Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07095452RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Newly diagnosed myeloma: comparing drug combinations for non-transplant patients
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (etentamig and daratumumab) against the current standard of daratumumab plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone in people recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma who cannot have a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see which combination better controls the disease while keeping side effects manageable.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05243797RecruitingPhase 3
Teclistamab plus lenalidomide maintenance after transplant
This trial tests whether adding teclistamab to lenalidomide (or using teclistamab alone) helps keep newly diagnosed multiple myeloma from coming back after an autologous stem cell transplant. It’s comparing these options to lenalidomide alone as long-term maintenance.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06615479RecruitingPhase 3
New treatment vs standard care for relapsed multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new treatment called BMS-986393 (a type of CAR T-cell therapy) compared to standard treatments for adults with multiple myeloma that has come back or is not responding to therapy, and who have already been treated with lenalidomide (Revlimid). The goal is to see if the new treatment works better.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05020236RecruitingPhase 3
Elranatamab with daratumumab for previously treated myeloma
This trial studies elranatamab (alone and combined with daratumumab) in people with multiple myeloma who have already received other treatments, including lenalidomide. It aims to see how well these medicines control the cancer and what side effects people experience.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05828511RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for newly diagnosed myeloma before standard treatment
This trial tests linvoseltamab (a new targeted immune treatment) to see if it’s safe and how well it works in adults with recently diagnosed multiple myeloma who haven’t started treatment yet. Because it’s a “window of opportunity” study, it’s meant to learn early results before standard therapy is fully underway.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 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.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT05137054RecruitingPhase 1
Linvoseltamab combo for hard-to-treat multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new drug called linvoseltamab combined with other cancer treatments for people with multiple myeloma that has stopped responding to standard therapies. It may be an option if you have already tried several treatments and are looking for a new approach.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05652335RecruitingPhase 1
JNJ-79635322 for hard-to-treat myeloma or amyloidosis
This Phase 1 study tests how safe and how well JNJ-79635322 works in people with multiple myeloma that has come back or is resistant to treatment, or AL amyloidosis that has already been treated. It may help by targeting cancer cells and abnormal proteins driving these diseases.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06892522RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T cell therapies for multiple myeloma
This trial tests new antibody treatments for multiple myeloma, given alone or with other drugs. It aims to see if they can control the disease and what side effects might occur.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06152575RecruitingPhase 3
Study of elranatamab for multiple myeloma that returned after other treatments
This trial tests a new medicine called elranatamab in people whose multiple myeloma has come back after they tried other treatments, including a specific type of immunotherapy (anti-CD38) and the drug lenalidomide. The goal is to see if this medicine can help control the cancer.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04508790RecruitingPhase 2
Leflunomide plus pomalidomide with dexamethasone for relapsed myeloma
This trial studies whether a combination of three medicines (leflunomide, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone) can better treat multiple myeloma that has come back or stopped responding. It may help people who are not good candidates for transplant and who have measurable disease.
Huntington Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05363111RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a targeted radioactive drug for relapsed myeloma
This Phase 1 study tests a targeted radioactive medicine made from daratumumab plus a radioactive payload, aiming to treat multiple myeloma that has come back or doesn’t respond to treatment. It’s designed mainly to check safety and how the treatment works in people who have had several prior therapies.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06356571RecruitingPhase 2
Isatuximab with carfilzomib and dexamethasone for multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (isatuximab, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone) given as shots under the skin for people whose multiple myeloma has come back or stopped responding to treatment. It aims to see if this mix works better than previous options.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04566328RecruitingPhase 3
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma test of combination therapy
This Phase 3 trial tests a combination treatment approach for adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, focusing on response and deeper remission. It may help by improving how well the disease is controlled early and measuring results beyond standard tests.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03858205Recruiting
Low-dose radiation to relieve pain from bone tumors
This trial studies whether low-dose radiation can reduce pain from a specific bone lesion caused by multiple myeloma. It may help people whose main problem is painful bone metastasis, with targeted treatment to the painful spot.
Los Angeles, 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+ - NCT05561387RecruitingPhase 3
Drug combinations for newly diagnosed myeloma without transplant
This study compares different combinations of medicines for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who cannot safely get a stem cell transplant. It aims to find which drug plan works best and is tolerable for people with “frail” or “intermediate fit” health.
Merced, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07665307Recruiting
Delayed side effects after CAR-T for multiple myeloma
This study looks at late side effects that may happen after CAR-T therapy (cilta-cel) for multiple myeloma. It aims to better understand these delayed toxicities so doctors can manage them more effectively.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06580002RecruitingPhase 2
Can Riluzole Help with Chemo Brain? A Pilot Study
This study tests if a medicine called riluzole (currently used for ALS) can help with 'chemo brain' – memory and thinking problems after cancer treatment. It is for people who feel their mental sharpness has declined after breast cancer therapy, certain chemotherapies, or brain radiation.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04634552RecruitingPhase 2
Talquetamab study for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
This trial studies talquetamab, a medicine given to treat multiple myeloma that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink tumors and improve disease control, depending on how your myeloma measures and your health status.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04988555RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an investigational drug for high-risk acute leukemia
This Phase 1/2 study tests enzomenib (DSP-5336) in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute leukemia (and, in some places, certain other blood cancers). The goal is to see how the drug works and how safe it is, especially for leukemia cases with specific genetic changes (KMT2A/MLL or NPM1).
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05201781RecruitingPhase 4

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.
