Many mesons with properties incompatible with a cˉc structure have already been discovered, e.g. the Zc mesons with isospin 1. We investigate the spectrum of exotic charmonium-like mesons using lattice QCD. The focus is on cˉcqˉq states with JPC=1+± and isospin 1. This is the first study of four-quark states with these quantum numbers, a non-zero total momentum and two different lattice volumes. We extract the energy levels and determine the scattering length for DDˉ∗ scattering close to the threshold using L\"uscher's formalism. Our preliminary results show that the energy shifts for eigenstates dominated by DDˉ∗ are very small in the 1++ channel and consistent with zero in the 1+− channel.
