Recruiting studies
- NCT05672251RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two antibody drugs for lymphoma that came back
This Phase 2 trial tests two targeted antibody medicines—loncastuximab tesirine and mosunetuzumab—in people whose diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or follicular lymphoma grade 3B has come back or did not respond. It aims to shrink lymphoma that has measurable disease and has specific markers (CD19 and CD20) on tumor cells.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05418088RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for hard-to-treat B-cell cancers
This Phase 1 study tests lab-made immune cells (CAR T-cells) that target CD19, CD20, and/or CD22 in people with certain relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers. It may help by attacking cancer cells that still carry these targets, but eligibility is very specific and includes prior treatments and health/lab requirements.
Columbus, OhioAges 2 years+ - NCT05272384RecruitingPhase 1
Testing nivolumab plus ASTX727 for hard-to-treat lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests whether adding ASTX727 to nivolumab can shrink relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphomas that have come back or did not respond to treatment. It also aims to find a safe dosing plan and see early signs of benefit in certain lymphoma types.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05077527RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T treatment for HIV and aggressive B-cell lymphoma
This trial studies a lab-made immune cell treatment (CAR-T) for adults who have HIV and aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to see if the treatment can control the lymphoma safely in this specific group.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04892277RecruitingPhase 1
CD19 CAR-T for adults with hard-to-treat B-cell cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a lab-made immune therapy (CD19 CAR-T) for adults whose B-cell cancers have come back or did not respond to treatment. It may help your immune system better recognize and attack cancer cells, but it is early research, so benefits and risks are still being defined.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04851119RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tegavivint for kids and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This early-phase study tests tegavivint to see how well it works and how safe it is for children and young adults with solid cancers that have come back or are not responding. It may be an option if your tumor type (including certain lymphomas or desmoid tumors) matches the study’s rules.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–30 - NCT04587687RecruitingPhase 2
Brentuximab plus bendamustine for relapsed follicular lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies the combination of brentuximab vedotin and bendamustine in people whose follicular lymphoma has come back or did not respond. It aims to shrink the lymphoma and improve outcomes after at least one prior treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04195633RecruitingPhase 2
Haploidentical donor stem cell transplant to treat blood cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a specific stem cell transplant method (from a related “half-matched” donor) plus conditioning chemo and radiation can improve outcomes for several blood cancers. It may help people whose cancer is in remission but still considered high risk, or those who have had limited response after prior treatment.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 6 months+ - NCT03618550RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma
This study tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab with a chemotherapy regimen called GVD for patients whose Hodgkin's lymphoma has not responded or has returned after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard approaches.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03418038RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin C with chemotherapy for lymphoma and blood disorders
This trial tests whether adding high-dose vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to standard chemotherapy helps treat lymphomas that have come back or not responded, as well as two related blood disorders (CCUS and CMML). The goal is to see if the vitamin C makes the chemo work better.
Mankato, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03136146RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo for return or non-responsive blood cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy plan for certain leukemia and lymphoma types that have come back or did not respond. It may help shrink or control disease when standard treatment is no longer working.
Houston, TexasAges 15 years+ - NCT03011814RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Durvalumab plus lenalidomide for relapsed T-cell lymphoma
This study tests a combination of two drugs—durvalumab (an immunotherapy) and lenalidomide (a targeted therapy)—to see if they are safe and effective for people with T-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to harness your immune system to fight the cancer while also attacking the cancer cells directly.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03017820RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine plus immune drugs for relapsed blood cancers
This early-phase trial tests a personalized-style vaccine (called VSV-hIFNβ-NIS) given alone or with other cancer-fighting medicines, including drugs that help the immune system attack. It is designed for people with certain relapsed or hard-to-treat multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, or lymphomas, to see if the treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06916767RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BAFF CAR-T cells for CLL or SLL
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (BAFF CAR-T cells) for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back or not responded after at least two prior treatments, including a BTK inhibitor and a BCL2 inhibitor. The goal is to see if these engineered cells can fight the cancer.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05963217RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a patient’s own CAR T cells for CD19 cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized form of CAR T cell treatment made from your own immune cells to fight certain CD19-positive blood cancers that have returned or not responded to prior treatment. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment can work.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05755087RecruitingPhase 1
Tegavivint for relapsed or hard-to-treat lymphoma patients
This Phase 1 trial tests tegavivint, a new investigational medicine, for certain types of aggressive B-cell lymphoma that have come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink the lymphoma and learn how safe and effective the drug is in this setting.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04871607RecruitingPhase 2
Yttrium antibody plus chemotherapy for hard-to-treat Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial studies a targeted antibody therapy with yttrium, combined with intensive chemotherapy, for adults whose Hodgkin lymphoma did not respond well or came back. It may help by delivering cancer-killing radiation directly to lymphoma cells and preparing the body for treatment after transplant conditioning.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05910801RecruitingPhase 2
Tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and venetoclax for relapsed lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies tafasitamab together with lenalidomide and venetoclax in people with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink the lymphoma and improve disease control when standard options have not worked.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06826118RecruitingPhase 2
Car t-cell therapy for relapsed follicular lymphoma

Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06675123RecruitingPhase 1
Pacritinib with a BTK inhibitor for mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new combination of two targeted drugs (pacritinib plus a BTK inhibitor like ibrutinib) for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or stopped responding to treatment. It may help if your current BTK inhibitor is no longer working well.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04989621RecruitingPhase 2
Orelabrutinib plus rituximab for relapsed follicular lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether orelabrutinib combined with rituximab, followed by orelabrutinib alone for a while, can control follicular lymphoma that has come back or did not respond. It may help shrink tumors and keep the disease from worsening after initial response.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04545762RecruitingPhase 1
Anti-CD19 CAR-T for certain relapsed lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests an anti-CD19 CAR-T cell treatment in adults with specific types of relapsed or treatment-resistant non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It may help by finding and attacking lymphoma cells that carry the CD19 marker, but it’s early-stage and eligibility is strict.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06386315RecruitingPhase 2
