Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- NCT05476770RecruitingPhase 1
Tagraxofusp for children with CD123-positive leukemia
This study tests tagraxofusp, a medicine that targets a marker called CD123 on cancer cells, in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or is resistant to treatment. It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies have not worked.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 1–21 - NCT05512390RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug ABBV-319 in B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial studies ABBV-319 given by vein to see what side effects it causes and how the cancer activity changes in certain B-cell blood cancers. It may help people with relapsed or treatment-resistant disease by exploring new treatment options and better understanding how the drug moves through the body.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT01804686RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term ibrutinib follow-up with or without nivolumab
This study looks at how safe and effective ibrutinib is over the long term, either alone or together with nivolumab. You may join if you are already in an earlier ibrutinib study and your care team feels staying on ibrutinib is worth the risk.
Goldsboro, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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.

Durham, North CarolinaAges 1–21 - 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.

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.

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.
