Recruiting studies in Texas
- 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.
Amarillo, TexasAges 40–75 - NCT04879043RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety study of HDP-101 for relapsed myeloma patients
This early-phase trial tests whether HDP-101 is safe and can potentially help adults with multiple myeloma that has come back or didn’t respond to standard treatments. It focuses on people who have already tried key myeloma medicines and still have measurable disease.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Bryan, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05011045Recruiting
Brain radiation study tracking thinking and memory changes
This study looks at how whole-brain radiation affects thinking, memory, and other brain function in people with blood cancers that involve the brain. It may help doctors understand what to expect and which supportive treatments or monitoring could be useful.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05336383RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation after prior CAR T for relapsed multiple myeloma
This trial tests giving “salvage” radiation (radiation meant to control remaining cancer) after you’ve already had BCMA CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma. It’s for people whose PET or other scan still shows active myeloma at least 30 days after CAR-T, and who have a spot that radiation can target.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
San Antonio, TexasAges Any age - NCT06536413RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ATRA and Carfilzomib for multiple myeloma
This trial tests if combining the drug ATRA with carfilzomib can help people with multiple myeloma whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to at least three prior treatments, including carfilzomib. The goal is to see if this new combination works better than carfilzomib alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02727803RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized natural killer cell therapy for blood cancers
This trial tests a customized immune-cell treatment (NK cells) for certain blood cancers to try to control or eliminate cancer cells. You may qualify if your cancer has come back, did not fully respond, or has higher risk features.
Houston, TexasAges 15–80 - NCT05092451RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CD70-targeting NK cell therapy for blood cancer relapse
This study tests an immune therapy made from cord blood “NK cells” that are engineered to attack cells with a marker called CD70. It’s given after chemotherapy that reduces your blood and immune system, aiming to treat relapse or refractory (not responding) blood cancers.
Houston, TexasAges 12–80 - NCT02726750Recruiting
Study of early plasma cell blood conditions before myeloma
This is an observational study that follows people with early blood findings that can be linked to multiple myeloma, to understand what happens over time. It does not test a new drug for most people; instead, it tracks health, lab results, and imaging to learn who may develop myeloma.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05136807Recruiting
Quality of life study for people with MGUS or smoldering myeloma
This study looks at how patients feel day to day (quality of life) while they are monitored or treated for MGUS or smoldering multiple myeloma. It is designed for people who do NOT yet have “myeloma defining events” or amyloidosis, because the goal is to understand well-being in earlier disease stages.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - 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.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06974786RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell engager vs stem cell transplant for newly diagnosed myeloma
This trial compares two approaches after initial therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: a T-cell engager (elranatamab) versus a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see which provides better control of the disease, using sensitive MRD testing to guide further treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 19 years+ - NCT05091372RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance treatment after transplant for newly diagnosed myeloma
This trial tests whether using belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide as long-term maintenance after an autologous stem cell transplant can keep multiple myeloma under control, guided by minimal residual disease (MRD). MRD is a very small amount of disease that may remain after transplant, and the study helps see if treating those patients better improves outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06066359RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cord blood NK cells for NY-ESO-1 positive myeloma
This trial tests a new treatment using cord blood immune cells (NK cells) that are specially designed to target a protein called NY-ESO-1 found on myeloma cells. It is for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to at least two previous treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - 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.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06207799RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo before and after transplant for high-risk myeloma
This trial tests a two-step approach for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk multiple myeloma who are eligible for a stem cell transplant. You'll get a drug called elranatamab before transplant to 'purge' the cancer, and then after transplant, you'll get maintenance therapy guided by how well your cancer is controlled. The goal is to see if this reduces the chance of the cancer coming back.

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.
