Multiple myeloma clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 84 recruiting multiple myeloma studies with a site in California — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- 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 - 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.
Los Angeles, 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+ - 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+ - NCT05887167RecruitingPhase 1
Test safety of making CAR T cells from your own blood
This Phase 1 study looks at whether it is safe and practical to collect your own stem cells and use them to support CAR T-cell therapy for certain blood cancers that have come back or did not respond. It aims to find the best way to combine these steps, which may help some people receive CAR T treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40 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.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05201781RecruitingPhase 4
Long-term follow-up for people previously treated with cilta-cel
This study follows people over time who previously received cilta-cel in a Janssen-sponsored clinical trial. It helps doctors learn about how well the treatment works and how safe it is in the long run.
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+ - 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+ - NCT02693535RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug testing for advanced cancer with tumor gene changes
This trial tests whether FDA-approved targeted drugs can help people with advanced cancer whose tumors have specific gene changes. It aims to match your tumor's unique genetic profile to a drug that may work better for you.
Auburn, CaliforniaAges 12 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.

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.
