Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT07216105RecruitingPhase 1
FT836 immune cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new immune cell therapy called FT836, given alone or with chemotherapy or other antibodies, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps shrink or control tumors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07262619RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of EIK1005 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called EIK1005, either alone or combined with another drug (pembrolizumab), for people with advanced solid tumors, especially those with MSI-H or dMMR cancers (tumors that have trouble repairing their DNA). The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
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.
Houston, TexasAges 16 years+ - NCT02596490Recruiting
Couple meditation program for metastatic lung cancer and partners
This study tests whether a couple-based meditation program can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their romantic partners cope better during treatment. It looks at the experience of both the patient and their partner, not just the patient alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03161522RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo alone versus with radiation or surgery for limited spread
This study tests whether adding radiation or surgery to chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people whose esophageal or stomach cancer has spread to only a few places. If your cancer is “oligometastatic” (up to 3 spots), the trial helps doctors see which approach gives the best control.
Houston, TexasAges 18–79 - NCT02926690RecruitingPhase 1
MELK inhibitor safety study for advanced breast cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how safe a drug called an MELK inhibitor is in people with advanced breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. If you qualify, the study is focused on side effects and includes a special group for triple-negative breast cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05323409Recruiting
Better overall care for certain cancer patients
This study looks at how to improve day-to-day support and coordination between cancer doctors and primary care doctors for people with certain early cancers. It may help if you have other ongoing health problems (like diabetes or high blood pressure) or lifestyle factors that need ongoing management during cancer treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03051464RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing two ways to boost radiation to prevent rectal surgery
This study looks at whether two different added “boosts” of radiation can work as well for rectal cancer patients, aiming to avoid or reduce the need for rectal cancer surgery. You would receive a specific combination of radiation (including brachytherapy) and chemotherapy, and your tumor’s location and size will determine if you can take part.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06162221RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of RAS inhibitors for advanced RAS-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests new drugs that target specific RAS mutations in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people whose cancer has a KRAS G12C, G12D, or other RAS mutation and who have already tried standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07461493Recruiting
Cancer health disparities registry and biorepository
This study collects information and blood samples to understand why cancer affects different groups of people differently. By joining, you help researchers find better ways to prevent and treat cancer for everyone.
Houston, TexasAges 35 years+ - NCT06060613RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
OBX-115 cell therapy for advanced melanoma or lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called OBX-115 for people with advanced melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells to fight the cancer. The study aims to see if it is safe and effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03460977RecruitingPhase 1
Mevrometostat trial for hormone-resistant prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests mevrometostat (PF 06821497) in people with castration-resistant prostate cancer to see if it’s safe and how the body responds to it. It may be an option if your cancer is no longer controlled by hormone therapy and your organ health tests are within limits.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06369246RecruitingPhase 2
Five-session radiation for advanced prostate cancer
This trial is testing a shorter course of radiation therapy (5 sessions instead of many) for men with prostate cancer that is at a higher risk but hasn't spread. The goal is to see if fewer, higher-dose treatments work as well while being more convenient.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05205343Recruiting
Compare minimally invasive and full stomach surgery for upper cancer
This study compares two minimally invasive ways to operate on the stomach area for cancers near the stomach and esophagus (GEJ). It looks at whether one surgical approach is better for long-term outcomes when the goal is cure.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07480356RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new bladder cancer treatment (TARA-002) vs standard chemo
This trial compares a new medicine called TARA-002, given directly into the bladder, to the doctor's choice of standard chemotherapy. It is for people with a high-grade, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has not been treated with BCG or has not had BCG recently.
Arlington, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07306559RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests different doses of a new drug (BI 3820768) in people with advanced solid tumors, specifically germ cell tumors, endometrial cancer, or ovarian cancer. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.

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.
