Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06959537RecruitingPhase 1
Combination drug therapy for triple negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs (cyclophosphamide, axatilimab, and retifanlimab) for people with metastatic triple negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if adding a low dose of chemotherapy can make the immunotherapy work better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06966050Recruiting
Blood test registry for inflammatory breast cancer
This study collects blood samples from people with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) to learn more about the disease. It uses a special blood test called Signatera to look for cancer DNA, and the information is stored in a registry for research.

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07186556Recruiting
Exercise program for fatigue in young brain tumor survivors
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program (done through video calls) can help reduce fatigue in young adult brain tumor survivors. If you’re 18–39 and struggle with tiredness after treatment, this program may help you feel better.

San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07220096Recruiting
Registry for young adults with lung cancer
This study is for people diagnosed with lung cancer at a younger age (under 50). It aims to understand your needs and improve care through a dedicated program. You will be asked to complete surveys about your experience.
Houston, TexasAges 18–50 - NCT07223047RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of BMS-986523 for advanced solid tumors with KRAS changes
This trial tests an experimental drug (BMS-986523) alone or with other cancer treatments for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific change in the KRAS gene. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06085664RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy before prostate cancer surgery

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07276789RecruitingPhase 2
Single-dose dye imaging for lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a single dose of a special dye (LS301-IT) that helps surgeons see lung cancer cells more clearly during surgery. It aims to make lung cancer removal more precise and complete.

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.
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.
