We’re tracking 79 recruiting multiple myeloma studies with a site in California — including Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06500884RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing mouth problems from GPRC5D therapy in myeloma
This study tests a preventive treatment for mouth or taste problems that can be caused by a newer type of multiple myeloma therapy. It aims to help people who have already tried several standard treatments and whose disease is still active.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06582017RecruitingPhase 1
Study of QXL138AM for advanced solid tumors and multiple myeloma
This trial tests an investigational drug called QXL138AM for people with advanced solid tumors or multiple myeloma that has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Newport, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07149857RecruitingPhase 2
A study of CAR-T therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
This trial tests a one-time cell therapy called ciltacabtagene autoleucel (a CAR-T treatment) in people who have newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and are not eligible for a stem cell transplant. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective as an early therapy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT00900198Recruiting
Give cancer tissue samples to help future cancer research
This study collects tissue or other cancer-related samples to help researchers better understand cancer and develop better tests or treatments. You can join if you are being evaluated for or treated for cancer, and you agree to let your samples be used for research.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 2 months+ - 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.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT02693535RecruitingPhase 2
Match FDA cancer drugs to a tumor gene change
This trial tests FDA-approved cancer medicines in people with advanced cancer whose tumor has a specific gene or protein abnormality. It tries to see whether targeting that tumor “fingerprint” can help when standard treatments no longer work.
Walnut Creek, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05332054Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up after prior Caribou treatment
This study checks your health over time after you previously took a Caribou medicine (or got it through a special access program). It helps researchers learn what happens in the longer run after the treatment.

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 79 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.
