Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06428019RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing drug combinations for untreated CLL or SLL
This trial tests two different drug combinations (venetoclax with obinutuzumab or with acalabrutinib) to see how they affect the risk of tumor lysis syndrome in people with untreated CLL or SLL. It may help find the safest and most effective way to start treatment.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06520098RecruitingPhase 2
BTK inhibitor with or without venetoclax for CLL/SLL
This trial tests whether adding venetoclax to your current BTK inhibitor (like ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, or zanubrutinib) works better than taking the BTK inhibitor alone. It's for veterans with CLL or SLL who have been on a BTK inhibitor for at least six months and have not had their disease get worse on that therapy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06588478RecruitingPhase 2
Study of pirtobrutinib for CLL or SLL
This trial tests a new drug called pirtobrutinib for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It is for those whose cancer has come back or not responded to treatment, including a prior BTK inhibitor, and also for those who have never been treated but have a specific genetic change (17p deletion).
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07020533RecruitingPhase 1
CMV vaccine for stem cell transplant recipients
This trial tests a vaccine designed to boost immunity against CMV (a common virus) and prevent active CMV infection in people receiving a half-matched stem cell transplant. It may help protect you from CMV-related complications after transplant.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06859008RecruitingPhase 1
Zanubrutinib and sonrotoclax for B-cell lymphoma in diverse groups
This trial tests two targeted drugs, zanubrutinib and sonrotoclax, together for people with certain types of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It focuses on enrolling patients from racial and ethnic groups that are often underrepresented in research.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06859424RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new GVHD prevention method after donor stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new way to prevent graft-versus-host disease (a common side effect of stem cell transplant) using a drug called cyclophosphamide after transplant. It is for adults with certain blood cancers who need a transplant from a partially matched unrelated donor.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–66 - NCT06994676RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CBX-250 for advanced myeloid leukemias
This study tests an experimental drug, CBX-250, for people with certain advanced blood cancers (like AML) that have not responded to standard treatments or have returned. The drug works only for people who have a specific genetic marker (HLA-A*02:01). The goal is to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT07061951RecruitingPhase 2
Mirdametinib for relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL
This trial tests a drug called mirdametinib for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments, including a BTK inhibitor and a BCL2 inhibitor. The goal is to see if mirdametinib can help shrink the cancer or slow its growth.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07218510RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax, obinutuzumab, then epcoritamab for untreated CLL/SLL
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have not had treatment yet. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the disease with fewer side effects.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01804686RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term ibrutinib follow-up with or without nivolumab
This study looks at how safe and effective ibrutinib is over the long term, either alone or together with nivolumab. You may join if you are already in an earlier ibrutinib study and your care team feels staying on ibrutinib is worth the risk.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07302776RecruitingPhase 1
Stopping immune suppression after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether it's safe to stop one type of anti-rejection medication (tacrolimus) earlier than usual after a stem cell transplant from a matched donor. If you qualify, you may be able to reduce your long-term medication burden.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05978141Recruiting
T-cell lymphoma registry study
This study creates a registry for people with certain T-cell or NK-cell lymphomas. It collects health information and tumor samples to learn more about these diseases and improve future treatments.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06528301RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of UB-VV111 with or without rapamycin for B-cell cancers
This trial tests a new therapy called UB-VV111, alone or with rapamycin, in people with certain types of lymphoma or leukemia that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04728893RecruitingPhase 2
Nemtabrutinib for blood cancers after prior treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests nemtabrutinib (MK-1026), an oral medicine, in people with certain blood cancers that have come back or didn’t respond to earlier treatments. It aims to see how well the drug works and whether it is safe.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03850574RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tuspetinib for relapsed or hard-to-treat AML
This early-phase study tests tuspetinib in people with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. The goal is to learn whether it is safe and tolerable, how the drug behaves in the body, and whether it shows signs of benefit.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03801434RecruitingPhase 2
Ruxolitinib for people with certain eosinophil overgrowth diseases
This trial studies ruxolitinib to treat illnesses where the body makes too many eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) and symptoms or organ damage happen. It may help shrink disease activity when steroids are not enough, cannot be tolerated, or the illness comes back.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+

What taking part in a chronic lymphocytic leukemia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there chronic lymphocytic leukemia clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 40 recruiting chronic lymphocytic leukemia studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a chronic lymphocytic leukemia study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every 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.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a chronic lymphocytic leukemia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
