Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06943872RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing new treatments for relapsed CLL or SLL
This study tests a combination of sonrotoclax plus obinutuzumab or rituximab versus the current standard venetoclax plus rituximab for people whose CLL or SLL has come back or not responded to previous treatment. The goal is to see which approach helps keep the cancer from growing longer.
Laguna Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06890884RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two drug combos for untreated DLBCL
This trial tests a new drug, zilovertamab vedotin, added to standard chemo, compared with another approved drug combo for people with untreated DLBCL (a type of lymphoma). It aims to see which is more effective.
Burbank, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06136559RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Nemtabrutinib vs ibrutinib or acalabrutinib for untreated CLL/SLL
This trial tests a new drug, nemtabrutinib, against two standard treatments for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if the new drug works better at controlling the disease.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06973187RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drugs for CLL or SLL after prior treatment
This trial tests a new drug (BGB-16673) against another drug (pirtobrutinib) for people with CLL or SLL that hasn't responded to or has come back after a prior BTK inhibitor treatment. The goal is to see which drug is more effective and safe.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05976763RecruitingPhase 3
Testing continuous vs. intermittent zanubrutinib for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests whether taking the targeted drug zanubrutinib continuously is better than taking it on a schedule with breaks for older adults with untreated mantle cell lymphoma. The goal is to find a treatment that works while reducing side effects.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT04609046RecruitingPhase 1
Lenalidomide and nivolumab added to standard treatment for brain lymphoma
This Phase 1 trial tests adding two cancer medicines—lenalidomide and nivolumab—to the usual treatment for primary CNS diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (a type of lymphoma in the brain/spinal fluid). The goal is to see if the combination is safe and if it works better than the usual approach.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04989803RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested two lymphoma cell therapies for relapsed or resistant cancer
This trial studies two investigational cell therapies (KITE-363 or KITE-753) in people whose B-cell lymphoma has returned or did not respond to prior treatment. The goal is to see how safe the treatments are and how well they can shrink the lymphoma.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04561206RecruitingPhase 2
Brentuximab plus nivolumab for relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies brentuximab vedotin plus nivolumab in people whose classical Hodgkin lymphoma has come back or did not respond to treatment. It aims to shrink tumors and improve control of the disease, especially when standard options like transplant are not possible.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05533775RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an antibody medicine with or without chemotherapy for relapsed lymphoma
This trial tests glofitamab alone or with chemotherapy and immunotherapy in children and young adults whose “mature B-cell” non-Hodgkin lymphoma has come back or hasn’t responded to treatment. It looks at whether the study medicines can shrink lymphoma again and are safe enough to use in this age group.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges 6 months–30 years - NCT05618925RecruitingPhase 1
Phase 1 test of a CD19/CD20 therapy for lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests an investigational treatment for adults with lymphoma that has come back or did not respond to prior treatments. It targets lymphoma cells that have CD19 and CD20 markers, aiming to reduce or control the disease in people with limited options.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05685173RecruitingPhase 1
Study safety of REGN5837 with odronextamab in adult B-cell lymphoma
This Phase 1 trial tests whether a new medicine (REGN5837) given with odronextamab is safe in adults with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It may help researchers learn if this combination can work for patients whose disease has progressed after earlier treatments.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05625594RecruitingPhase 1
Test brain-directed CAR T cells for CNS lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests a new type of immune therapy (CAR T cells) placed directly into the fluid around the brain to treat central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment can control the lymphoma when other CNS treatments have not worked.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04656431RecruitingPhase 1
Hyperpolarized imaging for CNS lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of imaging scan to see if it can better detect and monitor brain lymphoma. It may help doctors tailor treatment by seeing how the cancer responds early on.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06084936RecruitingPhase 3
Glofitamab alone vs other treatments for mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new drug called glofitamab to see if it works better than other standard treatments for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to previous therapy. It is for patients who have already tried a BTK inhibitor and at least one other treatment.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05705531Recruiting
Cardiac MRI study of heart health after Hodgkin lymphoma treatment
This study looks at how certain blood-related “growth patterns” connect to long-term heart health after treatment for classical Hodgkin lymphoma. It may help doctors better predict who could develop heart problems and how to monitor them over time.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 7 years+ - NCT03460977RecruitingPhase 1
Mevrometostat trial for hormone-resistant prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests mevrometostat (PF 06821497) in people with castration-resistant prostate cancer to see if it’s safe and how the body responds to it. It may be an option if your cancer is no longer controlled by hormone therapy and your organ health tests are within limits.
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05645107RecruitingPhase 3
XEMBIFY plus usual care to prevent infections
This Phase 3 study tests whether XEMBIFY (an immune protein therapy) plus standard medical treatment can better prevent serious or repeated infections. It is for people with certain cancers of blood/immune systems who are already having trouble with infections.
Huntington Park, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04840602RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus rituximab versus standard Waldenstrom treatment
This trial tests whether adding venetoclax to rituximab works better than standard treatment options for Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM). It’s for adults whose WM needs treatment and who meet specific blood, organ, infection, and medication safety requirements.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06395103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zilovertamab vedotin for blood cancers and solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zilovertamab vedotin for children and young adults with certain blood cancers or solid tumors. The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells, and the study will see if it is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months–25 years - NCT06390319RecruitingPhase 2
Adding dasatinib or venetoclax for children with T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests whether adding either dasatinib or venetoclax to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for children aged 1 to 18 with newly diagnosed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoblastic lymphoma, or mixed phenotype acute leukemia. It compares the effects of these added drugs to help doctors find better treatment options.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 1–18 - NCT03523975RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing venetoclax, lenalidomide, and rituximab for new mantle cell lymphoma
This early-phase study tests a combination of venetoclax, lenalidomide, and rituximab in people newly diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma. It aims to control the lymphoma and see how safe and effective this approach is for newly treated patients.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03719105RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Chemo plus immunotherapy with donor stem cell transplant for NK lymphoma
This early-phase study tests a combination treatment—chemo, immunotherapy, and a donor stem cell transplant—for certain aggressive NK/T-cell lymphomas. It may help patients who have advanced-stage disease by trying to improve long-term control of the cancer.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 1–31 - NCT03964480Recruiting
Registry for newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma patients
This is an observational registry that collects real-world information about people newly diagnosed with peripheral T-cell or certain NK-cell lymphomas. It does not test a new drug, but it helps researchers understand patterns of disease and care, which can guide future studies.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06580002RecruitingPhase 2
Can Riluzole Help with Chemo Brain? A Pilot Study

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.
