Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT05947851RecruitingPhase 3
Nemtabrutinib plus venetoclax versus standard add-on therapy
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding nemtabrutinib to venetoclax works better than the usual next treatment approach (venetoclax plus rituximab) in people with relapsed or treatment-resistant CLL/SLL. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds after at least one prior therapy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05006716RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for certain B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial studies the safest dose and then effectiveness of BGB-16673 in people with specific B-cell malignancies. It may help by targeting cancer cells in these blood cancers, especially after other treatments like BTK inhibitors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07221500RecruitingPhase 2
Study of NX-5948 for advanced CLL or SLL
This trial tests an experimental drug called NX-5948 for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back or not responded to prior treatments. It's for those who have already tried a BTK inhibitor and a BCL-2 inhibitor.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06943872RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing new treatments for relapsed CLL or SLL
This study tests a combination of sonrotoclax plus obinutuzumab or rituximab versus the current standard venetoclax plus rituximab for people whose CLL or SLL has come back or not responded to previous treatment. The goal is to see which approach helps keep the cancer from growing longer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06846671RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for CLL or SLL
This trial tests a new investigational drug, BGB-16673, for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have already tried two types of treatments (BTK and BCL2 inhibitors). The goal is to see if this new drug works better than other available treatments chosen by the doctor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04269902RecruitingPhase 3
Early treatment check for high-risk CLL/SLL
This Phase 3 trial studies an early treatment approach for people with high-risk CLL or SLL who have not yet needed standard therapy. It aims to see if treating earlier can improve outcomes while keeping side effects manageable.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 40–75 - NCT05645107RecruitingPhase 3
XEMBIFY plus usual care to prevent infections
This Phase 3 study tests whether XEMBIFY (an immune protein therapy) plus standard medical treatment can better prevent serious or repeated infections. It is for people with certain cancers of blood/immune systems who are already having trouble with infections.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03986034RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax study in relapsed CLL using early tumor tracking
This trial tests how well venetoclax (a targeted pill for CLL) works in people whose CLL has come back or hasn’t responded. It also closely tracks early changes in the CLL cells to better understand what happens during treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT03666000RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a CD19 CAR T cell treatment for relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety and best dose of a CD19 CAR T cell therapy (azer-cel) in people whose B-cell blood cancer has returned or did not respond to treatment. It may help people with relapsed/refractory B-ALL or certain aggressive or large B-cell lymphomas, including after or before prior CAR T treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04830137RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug NX-2127 for hard-to-treat B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early effectiveness of NX-2127 in adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers. If you qualify, you may receive a new targeted treatment because your cancer has returned or not responded to prior therapies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05131022RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NX-5948 for relapsed B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests NX-5948 in adults whose B-cell cancers have come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the treatment works in different types of B-cell malignancies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05254743RecruitingPhase 3
Pirtobrutinib versus ibrutinib for CLL or SLL
This Phase 3 trial compares two oral medicines—pirtobrutinib and ibrutinib—in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who need treatment. It’s designed to see which drug works better and is easier to take, especially for people with a specific genetic change in the cancer (17p deletion).
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05602363RecruitingPhase 1
Docirbrutinib for CLL or lymphoma after prior treatments
This Phase 1 study tests docirbrutinib, a targeted pill treatment, in people with CLL/SLL or certain other B-cell lymphomas that have come back or didn’t respond to earlier therapy. The goal is to see whether it’s safe and whether it can control the disease after standard treatments have failed.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06364423RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell therapy for CD19-positive leukemias and lymphomas
This trial tests a new immune therapy that uses your own cells (CAR T-cells) to find and attack cancer cells with the CD19 protein. It is for people with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma that have not responded to other treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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).
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00923507Recruiting
Study of blood cancers’ natural course and next treatment needs
This study follows people with certain slow-growing blood cancers (CLL/SLL, LPL/WM, and related conditions) to understand how they progress and what leads to needing treatment. It may help doctors predict changes over time and plan care more effectively.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT01087333Recruiting
Share blood samples to help study blood cancers and treatments
This study collects human samples (like blood or other specimens) to learn more about hairy cell leukemia and other leukemias. It also helps researchers develop new lab-made immune-based medicines for cancer treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07428707RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of pirtobrutinib in first-line CLL/SLL

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.
