Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- NCT03717844Recruiting
Registry for adults with plasma cell disorders
This study is a registry that collects information about adults with plasma cell disorders (conditions involving abnormal antibody-producing cells). It may help researchers understand these diseases better and improve future care by tracking patients over time.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04293562RecruitingPhase 3
Testing targeted drugs plus chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This study compares standard chemotherapy to chemotherapy plus CPX-351 and/or gilteritinib in children and young adults newly diagnosed with AML. It aims to see whether adding these targeted treatments improves outcomes, especially for certain gene changes like FLT3.
Asheville, North CarolinaAges Up to 21 years - NCT04775745RecruitingPhase 1
Oral drug test for relapsed or refractory B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial studies LP-168 taken by mouth in people whose B-cell cancers have come back or did not respond to treatment. The study aims to find how the drug works, the right dose, and what side effects to expect.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06870760Recruiting
Early blood cancer detection in Charlotte firefighters
This study looks at firefighters to find early signs of blood cancers before they become serious. It aims to learn how to catch these cancers earlier, so they can be treated sooner.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 40–49 - NCT05082519RecruitingPhase 2
Calorie reduction and activity to help chemo work in B-ALL
This Phase 2 study tests whether eating fewer calories and doing activity safely can make chemotherapy work better for children and young adults with newly diagnosed B-ALL. It aims to reduce chemo resistance, meaning help leukemia respond more strongly to treatment.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 10–25 - NCT05108298Recruiting
Study to improve cancer survey reporting for young adults
This study focuses on collecting better self-reported information (from questionnaires) from young adults with cancer. It may help improve how future cancer trials understand symptoms and quality-of-life needs.
Gastonia, North CarolinaAges 18–39 - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05401097RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus IDH-targeted pills for AML patients who can’t get intensive chemo
This Phase 2 trial tests different ways of using medicines that target IDH mutations (IDH-targeted treatment) plus venetoclax in people newly diagnosed with IDH-mutated AML. It’s designed for patients who cannot safely receive intensive induction chemotherapy, to see which approach works best and is tolerable.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05544019RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an investigational drug for mature B-cell cancers
This early (Phase 1) study tests SGR-1505, an experimental treatment, in people with certain mature B-cell cancers. It’s mainly designed to see how the drug works in the body and to check safety, and it may offer an option if standard treatments aren’t enough.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05865301Recruiting
Outcomes after approved immunotherapy for young blood cancer patients
This study looks at the real-world results of treating certain B-cell blood cancers in children and young adults with commercially available immunotherapy. It may help doctors better understand how these treatments work for patients after relapse or when they need additional therapy.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges Up to 26 years - NCT06043674RecruitingPhase 2
Glofitamab alone or with other drugs for Richter's transformation
This trial tests a drug called glofitamab, alone or combined with other drugs, for people whose chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) has changed into a faster-growing lymphoma (Richter's transformation). The goal is to see how well these treatments work and which combination might be best.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06296368Recruiting
A tool to help older adults make cancer care decisions
This trial tests if a special tool can help adults aged 60 and older who are newly visiting a blood cancer or bone marrow transplant clinic understand their options and make decisions that fit their needs.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 60 years+ - NCT05442216RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tagraxofusp, azacitidine, and venetoclax for secondary AML
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (tagraxofusp, azacitidine, and venetoclax) for people newly diagnosed with a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has developed after treatment with certain prior drugs (hypomethylating agents). The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 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).
Greenville, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06860880Recruiting
Personalized program to fight cancer-related fatigue
This trial tests a personalized supportive care program that combines exercise, nutrition, and coaching to help reduce fatigue in people with certain slow-growing lymphomas. It aims to improve energy and quality of life.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06876649RecruitingPhase 4

Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–130 - 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.
Goldsboro, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT01137825Recruiting
Older patient cancer registry for a health check
This study is a registry that collects information from older adults who may be dealing with cancer. It includes a short health and function check to help doctors understand needs and guide care, even for people who turn out not to have cancer.
Hendersonville, North CarolinaAges 65 years+ - NCT01137643Recruiting
Sharing blood and tissue samples for blood cancer research
This trial collects tissue, blood, and other body fluid samples from people with blood-related cancers. The goal is to help researchers study these diseases by building a source of samples for future testing.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–120 - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.

What taking part in a 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.
