Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT05746897RecruitingPhase 1
First-in-human test of an anti-PVRIG drug for advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests NM1F (an anti-PVRIG antibody) in people with advanced solid tumors to see if it’s safe and whether it may work. It also includes pembrolizumab (a PD-1 “checkpoint” medicine), aiming to boost the immune system against the cancer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07763197Recruiting
Sample collection for bladder cancer research
This study is collecting blood, urine, and tissue samples from people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer to help develop better tests for tracking the disease. By participating, you might help improve future monitoring and treatment decisions.

Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07513116Recruiting
Intermittent fasting for people at high risk of pancreatic cancer
This study tests whether following an intermittent fasting schedule (eating only during certain hours) can help people at high risk for pancreatic cancer. The trial uses an app to track eating patterns and fasting times, aiming to see if this approach may reduce cancer risk.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07509008RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune cells in the belly for stomach cancer spread
This trial tests a new type of immune cell (called a CAR NK cell) given directly into the belly, along with standard surgery and chemotherapy, for stomach cancer that has spread to the belly lining. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and can help control the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07499674RecruitingPhase 3

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.

Common questions
- Are there cancer clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 1,482 recruiting 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 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 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 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.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
