Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT07544654RecruitingPhase 3
Study comparing obrixtamig plus chemotherapy for advanced neuroendocrine cancer
This trial tests a new drug called obrixtamig combined with standard chemotherapy for advanced neuroendocrine cancer (a rare type of cancer). You'd receive one cycle of standard chemotherapy first, then be randomly assigned to either continue with the new drug plus chemotherapy or standard chemotherapy alone.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06467357RecruitingPhase 3
A study of T-DXd and rilvegostomig for HER2-positive bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (T-DXd and rilvegostomig) for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has not been treated before. The cancer must have high levels of a protein called HER2. This study compares the new drugs to standard treatments.

Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05827081RecruitingPhase 3
Ribociclib plus endocrine therapy for early breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding ribociclib to standard hormone (endocrine) therapy lowers the risk of breast cancer coming back in early-stage, hormone-receptor–positive cancer. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment controls cancer after surgery and (sometimes) prior hormone treatment.
El Paso, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT07524855RecruitingPhase 1
HLD-0117 study for metastatic breast cancer
This early-stage study tests a new drug called HLD-0117 in women whose metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread beyond the breast) has stopped responding to previous hormone and targeted therapies. The goal is to see if this drug can slow or shrink the cancer in patients who have limited options left.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07218146RecruitingPhase 3
Study of ZL-1310 vs Standard Care for Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new drug, ZL-1310, against standard treatments for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned after initial therapy. The goal is to see if ZL-1310 works better than other options.

Testing a new drug combo for advanced lung cancer
This trial is comparing a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) plus chemotherapy against the standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has a certain protein (PD-L1) on at least 1% of its cells. The goal is to see if the new combination works better.
Abilene, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07140016RecruitingPhase 1
Study of gilteritinib for advanced ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial tests an oral drug called gilteritinib for people with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer that has progressed after prior ALK inhibitor treatment. It aims to see if gilteritinib can help when other treatments have stopped working.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07226999RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
A new study for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer using a study drug plus chemo

This trial tests a new way to deliver a drug called amifostine (XER-001) alongside intense radiation therapy (SBRT) for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective at protecting healthy tissue while targeting the tumor.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07475806RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder-sparing drug combo for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, to see if they can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer avoid removing their bladder. The drugs are given before the standard surgery to possibly shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.

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.
