Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT05305924RecruitingPhase 2
Fulvestrant plus abemaciclib for ER+, HER2− advanced breast cancer

Study of FB849 for adults with measurable cancer lesions
This early-stage trial tests whether FB849 is safe and tolerable, how the body handles it, and whether it shows any early signs of helping cancer. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with at least one measurable tumor spot and your health tests meet study requirements.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07415005RecruitingPhase 2
Lorlatinib and local therapy for ALK-positive lung cancer
This study combines a daily targeted pill (lorlatinib) with a short course of radiation or surgery to treat ALK-positive lung cancer. The goal is to see if this two-step approach delays the cancer from growing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07105033Recruiting
Focused ACT for advanced cancer patients
This study tests a counseling program called Focused ACT (FACT) to help patients with advanced cancer cope with stress and death anxiety. It involves talking with a counselor about important areas of your life.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07407920RecruitingPhase 2
Optimizing treatment for early HER2+ and triple-negative breast cancer
This trial aims to see if patients who had a complete response to chemo before surgery can safely stop or reduce their targeted therapy afterward. It includes people with early-stage HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer who had no cancer cells left in the tissue removed at surgery (a pathological complete response).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07224152RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NBTXR3 plus radiation for inoperable lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called NBTXR3, which makes cancer cells more sensitive to radiation. You'll get one injection of NBTXR3 into your lung tumor, followed by standard radiation. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who cannot have surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07246954Recruiting
Spiritual care help for advanced cancer patients
This study tests a program where a chaplain and doctor work together to support your spiritual beliefs about medical care. The goal is to see if it helps patients with advanced cancer feel more at peace with their treatment choices.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07164456Recruiting
Family support program for Black prostate cancer survivors
This study tests a family-based program to help Black prostate cancer survivors and their caregivers live healthier. You and a family member will join together to improve diet, activity, and well-being.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors

Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05796375RecruitingPhase 2
Urine testing instead of repeat bladder scope checks
This Phase 2 study tests whether urine tests can help monitor “non-muscle-invasive” bladder cancer without doing as many invasive bladder scopes (cystoscopies). If you qualify, you may be able to replace some scope visits with urine sample testing while still keeping close watch for cancer coming back.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing
This study matches people with advanced solid tumors to targeted treatment plans based on genetic testing. It also requires tumor sample testing to help doctors choose the most promising therapy for your specific tumor changes.
Abilene, TexasAges Any age - NCT07185997RecruitingPhase 3
Testing firmonertinib for a type of lung cancer with rare EGFR mutations
This trial tests a new drug, firmonertinib, against other EGFR inhibitors as a first treatment for advanced lung cancer that has specific rare EGFR mutations (PACC mutations). It is for people who haven't had other treatments for their advanced cancer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05267626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AU-007 antibody for hard-to-remove or spread skin and lung cancers
This trial tests AU-007, an antibody that targets the IL-2 pathway, in people with certain advanced skin (melanoma) or lung (NSCLC) cancers. It’s designed for cancers that have already progressed after prior immune and other treatments, to see if AU-007 can shrink tumors or control disease.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07288359RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GVV858 for HR+/HER2- breast cancer and other solid tumors

San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07298096Recruiting
Vacuum thrombectomy for pulmonary embolism in cancer patients
This trial tests a computer-assisted vacuum device to remove blood clots from the lungs of people with cancer. It aims to see if this procedure is safe and improves quality of life for those with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06219941RecruitingPhase 2
Studying AZD0901 for Claudin18.2-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AZD0901 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific protein on their surface. It aims to see if the drug can shrink or slow the growth of these tumors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06959511RecruitingPhase 2
Zanzalintinib for advanced thyroid cancer before surgery
This trial tests a drug called zanzalintinib for people with advanced thyroid cancer that has spread nearby. The goal is to see if taking this pill before surgery can shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07066657RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MRG007 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MRG007 for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other treatments. The drug targets a protein called CDH17 on cancer cells; you need a tumor sample to check for it.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06593431RecruitingPhase 3
Treating limited spread pancreatic cancer with local therapy
This trial tests whether combining local treatments (like radiation or surgery) with standard care can help people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to only a few spots (oligometastatic disease). The goal is to improve outcomes for this specific group of patients.

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 1,493 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.
