Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT05490472RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced solid tumors that stopped responding
This early study tests a new medicine (JAB-2485) in adults with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or grown locally). You may join to see if it can shrink tumors or control the disease when other treatments haven’t worked or weren’t tolerated.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05497024Recruiting
Decision aid testing for older men on prostate cancer surveillance
This trial tests an English decision aid (a patient guide) to help older men understand and feel comfortable with “active surveillance” for localized prostate cancer. It also checks how easy to use it is for patients, caregivers, and prostate cancer clinicians.
Houston, TexasAges 65 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Conroe, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05636111RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug lurbinectedin with weekly paclitaxel and bevacizumab
This Phase 1b trial tests how well a new cancer drug (lurbinectedin) works together with weekly paclitaxel and bevacizumab in ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer that has returned or worsened after platinum chemotherapy. It’s designed to find the best way to use these medicines and check for early signs of benefit and safety.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05642572RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug combinations for EGFR- and MET-changed lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests combinations of targeted medicines to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has changes in both EGFR and MET genes. It is for people whose cancer continued to grow even after treatment with osimertinib, the most recent therapy.
Amarillo, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05667532Recruiting
Contrast mammogram screening for women with dense breasts
This study tests how well a special mammogram with contrast can help assess breast cancer risk in women with dense breast tissue. It may help improve screening planning, especially when standard mammograms are harder to read due to density.
Houston, TexasAges 30–75 - NCT05681026Recruiting
Yoga support program during stem cell transplant
This study tests a culturally tailored inpatient yoga therapy program for people having a stem cell transplant for cancer. It aims to see whether yoga can help patients feel better and cope while they stay in the hospital.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05691465RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation drug for metastatic prostate cancer with neuroendocrine cells
This Phase 2 study tests whether a radioactive medicine called lutetium Lu 177 dotatate is safe and effective for metastatic prostate cancer that has neuroendocrine features. It also checks whether patients’ scans show the cancer absorbs the drug (a requirement to start treatment).
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05766891RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nurse-led hypnosis to reduce opioid pain meds for breast surgery
This trial tests whether nurse-delivered hypnosis during breast cancer surgery can help you need less opioid pain medicine after surgery. It may make recovery more comfortable while aiming to lower opioid use.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05774951RecruitingPhase 3
Camizestrant for hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer
This trial tests camizestrant, a medicine that blocks estrogen signaling, to help prevent hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer from coming back. You may be eligible if your cancer has higher- or intermediate-risk features and you already completed at least 2 years of hormone therapy.
Austin, TexasAges 18–130 - NCT05789082RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Divarasib for untreated lung cancer with KRAS G12C
This trial studies divarasib to see if it is safe and can shrink or control advanced lung cancer. Participants must have a KRAS G12C mutation and have not had prior treatment for their advanced disease.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05800665RecruitingPhase 1
Study tests a new prostate cancer drug after prior hormone therapy
This Phase 1 study tests the safety, how the drug moves through the body, and whether it shows anti-cancer activity in men with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. It is designed for people whose cancer has already been treated with certain hormone (androgen receptor) therapies.
Nashville, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05819892RecruitingPhase 1
Dostarlimab with chemo and radiation for advanced womb cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies how safe and tolerable it is to add dostarlimab (an immunotherapy) to standard chemo and radiation, followed by more chemotherapy, for stage IIIC endometrial cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see whether this combination can be given safely soon after surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05840484Recruiting
Monitoring study for men on active surveillance
This trial follows men with prostate cancer who choose “active surveillance” instead of immediate treatment. It tests whether careful tracking (including patient reports) can help manage cancer over time and guide decision-making.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05872295RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for HER2-positive advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests IKS014 to see how safe it is and how well it works in advanced solid tumors that have HER2. You may be eligible if your tumor is HER2-positive (including certain “low HER2” types) and your body’s blood counts and organ function are strong enough.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05873192RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib plus enzalutamide before prostate surgery
This trial studies whether taking talazoparib and enzalutamide before surgery can shrink or control prostate cancer. If treatment works, it may make the cancer easier to remove with a radical prostatectomy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05884320RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan for advanced salivary gland cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests sacituzumab govitecan, an anti-cancer medicine, in people with recurrent or metastatic (coming back or spread) secretory gland cancers or related salivary gland cancers. It aims to see how well the treatment can shrink tumors and control disease when surgery or radiation is not a cure.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05904782Recruiting
Brief positive-activity coaching for caregivers of advanced cancer
This trial tests a short program meant to support caregivers’ positive feelings while they care for someone with stage IV cancer. If you’re eligible, you may be asked to complete study activities by phone or internet for a set period of time.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05946213RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation works as well as the usual longer course for people with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and inconvenience.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05985954RecruitingPhase 1
Ulixertinib with cetuximab for colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether the drug ulixertinib, combined with cetuximab (and sometimes encorafenib), can help people with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer who have already tried EGFR or BRAF-targeted therapy. It aims to find new treatment options for these patients.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06026410RecruitingPhase 1
KO-2806 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called KO-2806, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific gene changes (like HRAS or KRAS mutations). It may help if standard treatments have stopped working.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06031688RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for lung cancer with a MET gene change
This trial tests a targeted drug for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called MET exon 14 skipping. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth, and may help people who have or haven't had prior treatment.
Amarillo, TexasAges 18 minutes+ - NCT06036810Recruiting

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 1,492 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.
