Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05947851RecruitingPhase 3
Nemtabrutinib plus venetoclax versus standard add-on therapy
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding nemtabrutinib to venetoclax works better than the usual next treatment approach (venetoclax plus rituximab) in people with relapsed or treatment-resistant CLL/SLL. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds after at least one prior therapy.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07509151RecruitingPhase 3
Surovatamig after first treatment for CLL or SLL
This trial tests a new drug called surovatamig as a follow-up treatment for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have already completed their first round of therapy. The goal is to see if it helps keep the cancer from coming back.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–18 - NCT07221500RecruitingPhase 2
Study of NX-5948 for advanced CLL or SLL
This trial tests an experimental drug called NX-5948 for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back or not responded to prior treatments. It's for those who have already tried a BTK inhibitor and a BCL-2 inhibitor.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07220187RecruitingPhase 3
Adding pirtobrutinib to usual treatment for newly diagnosed Richter transformation
This study tests whether adding a targeted drug called pirtobrutinib to the usual chemotherapy for Richter transformation can improve outcomes. It is a phase 3 trial, meaning it compares the new combination to the standard approach, and may help patients live longer or delay progression.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07218510RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax, obinutuzumab, then epcoritamab for untreated CLL/SLL
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have not had treatment yet. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the disease with fewer side effects.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07061951RecruitingPhase 2
Mirdametinib for relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL
This trial tests a drug called mirdametinib for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments, including a BTK inhibitor and a BCL2 inhibitor. The goal is to see if mirdametinib can help shrink the cancer or slow its growth.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06973187RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drugs for CLL or SLL after prior treatment
This trial tests a new drug (BGB-16673) against another drug (pirtobrutinib) for people with CLL or SLL that hasn't responded to or has come back after a prior BTK inhibitor treatment. The goal is to see which drug is more effective and safe.
Los Alamitos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06943872RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing new treatments for relapsed CLL or SLL
This study tests a combination of sonrotoclax plus obinutuzumab or rituximab versus the current standard venetoclax plus rituximab for people whose CLL or SLL has come back or not responded to previous treatment. The goal is to see which approach helps keep the cancer from growing longer.
Laguna Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06859008RecruitingPhase 1
Zanubrutinib and sonrotoclax for B-cell lymphoma in diverse groups
This trial tests two targeted drugs, zanubrutinib and sonrotoclax, together for people with certain types of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It focuses on enrolling patients from racial and ethnic groups that are often underrepresented in research.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06846671RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for CLL or SLL
This trial tests a new investigational drug, BGB-16673, for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have already tried two types of treatments (BTK and BCL2 inhibitors). The goal is to see if this new drug works better than other available treatments chosen by the doctor.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06588478RecruitingPhase 2
Study of pirtobrutinib for CLL or SLL
This trial tests a new drug called pirtobrutinib for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It is for those whose cancer has come back or not responded to treatment, including a prior BTK inhibitor, and also for those who have never been treated but have a specific genetic change (17p deletion).
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533579RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for CD19-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new gene therapy treatment for people with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma that have the CD19 marker and have not responded to other treatments. The therapy uses a virus to deliver a gene to target and kill cancer cells.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 13–90 - NCT06520098RecruitingPhase 2
BTK inhibitor with or without venetoclax for CLL/SLL
This trial tests whether adding venetoclax to your current BTK inhibitor (like ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, or zanubrutinib) works better than taking the BTK inhibitor alone. It's for veterans with CLL or SLL who have been on a BTK inhibitor for at least six months and have not had their disease get worse on that therapy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06136559RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Nemtabrutinib vs ibrutinib or acalabrutinib for untreated CLL/SLL
This trial tests a new drug, nemtabrutinib, against two standard treatments for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if the new drug works better at controlling the disease.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05602363RecruitingPhase 1
Docirbrutinib for CLL or lymphoma after prior treatments
This Phase 1 study tests docirbrutinib, a targeted pill treatment, in people with CLL/SLL or certain other B-cell lymphomas that have come back or didn’t respond to earlier therapy. The goal is to see whether it’s safe and whether it can control the disease after standard treatments have failed.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05254743RecruitingPhase 3
Pirtobrutinib versus ibrutinib for CLL or SLL
This Phase 3 trial compares two oral medicines—pirtobrutinib and ibrutinib—in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who need treatment. It’s designed to see which drug works better and is easier to take, especially for people with a specific genetic change in the cancer (17p deletion).
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05131022RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NX-5948 for relapsed B-cell blood cancers

Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05006716RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New treatment for blood cancers that have returned
This trial tests a new pill, tacabrutideg, for blood cancers that have returned or not improved after earlier treatments. It may work for patients who have already tried a type of targeted therapy called a BTK inhibitor.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04830137RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug NX-2127 for hard-to-treat B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early effectiveness of NX-2127 in adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers. If you qualify, you may receive a new targeted treatment because your cancer has returned or not responded to prior therapies.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT04269902RecruitingPhase 3
Early treatment check for high-risk CLL/SLL
This Phase 3 trial studies an early treatment approach for people with high-risk CLL or SLL who have not yet needed standard therapy. It aims to see if treating earlier can improve outcomes while keeping side effects manageable.
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04728893RecruitingPhase 2
Nemtabrutinib for blood cancers after prior treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests nemtabrutinib (MK-1026), an oral medicine, in people with certain blood cancers that have come back or didn’t respond to earlier treatments. It aims to see how well the drug works and whether it is safe.

What taking part in a small lymphocytic lymphoma 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.
