Recruiting studies
- NCT06533579RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for CD19-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new gene therapy treatment for people with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma that have the CD19 marker and have not responded to other treatments. The therapy uses a virus to deliver a gene to target and kill cancer cells.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 13–90 - NCT06544785RecruitingPhase 2
Zanubrutinib plus obinutuzumab for untreated CLL or SLL
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, zanubrutinib (a pill) and obinutuzumab (an infusion), for people with untreated CLL or SLL who need treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works well and is safe.
AlicanteAges 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 - NCT06466122RecruitingPhase 2

This trial tests two oral targeted drugs—pirtobrutinib and venetoclax—for people with CLL or SLL whose disease has continued to grow despite taking a BTK inhibitor (such as ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, or zanubrutinib). The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer when a BTK inhibitor alone is no longer working.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05643235Recruiting
Loop monitor to watch heart rhythms when starting a BTK inhibitor
This study checks how often abnormal heart rhythms happen when you start a BTK inhibitor (used for certain blood cancers). It uses a small implanted heart monitor to record your rhythm continuously before and after starting the medication, so doctors can detect and manage problems early.
New Hyde Park, New YorkAges 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 - NCT06333262RecruitingPhase 2
Fixed-duration pirtobrutinib and obinutuzumab for untreated CLL
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, pirtobrutinib (a pill) and obinutuzumab (an infusion), given for a set period of time in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have not had any previous treatment for their disease. The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer effectively.
Scarborough, MaineAges 18 years+ - NCT06299540Recruiting
Physical activity program for CLL patients on ibrutinib
This study tests whether a personalized physical activity program can improve quality of life for people with CLL who are starting the drug ibrutinib. You would wear an activity watch and use a digital tool to track your activity over time.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT05705570RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T for CD19-positive relapsed or resistant blood cancers
This trial tests a type of immune treatment (CAR-T cells) for blood cancers that have come back or did not respond after standard treatments. It is for tumors that have CD19 on their cells, aiming to reduce the cancer and improve remission chances.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 2–70 - NCT06191887RecruitingPhase 1
BAFFR-targeting CAR-T cells for relapsed B-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) that targets a protein called BAFFR on B-cell blood cancers. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors when given after a short chemotherapy course to prepare the body.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06136559RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Nemtabrutinib vs ibrutinib or acalabrutinib for untreated CLL/SLL
This trial tests a new drug, nemtabrutinib, against two standard treatments for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if the new drug works better at controlling the disease.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06131801Recruiting
Crushed venetoclax tablet solution study for blood cancers
This study checks how the body handles venetoclax when it's given as a liquid made from crushed tablets. It's for children and young adults with blood cancers who already take venetoclax crushed or through a feeding tube.
Aurora, ColoradoAges birth–38 years - NCT05031897RecruitingPhase 2
Haplo transplant with reduced donor mismatch and radiation
This trial tests a special bone marrow/stem cell transplant approach using a partially matched family donor, along with conditioning treatment that involves radiation. It aims to help treat certain blood cancers by replacing damaged blood-forming cells with new ones from the donor.
Philadephia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05943496RecruitingPhase 1
Tafasitamab plus acalabrutinib and obinutuzumab for untreated CLL/SLL
