This Phase 1 trial tests a new experimental drug (PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V) in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment or can’t use it. It is designed to see how the drug works and how safe it is, with a focus on tumors that have PD-L1 seen on prior lab testing.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06494111RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing neck swelling after radiation for throat cancer
This study tests two medicines—pravastatin (a statin) and a combination of pentoxifylline and Vitamin E—to see if they can prevent long-term swelling (lymphedema) and scarring in the neck after radiation therapy for throat cancer. Participants receive one of the medicines daily for 2 years, and regular scans help monitor any changes.

Combination gemcitabine and nab-sirolimus for advanced sarcoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—gemcitabine (a chemotherapy drug) and nab-sirolimus (a targeted therapy)—for people with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma or leiomyosarcoma, especially those whose tumors have a specific genetic change in the TSC2 or TSC1 genes. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07454642RecruitingPhase 1
AVA6103 for advanced FAP-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AVA6103 for certain advanced cancers that show a protein called FAP. It is for people who have already tried other treatments or cannot take them, and aims to see if the drug is safe and helps shrink tumors.

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.

Common questions
- Are there advanced cancer clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 407 recruiting advanced cancer studies with a site in Texas, 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 advanced cancer study in Texas?
- 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 Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, 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 advanced cancer 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.
Not the right time?
New advanced cancer studies open in Texas regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
