Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06393374RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug combination for residual TNBC after initial treatment
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab) compared to standard chemotherapy for people with triple-negative breast cancer that did not fully respond to initial treatment. It aims to see if this combination helps prevent cancer from coming back.
Abilene, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05768139RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new targeted drug for advanced solid tumors with PI3Kα mutation
This trial tests tersolisib, a new targeted medicine, in adults with advanced or hard-to-remove solid cancers. It focuses on tumors that have a specific genetic change (PI3Kα mutation) to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05693766RecruitingPhase 2
Gene test guides treatment for hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial studies whether a gene-signature test can help guide treatment choices for people with hormone receptor–positive (ER and/or PR) breast cancer that has spread or can’t be fully removed. It may help find the best therapy approach after prior hormone therapy and targeted cancer medicine.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05232916RecruitingPhase 3
Vaccine for HER2-positive breast cancer after standard treatment
This trial tests a vaccine (GLSI-100) that may help prevent the return of HER2-positive breast cancer. It is given to patients who still had cancer cells after initial treatment with trastuzumab, or who had stage III disease and achieved a complete response.
Austin, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT04614194RecruitingPhase 2
Blood and tumor markers to test response to abemaciclib
This trial studies how the immune system and other body signals in blood and tumor tissue relate to how well abemaciclib works before breast cancer surgery. The goal is to learn who benefits most from this medicine and why.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04265872RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Bortezomib then pembrolizumab and cisplatin for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This early-phase trial tests a new treatment plan for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer that has already been treated with standard chemotherapy. It aims to see how well the combination works and whether it’s safe.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03934905RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sulforaphane supplement to protect the heart during doxorubicin
This trial tests whether a nutritional supplement called sulforaphane (SFN) can help protect heart function in people with breast cancer who are receiving doxorubicin (a chemotherapy that can affect the heart). Participants take caplets and have heart and safety monitoring to see if the supplement reduces heart-related side effects.
Lubbock, TexasAges 18–89 - NCT03796559Recruiting
Magnetic marker helps find breast cancer lymph nodes
This study uses a tiny magnetic marker (called Magseed) placed in a breast cancer–affected underarm lymph node, then tracks whether surgeons can find and remove the correct nodes after chemotherapy. It may help reduce the chance of missing cancer in the underarm while aiming for more accurate surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03562273Recruiting
GammaPod planning study for breast cancer quality of life
This study looks at how GammaPod radiation planning after a lumpectomy affects quality of life and comfort. Your doctors will use imaging and a structured plan to help predict outcomes and refine care.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05524480Enrolling by invitation
Help Latina women get overdue breast, cervical care
This trial tests an implementation program that helps clinics better provide breast and cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination to Latina women who are behind on recommended care. It may help you catch up on screening or start HPV vaccination and connect you to low-cost services.
Houston, TexasAges 18–74 - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test to catch cancer early after treatment
This study looks for signs of cancer left in the body after treatment using a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy). It aims to see if the test can catch cancer that might come back earlier than regular scans.
Edinburg, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04606030Recruiting
Tested lymph surgery for breast-cancer–related arm swelling
This trial studies a specialized lymph surgery (called VLNT, moving lymph tissue) to treat swelling in an arm caused by breast cancer treatment. It may help reduce lymphedema that doesn’t fully improve with compression and elevation.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07114601RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LY4257496 for people with GRPR-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, LY4257496, in people with certain types of cancer that have a protein called GRPR on their cells. The study aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06373354Recruiting
Comparing 3D mammogram machines for breast cancer screening
This trial compares two types of digital breast tomosynthesis (3D mammogram) systems to see which one makes breast masses and distortions easier to see. If you are a woman getting a routine screening mammogram, you may be able to join.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT07454642RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AVA6103 for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug may help by targeting a protein on cancer cells and interfering with their ability to multiply.
Irving, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06711965Recruiting
Custom molds for breast reconstruction shaping
This trial tests custom 3D-printed molds to help shape breast tissue during reconstruction. It is for people who are already planning a DIEP or TRAM flap after mastectomy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05056818Recruiting
Compare two types of breast X-ray images for reading accuracy
This study compares a computer-generated (“synthetic”) mammogram to the standard full-field digital mammogram to see which gives better image-reading results. It may help improve how breast images are interpreted in everyday practice.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03408353Recruiting
MERIT study uses mammogram and blood tests to assess breast cancer risk
This study looks for signs in blood samples and imaging that may help estimate breast cancer risk earlier. You would do a mammogram and give blood at the start and then again at yearly follow-up visits.
Houston, TexasAges 25–80 - NCT04003038Recruiting
Negative pressure wound dressings after breast reconstruction in obesity
This trial tests whether a special “suction” dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after breast reconstruction using tissue from the belly, especially in people with higher body weight. You may be more likely to benefit if you’re at higher risk for wound problems after abdominal flap surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05978141Recruiting
T-cell lymphoma registry study
This study creates a registry for people with certain T-cell or NK-cell lymphomas. It collects health information and tumor samples to learn more about these diseases and improve future treatments.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT04895709RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests how well a new drug (BMS-986340) works alone and combined with other treatments in people with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard care. It also studies tumor samples to look for biomarkers that may predict who benefits.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03604315RecruitingPhase 1
PET/CT scan testing a new radioactive tracer for tumors
This early-phase study uses PET/CT scans to see how well a new radioactive tracer (a tiny dose of a special material) highlights solid tumors in the body. It may help researchers learn whether this tracer can better find and track tumor spots seen on standard scans.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00991094Recruiting

What taking part in a breast 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.
