Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06337318RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drugs for low-tumor burden follicular lymphoma
This trial compares a standard drug called rituximab to a newer medicine called mosunetuzumab for people with a slow-growing type of lymphoma that is not causing many symptoms. The goal is to see if mosunetuzumab works better and has fewer side effects.
Beverly Hills, 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+ - NCT06090539RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug for lymphoma that has returned or not responded
This trial tests a new drug, BMS-986458, alone or with other lymphoma treatments, for people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or not gotten better after prior treatment.
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.

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 189 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.
