Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05342454Recruiting
Brain tumor surgery patients using brain scan and mapping software
This study checks a new computer software tool that helps doctors map important brain networks and how blood flow responds during brain scans. It may help improve planning and safety for people having brain tumor surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05361551Recruiting
Test-guided liver ablation for up to five colorectal metastases
This study tests a planning and confirmation software tool during a needle-based liver procedure to treat colorectal cancer metastases. It aims to help doctors cover tumors more completely while reducing the chance of leaving tumor tissue behind.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05372484Recruiting
Test technology to improve cervical cancer screening and diagnosis

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05406232Recruiting
Radiation study to track immune changes in breast cancer
This study gives a short course of radiation to the breast or chest wall and measures how your immune system responds. It may help doctors better understand which immune changes happen after radiation and how this could improve palliative (symptom-relieving) care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05536349RecruitingPhase 2
Testing three drug combo for untreated CLL or CLL-related cancer
This Phase 2 study tests pirtobrutinib plus venetoclax plus obinutuzumab in people with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or CLL-related Richter transformation (RT). The goal is to see if this “triplet” combination works better and is safe enough to control the disease.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05360160RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral menin inhibitor plus AML medicines for new or relapsed AML
This trial tests an all-pill (oral) combination treatment—menin inhibitor SNDX-5613 plus decitabine/cedazuridine (ASTX727) and venetoclax—for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It’s designed for people who are newly diagnosed and can’t get the strongest chemotherapy, or for certain other AML groups who may still benefit.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT05336383RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation after prior CAR T for relapsed multiple myeloma
This trial tests giving “salvage” radiation (radiation meant to control remaining cancer) after you’ve already had BCMA CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma. It’s for people whose PET or other scan still shows active myeloma at least 30 days after CAR-T, and who have a spot that radiation can target.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05431270RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug that targets CD73, alone or with immunotherapy
This early-stage study tests mavrostobart (an anti-CD73 antibody) to see what dose is safe and whether it can help shrink tumors. It’s studied by itself and also with a PD-1 immune therapy or chemotherapy, depending on your cancer type and prior treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05343013RecruitingPhase 2
TAS-102 with or without celecoxib for leftover colon cancer DNA
This Phase 2 study tests TAS-102, with or without celecoxib, to treat “minimal residual disease” (tiny traces of colon cancer) found in a blood test after standard chemotherapy. The goal is to reduce the chance that colon cancer returns after treatment.
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+ - NCT05294302Recruiting
Online support program for cancer parents in English or Spanish
This trial tests an online (e-health) counseling and support program for parents of children with cancer. It may help you feel better supported and more informed while caring for your child.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05422911RecruitingPhase 2
Abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide for early castration prostate cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide can work better (or differently) in men with prostate cancer that is considered “castration-sensitive.” It compares these hormone-blocking treatments to find an approach that controls the cancer more effectively and safely.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05526989RecruitingPhase 2
Dostarlimab plus niraparib for advanced penile cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining dostarlimab (an immunotherapy) with niraparib (a cancer pill) can shrink advanced penile cancer and keep it from growing. It may help people whose cancer has progressed after limited prior treatments, and who have not had certain immune therapies before.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05379595RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Amivantamab for advanced colon or rectal cancer with specific tumor traits
This Phase 1/2 study tests amivantamab alone or combined with standard chemotherapy to treat advanced or metastatic colon or rectal cancer. You may be able to join if your tumor has the right genetic profile (typically “wild-type” for certain genes and no HER2 amplification) and your cancer has measurable or biopsy-able lesions.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05451004RecruitingPhase 3
SPECT-CT test to target neck radiation on one side
This study tests whether using a special scan (SPECT-CT) can guide radiation treatment to only the safer/needed side of the neck in people with a one-sided oropharyngeal cancer. It aims to keep cancer control while potentially reducing side effects from unnecessary radiation.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05357794RecruitingPhase 2
Skin-directed radiation plus brentuximab for lymphoma skin disease
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving very low-dose total-skin electron beam radiation at the same time as brentuximab vedotin can control mycosis fungoides (a lymphoma that affects the skin). It’s for people whose disease has returned or hasn’t responded to prior treatment, especially if the tumor marker CD30 is present.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05281471RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with bevacizumab
This Phase 3 trial tests a treatment made of an investigational gene-based drug plus standard “platinum” chemotherapy and bevacizumab, compared with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab. It’s for ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancers that have not responded to platinum chemotherapy or came back quickly.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05488548RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug that blocks BET and CBP/p300 in advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests an investigational medicine that targets BET and CBP/p300 to try to slow or control advanced, hard-to-treat cancers. You may be eligible if you have certain prostate cancer or NUT midline carcinoma, or specific blood cancers like CMML or myelofibrosis (MF), and your body functions are strong enough for chemotherapy-style treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05538130RecruitingPhase 1
Study medicine for BRAF-mutated advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies how PF-07799544 works and what dose is safest in people with advanced cancer that has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600. You may receive it alone or with another treatment, depending on the tumor group, to see if it can treat the cancer.

What taking part in a 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.
