Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05651932RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an MMSET inhibitor for relapsed multiple myeloma
This Phase 1 trial tests a new drug that targets MMSET in people whose multiple myeloma has returned or not responded to prior treatment. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether it can shrink myeloma in this setting.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05552222RecruitingPhase 3
New treatment combo study for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
This phase 3 trial tests two different drug combinations to treat newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. It may help by aiming to control the cancer without using high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant for people who can’t receive that approach.

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06365060Recruiting
Screening for AL Amyloidosis in Smoldering Multiple Myeloma
This study is screening people with smoldering multiple myeloma or a monoclonal gammopathy to see if they might have an early form of AL amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in organs. If you meet the criteria, you will be tested to find out if you have amyloidosis, which could help catch it early.

New combo for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma
This trial tests a three-drug combination (selinexor, ruxolitinib, and methylprednisolone) for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or stopped responding after at least three prior treatments. The goal is to see if this new combination can help control the cancer.
West Hollywood, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07073547RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AZD0120 for multiple myeloma patients

Linvoseltamab vs standard treatment for relapsed myeloma
This trial compares linvoseltamab against a standard combination (elotuzumab + pomalidomide + dexamethasone) in adults with multiple myeloma that has returned or not responded. It aims to find out whether linvoseltamab works better and is safe for people who have already had some myeloma treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07681596RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
This trial tests an experimental drug for multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to at least three previous treatments.

Test drug ISB 2001 in multiple myeloma patients who relapsed

What taking part in a multiple myeloma 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 multiple myeloma clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 84 recruiting multiple myeloma 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 multiple myeloma 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 multiple myeloma 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.
Not the right time?
New multiple myeloma studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
