Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05476770RecruitingPhase 1
Tagraxofusp for children with CD123-positive leukemia
This study tests tagraxofusp, a medicine that targets a marker called CD123 on cancer cells, in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or is resistant to treatment. It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies have not worked.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT05734066RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lurbinectedin drug study for young people with Ewing sarcoma
This trial tests lurbinectedin, a cancer medicine, by itself (no other drugs) in children and young adults whose Ewing sarcoma has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to see how safe the drug is and whether it can help control the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 2–30 - NCT05735184RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with AML medicines for NPM1- or KMT2A-mutated leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and tolerable ziftomenib is when combined with standard AML medicines (like venetoclax and azacitidine, and other chemo options) in people with AML. It’s for AML patients who have specific genetic changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) and helps doctors find the best, safest dose plan.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05794958RecruitingPhase 1
Safety of second CAR-T re-infusion for hard-to-treat lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests whether a second re-infusion of axicabtagene ciloleucel (CAR-T) is safe in people with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that came back or did not respond after standard second-line CAR-T. It may help some patients by trying to improve disease control while carefully monitoring side effects.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05826535RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test of CAR T-cell therapy for aggressive B-cell lymphoma
This Phase 1/2 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (CAR T cells) made from your own blood cells to treat aggressive large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or didn’t respond. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether this treatment is safe and can shrink lymphoma.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT06054776RecruitingPhase 2
Acalabrutinib, obinutuzumab, and glofitamab for mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of three targeted drugs for mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to prior treatment. It aims to see if this new drug cocktail can work better than standard options.

Glofitamab and pirtobrutinib for relapsed mantle cell lymphoma
This study tests a combination of two drugs—glofitamab (given as an infusion) and pirtobrutinib (a pill)—for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to previous treatment. The goal is to see if the combo works better than either drug alone.
Davis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06292780RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing linvoseltamab for AL amyloidosis that came back
This trial tests a new drug called linvoseltamab for people with AL amyloidosis that has returned or is not responding to treatment. It aims to see if the drug is safe and helps control the disease.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06922539RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental drug ST-001 nanoFenretinide for small cell lung cancer
This phase 1 trial tests an experimental drug called ST-001 nanoFenretinide for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned or not responded to standard chemotherapy. The drug is a newer form of fenretinide, which is related to vitamin A, and may work differently to attack cancer cells.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06382168RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
DFP-10917 plus venetoclax for AML that has returned or not improved
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, DFP-10917 and venetoclax, for people with AML that has returned or not improved after previous treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the leukemia.

Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05139017RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test drug Zilovertamab vedotin with standard care for lymphoma
This trial studies zilovertamab vedotin added to standard chemotherapy for people with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It may help by targeting lymphoma cells and improving how well standard treatment works after prior treatments have failed.

Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - 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.

What taking part in a relapsed or 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.

Common questions
- Are there relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 192 recruiting relapsed or refractory multiple 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 relapsed or refractory multiple 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 relapsed or refractory multiple 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.
