Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02343042RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Selinexor with standard therapies for multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new drug called selinexor (KPT-330) combined with various standard treatments for patients whose multiple myeloma has come back or stopped responding to therapy. The goal is to see if adding selinexor helps control the cancer better than current options, and to find the safest dose for different drug pairings.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07409246RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ABBV-438 for multiple myeloma patients
This trial tests a new intravenous treatment, ABBV-438, for adults with multiple myeloma that has returned or not responded to prior therapies. It aims to see if the drug is safe, tolerable, and how it moves through the body.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03110822RecruitingPhase 1
Ruxolitinib, steroids, and lenalidomide for hard-to-treat myeloma
This Phase 1 trial tests a combination of ruxolitinib plus steroids and lenalidomide in people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. It’s designed for patients who have had at least two prior treatment options and whose myeloma is getting worse or not responding.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07073547RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AZD0120 for multiple myeloma patients
This trial tests a new drug, AZD0120, in people with multiple myeloma. It aims to find the right dose and see how safe and effective it is. The study includes both newly diagnosed and early relapsed patients.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 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+ - NCT05137054RecruitingPhase 1
Linvoseltamab combo for hard-to-treat multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new drug called linvoseltamab combined with other cancer treatments for people with multiple myeloma that has stopped responding to standard therapies. It may be an option if you have already tried several treatments and are looking for a new approach.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06892522RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T cell therapies for multiple myeloma
This trial tests new antibody treatments for multiple myeloma, given alone or with other drugs. It aims to see if they can control the disease and what side effects might occur.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 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.
La Jolla, 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+ - 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.

What taking part in a refractory 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.
