Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40–75 - NCT06116110Recruiting
Long-term follow-up after gene therapy treatment
This study is a long-term follow-up for people who previously received a gene therapy treatment called zamtocabtagene autoleucel in a Miltenyi Biomedicine-sponsored clinical study. It helps researchers monitor your health over time after the 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.
