Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- 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 - 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.

AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges Any age - 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+ - 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.

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+ - NCT05554393RecruitingPhase 2
Treating intermediate-risk AML in younger adults
This trial compares three different drug combinations for younger adults (18-59) with intermediate-risk AML. You will be assigned to one of three groups: standard chemotherapy (cytarabine + daunorubicin), that same chemotherapy plus venetoclax, or venetoclax combined with azacitidine.

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.

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.

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.
