Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT05489211RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 2 study tests the drug Dato-DXd (alone or with other cancer medicines) in people with advanced solid tumors. It looks for tumor shrinkage and how safely the treatment can be given.
Houston, TexasAges 18–130 - NCT05320588RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early test of a cancer treatment for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a new treatment in people with advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) solid tumors that have worsened or cannot be treated with standard therapies. It may help shrink tumors or slow growth, and it also helps doctors learn the safest way to use the medicine.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05327010RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug combination for advanced solid tumors
This trial is studying whether a new combination of two cancer drugs, ZEN003694 and talazoparib, can help people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. Talazoparib is a type of drug that targets cancer cells with certain DNA repair problems. The study is divided into groups based on specific gene mutations or previous treatment responses.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05379985RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug RMC-6236 for certain RAS mutations in advanced cancers
This trial tests whether RMC-6236 can treat advanced solid tumors that have specific RAS-related gene changes (especially certain KRAS G12 mutations). You may be able to join if your tumor’s DNA test shows the right mutation and your overall health is good enough for study visits.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05379595RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

What taking part in a advanced cancer 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.
