Recruiting studies in California
- NCT04851119RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tegavivint for kids and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This early-phase study tests tegavivint to see how well it works and how safe it is for children and young adults with solid cancers that have come back or are not responding. It may be an option if your tumor type (including certain lymphomas or desmoid tumors) matches the study’s rules.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors
This early-phase study tests CBL0137 in children and teens whose cancer has come back or is not responding to treatment. It is also for some specific hard-to-treat brain tumors, to see if the drug is safe and can work against the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT04871607RecruitingPhase 2
Yttrium antibody plus chemotherapy for hard-to-treat Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial studies a targeted antibody therapy with yttrium, combined with intensive chemotherapy, for adults whose Hodgkin lymphoma did not respond well or came back. It may help by delivering cancer-killing radiation directly to lymphoma cells and preparing the body for treatment after transplant conditioning.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04920617RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine plus pembrolizumab, with or without low-dose chemo
This Phase 2 study tests whether a cancer vaccine called DPX-Survivac, along with pembrolizumab (an immune medicine), can help shrink diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back or not responded. It also looks at whether adding intermittent low-dose cyclophosphamide (a low-dose chemotherapy) improves results.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07003295RecruitingPhase 2
Glofitamab for mantle cell lymphoma that returned after CAR-T
This trial tests a new drug, glofitamab, for mantle cell lymphoma that came back or didn’t respond after CAR-T cell therapy. It aims to see if glofitamab can shrink or control the lymphoma.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06742996RecruitingPhase 3
Sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib for relapsed mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new combination of two targeted therapies for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or hasn't responded to prior treatment. It aims to see if adding sonrotoclax to zanubrutinib works better than zanubrutinib alone.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05255354Recruiting
Testing blood cancer DNA monitoring during CAR-T treatment
This trial checks whether a blood test that looks for small amounts of cancer DNA can accurately track minimal residual disease (MRD) in lymphoma patients during CAR-T therapy. It may help doctors detect relapse earlier and better judge how well CAR-T is working.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05794958RecruitingPhase 1
Safety of second CAR-T re-infusion for hard-to-treat lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests whether a second re-infusion of axicabtagene ciloleucel (CAR-T) is safe in people with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that came back or did not respond after standard second-line CAR-T. It may help some patients by trying to improve disease control while carefully monitoring side effects.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05800405RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Radiation before CAR T therapy for large B-cell lymphoma
This early-phase study tests whether giving targeted radiation first can improve outcomes when you later receive CAR T-cell therapy for large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or is not responding to treatment. It may help shrink or control lymphoma spots before CAR T is infused.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05887167RecruitingPhase 1
Test safety of making CAR T cells from your own blood
This Phase 1 study looks at whether it is safe and practical to collect your own stem cells and use them to support CAR T-cell therapy for certain blood cancers that have come back or did not respond. It aims to find the best way to combine these steps, which may help some people receive CAR T treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT05967416RecruitingPhase 1
Early-phase lymphoma trial testing a new targeted immune treatment
This Phase 1 study tests SIRPant-M, a new immune-based treatment, in adults with lymphoma that has come back or not responded to earlier care. It may help by shrinking lymphoma using either the drug alone or the drug plus a targeted radiation treatment for certain lymphoma types.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06528301RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of UB-VV111 with or without rapamycin for B-cell cancers
This trial tests a new therapy called UB-VV111, alone or with rapamycin, in people with certain types of lymphoma or leukemia that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07020533RecruitingPhase 1
CMV vaccine for stem cell transplant recipients
This trial tests a vaccine designed to boost immunity against CMV (a common virus) and prevent active CMV infection in people receiving a half-matched stem cell transplant. It may help protect you from CMV-related complications after transplant.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT07226843RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for adults with certain blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug, LY4584180, for adults with several types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma who have already had at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink tumors and stop the cancer from growing.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01790152Recruiting
Dexrazoxane study to monitor heart damage in cancer survivors
This study tests dexrazoxane (DRZ) to see how it affects blood and heart-related “biomarkers,” or measurable signs of heart damage, after cancer treatment. It mainly targets survivors who may be at risk for cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness) or related heart failure.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04587687RecruitingPhase 2
Brentuximab plus bendamustine for relapsed follicular lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies the combination of brentuximab vedotin and bendamustine in people whose follicular lymphoma has come back or did not respond. It aims to shrink the lymphoma and improve outcomes after at least one prior treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06091865RecruitingPhase 3
Testing odronextamab with chemo for untreated DLBCL
This trial is testing a new drug called odronextamab combined with chemotherapy against the standard treatment for people with previously untreated DLBCL. The goal is to see if the new combination works better and is safe.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07275216RecruitingPhase 2
A study of pembrolizumab plus chemo for frail Hodgkin lymphoma patients
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab with chemotherapy for people with newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma who are too frail for standard treatment. The goal is to find a safer, effective option for patients who are older or have other health issues.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06549595RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug combo for untreated follicular lymphoma
This study tests a new combination of two drugs (surovatamig and rituximab) for people with follicular lymphoma who have not been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 18–130 - NCT07104032RecruitingPhase 3

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.

Common questions
- Are there lymphoma clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 194 recruiting lymphoma studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a lymphoma study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a lymphoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
