Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- NCT06520098RecruitingPhase 2
BTK inhibitor with or without venetoclax for CLL/SLL
This trial tests whether adding venetoclax to your current BTK inhibitor (like ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, or zanubrutinib) works better than taking the BTK inhibitor alone. It's for veterans with CLL or SLL who have been on a BTK inhibitor for at least six months and have not had their disease get worse on that therapy.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - 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.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 1–18 - 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.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06119685RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IDP-023 alone or with other antibodies for blood cancers
This trial tests an experimental drug, IDP-023, given alone or with antibody therapies for people with advanced blood cancers like multiple myeloma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that have not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06091254RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing odronextamab to standard chemo for untreated follicular lymphoma
This trial tests if a new drug called odronextamab is safe and works as well as a common antibody (rituximab) plus chemotherapy for people with a type of slow-growing lymphoma that hasn't been treated yet. It's for adults with grade 1-3a follicular lymphoma that is bulky stage II or stage III/IV.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06052826RecruitingPhase 2
Geriatric support to speed recovery after CAR-T for older adults
This study tests whether extra geriatric support before and after CAR-T cell therapy helps people 60 and older recover faster. It is for patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or multiple myeloma who are scheduled for an FDA-approved CAR-T treatment.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 60 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 60 years+ - NCT01351545Recruiting
Cryopreserved cord blood access program for transplant patients
This trial studies an organized way to obtain and distribute unlicensed (not FDA-approved for general use) stored cord blood units that have been frozen and kept. It may help people who need a cord blood transplant but don’t fit the “licensed cord blood only” options.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges Any age - 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.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 7 years+ - NCT05675410RecruitingPhase 3
Testing two-drug treatment versus standard for Hodgkin lymphoma
This Phase 3 study compares today’s standard treatment for classic Hodgkin lymphoma with a new combination using brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safe for newly diagnosed patients with early-stage disease.
Asheville, North CarolinaAges 5–60 - 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.
Greenville, North CarolinaAges 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.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04570423RecruitingPhase 2
Eflapegrastim safety study for children and teens on chemo
This trial studies how safe eflapegrastim is in pediatric patients with certain solid tumors or lymphomas who are starting chemotherapy that lowers white blood cells. It also looks at how the medicine behaves in the body to help reduce the risk of dangerous infections.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 1 month–17 years - NCT04083495RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T treatment for relapsed CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a lab-made immune therapy (CAR T cells) for lymphoma that has come back or did not respond to treatment, specifically CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma. The goal is to shrink the cancer and help keep it under control after previous therapies, including people who have relapsed after stem cell transplant.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT07634653Recruiting
Strength Training for Kids with Newly Diagnosed Blood Cancer
This study tests whether strength training exercises during cancer treatment can help children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma feel stronger and recover better. The research includes optional interviews with parents to understand how the program affects families.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 6 years+ - NCT07479797RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two CAR T-cell therapies for large B-cell lymphoma after first treatment
This trial tests a new CAR T-cell therapy, KITE-753, against an approved one, Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel), for people with large B-cell lymphoma that came back or didn't respond to first-line treatment. The goal is to see which works better.

Collecting information from people having a stem cell transplant
This study aims to collect, store, and share data from patients who are receiving standard intensive treatment and a stem cell transplant from either their own cells or a donor. It may help improve how future patients are treated by building a reliable record of outcomes and care patterns.

Blood cancer registry study for biomarker discovery
This study collects samples and health information from people with certain blood cancers to learn more about the disease and find markers that may help guide future treatments. You will not receive a treatment from this study, but you may help advance research.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges birth+ - NCT07024706RecruitingPhase 2
Study of acalabrutinib plus venetoclax for relapsed CLL
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs for people with CLL or SLL whose cancer returned after first treatment with a similar type of therapy. The goal is to see if this approach works well with a fixed treatment duration.

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.
