Irvine, 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+ - 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.
Alhambra, 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.

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.
