Astrocytoma clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 14 recruiting astrocytoma studies with a site in Texas — including Early Phase 1, Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT05303519RecruitingPhase 3
Safusidenib for IDH1-mutant glioma after main treatment
This Phase 3 trial tests safusidenib, a targeted medicine, to help stop or slow the return of certain brain tumors with an IDH1 mutation. It focuses on people after initial treatment (surgery and/or radiation and temozolomide), aiming to improve outcomes during maintenance therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05879367RecruitingPhase 1
Eflornithine plus temozolomide for newly diagnosed brain cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies whether adding eflornithine to temozolomide (chemotherapy) is safe and potentially helpful for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma or certain astrocytomas after radiation. It aims to find a workable treatment approach by closely monitoring side effects and early tumor responses.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06161974RecruitingPhase 2
Olutasidenib and temozolomide for IDH1-mutant high-grade glioma
This trial tests a combination of two oral medications, olutasidenib and temozolomide, for people with a specific type of aggressive brain tumor (high-grade glioma) that has an IDH1 mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the tumor after standard treatment like radiation.
Houston, TexasAges 12–39 - NCT04166409RecruitingPhase 3
Selumetinib versus chemo for low-grade brain tumor in children
This trial studies whether the targeted drug selumetinib works better than standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and vincristine) for children and young adults with a specific type of low-grade glioma (grade 1 or 2). It may help shrink tumors and slow growth while comparing side effects between the two treatment approaches.
Austin, TexasAges 2–21 - NCT03911388RecruitingPhase 1
HSV G207 for Children with Recurrent Cerebellar Brain Tumors
This trial is testing a virus called HSV G207, which is injected directly into the tumor, to treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor in the cerebellum that has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 3–22 - NCT06047379RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing NEO212 for brain tumors and metastases
This trial tests a new drug called NEO212 for people with certain brain tumors (like astrocytoma or glioblastoma) or cancer that has spread to the brain from other parts of the body. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help shrink or control the tumors.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04623931RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and radiation for IDH-wildtype glioma
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of chemotherapy and radiation after surgery for certain brain tumors that are “IDH wildtype.” It aims to control the tumor and improve outcomes for people with specific types of glioma or glioblastoma.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03596086RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug plus radiation and chemo for recurrent brain cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether combining an HSV-tk “gene switch” treatment, valacyclovir tablets, focused radiation (SBRT), and chemotherapy can help people with recurrent glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma. It may help shrink tumors or slow growth after standard treatments have already been tried.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03603405RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test vaccine and radiation with chemotherapy for new brain tumor
This trial studies a gene-based treatment (HSV-tk) given with radiation and chemotherapy for people newly diagnosed with glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma. It may help the new brain tumor respond better to standard treatments, though risks and benefits are still being tested.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03896568RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of stem cell therapy for recurrent high-grade brain tumors
This Phase 1 study tests an advanced stem-cell treatment (hMSC-DNX2401) for recurrent high-grade glioma, including certain brain tumor types that come back. It aims to see if the treatment can be safely delivered and whether it can help control the tumor after standard therapies have already been tried.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05765812RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Debio 0123 with temozolomide for recurrent or new glioblastoma
This early-phase study tests Debio 0123 (an anticancer medicine) combined with temozolomide, and for newly diagnosed patients also with radiation. It aims to see whether this treatment combination can slow or control glioblastoma in adults.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05839379Recruiting
Targeted therapy study for children and young adults with brain tumors
This trial studies a targeted medicine approach for high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) and some diffuse midline tumors, including DIPG. It may help by matching treatment to tumor biology using tumor testing done before or around starting standard therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 1–39 - NCT05843253RecruitingPhase 2
Ribociclib plus everolimus or temozolomide for certain brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests ribociclib with either everolimus or temozolomide, depending on the specific brain tumor type. It may help slow tumor growth in children and young adults whose tumor has specific genetic changes and who have had recent standard radiation therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 1–39 - NCT06333899RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Lorlatinib for newly diagnosed brain tumors with ROS or ALK fusion
This trial tests if lorlatinib, a targeted pill, can shrink or slow the growth of high-grade brain tumors that have a specific ROS or ALK genetic change. It is for children and young adults who have not yet had treatment for their tumor.

What taking part in a astrocytoma 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 astrocytoma clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 14 recruiting astrocytoma 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 astrocytoma 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 astrocytoma 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 astrocytoma 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.
