Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07634653Recruiting

Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 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.

Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18–85 - 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+ - 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+ - 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.

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.
