Plasma Cell Myeloma clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 14 recruiting plasma cell myeloma studies with a site in California — including Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- 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.
Arroyo Grande, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03937635RecruitingPhase 3
Lenalidomide and dexamethasone, with or without daratumumab
This phase 3 trial studies whether lenalidomide plus dexamethasone can prevent or delay progression of “high-risk smoldering” multiple myeloma, and whether adding daratumumab improves outcomes. It’s meant for people who are not yet showing symptoms, but whose lab and scan results suggest higher risk.
Arroyo Grande, 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+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Arroyo Grande, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - 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+ - 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 - NCT05892393RecruitingPhase 1
Scan test to find CD46-positive multiple myeloma lesions
This Phase 1 study tests a new special scan marker (a radioactive imaging agent) to see whether it can detect certain multiple myeloma spots in the body. If it works, it may help doctors better locate disease using a PET-style scan.
San Francisco, 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+ - 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 - NCT06461988RecruitingPhase 2
Talquetamab and lenalidomide after stem cell transplant for myeloma
This trial tests combining two drugs, talquetamab and lenalidomide, as maintenance therapy after a stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma. The goal is to see if this combination helps keep the cancer from coming back.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06679101RecruitingPhase 3
Belantamab combination vs standard care for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new drug combination (belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone) against the usual treatment for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who cannot have a stem cell transplant. It aims to see if the new combination works better.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07391657RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new CAR-T therapy to standard treatments for multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new dual-targeted cell therapy (AZD0120) against standard regimens for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to see if the new therapy works better than standard options.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07110636Recruiting
Blood test for infection in immunocompromised adults
This trial tests a blood test that looks for infection by analyzing tiny bits of DNA from microbes. It may help find infections faster in people with weakened immune systems, such as transplant recipients or those with blood cancers.

What taking part in a plasma cell 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 plasma cell myeloma clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 14 recruiting plasma cell 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 plasma cell 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 plasma cell 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 plasma cell 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.
