Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06395506Recruiting
Exercise and creatine for breast cancer survivors
This trial tests if adding creatine supplements to a virtual exercise program helps breast cancer survivors recover after chemotherapy. Participants will attend online exercise sessions three times a week and take creatine by mouth.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06364410RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug combo for stomach and other solid tumors
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, trastuzumab deruxtecan and azenosertib, for people with stomach cancer or other solid tumors that have a specific protein called HER2. It aims to see if this combination can help when other treatments have stopped working.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06369259RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced colorectal cancer that resisted standard therapy
This clinical trial tests a new combination of three drugs for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to standard anti-EGFR treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer down.
Houston, 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+ - NCT06324357RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zongertinib for HER2-positive cancers that have spread
This trial tests a new pill called zongertinib, alone or with other drugs, for people with HER2-positive cancers (like breast, stomach, or colorectal cancer) that have spread and are no longer responding to standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06318897RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with chemo for early triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) plus two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) given before surgery for people with early-stage, triple-negative breast cancer.

Austin, TexasAges Up to 12 months - NCT06274047RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone Therapy Timing for Prostate Cancer After Surgery
This trial compares two ways of giving hormone therapy (apalutamide) along with radiation after prostate removal surgery. It aims to see which approach helps maintain quality of life while controlling cancer.

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06205485RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy and surgery vs chemoradiation for rectal cancer
This trial compares two approaches for early-stage rectal cancer: chemotherapy plus local surgery versus standard chemoradiotherapy. It aims to see if less intensive treatment can work just as well, reducing side effects.
Temple, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06200155RecruitingPhase 2
Psilocybin therapy for advanced cancer patients with anxiety or depression
This trial tests whether a drug called psilocybin, given with therapy, can help people with advanced cancer who are feeling anxious or depressed. You must have a stable cancer and be willing to travel to Houston for treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 25 years+ - NCT06181656Recruiting
Pneumonia Vaccine Study for Esophageal and Liver Cancer Patients
This trial studies how well the pneumonia vaccine works in people with esophageal or liver cancer who have low white blood cell counts after chemoradiation. It aims to see if the vaccine can still protect them from infection.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03418961RecruitingPhase 3
Study of heart-risk management for metastatic HER2 breast cancer
This trial follows people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who are at higher risk for heart damage while on HER2-targeted therapy. Some participants are randomly assigned to different monitoring/heart-protection approaches to see what best helps keep the heart safe.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03160274Recruiting
Genetic testing for certain adrenal and nerve tumors
This study looks at genetic (DNA) changes in people with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma and related conditions. It may help clarify why these conditions happen and how they run in families.
San Antonio, TexasAges Any age - NCT06123338RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo and trastuzumab for HER2+ stomach cancer
This trial tests adding pembrolizumab to standard trastuzumab and chemotherapy for people with HER2-positive stomach or esophageal cancer that can be fully removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes before and after surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06127797Recruiting
MRI surveillance study for breast cancer survivors with dense breasts
This study is testing whether adding an MRI to your regular mammogram can help find any new breast cancers earlier. It is for women who have had breast cancer before and still have dense breast tissue, making mammograms harder to read.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06083844RecruitingPhase 2
Keytruda + Avastin + chemo for ovarian cancer with minimal remaining disease
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—pembrolizumab (Keytruda, an immunotherapy), bevacizumab (Avastin, a blood-vessel blocker), and oral cyclophosphamide (a chemotherapy pill)—for women with high-grade ovarian cancer who have only tiny bits of disease left after finishing their initial treatment.

Study of ADI-PEG20 with chemo for aggressive prostate cancer

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05024929Recruiting
Test targeted drugs to help radioactive iodine reach thyroid cancer
This study looks at whether certain cancer “targeted therapy” medicines can make radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy work better for thyroid cancer that has spread to the lungs. It also involves taking special whole-body scans to measure how much radioactive iodine gets taken up by the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges birth+ - NCT06031688RecruitingPhase 2

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.
