams work closely together to prevent, diagnose and treat AML and other diseases. Their laboratory and clinical research helps advance new treatments and improve care for patients. Many of our AML providers are also researchers, bringing the latest scientific discoveries directly into patient care. Through our many AML clinical trials, eligible patients may have access to promising new therapies while helping shape the future of care.
