Study of new drug combo for untreated mantle cell lymphoma
This trial is testing a combination of chemotherapy and targeted drugs for people who have just been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma and haven't had any prior treatment (except short-term steroids or local radiation).

Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT01351545Recruiting
Cryopreserved cord blood access program for transplant patients

Building a family tumor and genetics bank for blood cancers
This study collects and stores tumor/tissue information and family medical history from people with certain blood cancers. It aims to help researchers understand why these illnesses may run in families and use genetic clues for future research.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04368702Recruiting
MRI-guided radiation for people needing radiation for cancer
This study tests whether radiation given with help from MRI (a type of scan) can better treat cancers that need radiation. You may be eligible if your cancer is confirmed and you can safely have MRI scans.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04421560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab for PCNSL
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well a combination of pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab treats primary CNS lymphoma that came back or didn’t respond after prior brain treatment. It may help shrink the lymphoma and control it in the brain and fluid around the brain.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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.

What taking part in a lymphoma 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.
