Recruiting studies near Columbus
- NCT04895436RecruitingPhase 2
Oral venetoclax plus IV obinutuzumab after prior CLL treatment
This trial tests whether adding oral venetoclax together with an IV antibody called obinutuzumab can control CLL when the disease comes back after a specific prior treatment. It also looks closely at side effects to see what changes in “disease activity” and safety to expect.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05886049RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a menin drug with standard chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This early-phase study tests a menin inhibitor drug (SNDX-5613) combined with standard induction chemotherapy (daunorubicin plus cytarabine) in newly diagnosed AML with specific gene changes (NPM1 or FLT3 status, or MLL/KMT2A or NUP98). It may help patients whose AML has these genetic features respond better to intensive treatment.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT05873712RecruitingPhase 2
Zanubrutinib plus CAR-T for Richter syndrome
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of zanubrutinib (an oral medicine) and CAR-T cell therapy can treat Richter syndrome, a type of lymphoma that develops in people with CLL/SLL. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes after the disease comes back or doesn’t respond to prior treatment.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06533579RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for CD19-positive blood cancers

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.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05554406RecruitingPhase 2
New drug therapy for high-risk AML
This trial is testing new drug combinations for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk AML who have not yet started treatment. It aims to find more effective therapies for this aggressive form of leukemia.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–59 - NCT06876649RecruitingPhase 4
Long-term safety study of Pirtobrutinib
This trial is for people who are already in a Lilly study taking pirtobrutinib. It looks at the long-term safety of the drug by continuing to monitor you.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 40–75 - NCT07504458RecruitingPhase 3
Study of QTX-2101 for adults with a type of leukemia
This trial tests a new drug, QTX-2101, in people with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) that is low- or intermediate-risk. The study aims to see if the drug works and is safe for those who qualify.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–71 - NCT06876662RecruitingPhase 4
Continuing pirtobrutinib for CLL and lymphoma patients
This trial continues to give pirtobrutinib to people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or certain other lymphomas who were already in a previous study with this drug. It helps researchers keep track of long-term safety and how well the drug works over time.

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.
