Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06030011Recruiting
Using a digital tool for head and neck cancer patients
This trial uses a digital assessment tool to track symptoms and side effects in patients with head and neck cancer who are getting radiation therapy (with or without chemotherapy). The goal is to see if it helps improve care in both rural and urban areas.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05987241RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using a blood test to guide immunotherapy after bladder/kidney cancer surgery
This study tests whether a blood test that detects tumor DNA can help guide the use of immunotherapy (nivolumab with or without relatlimab) after surgery for urothelial cancer. The goal is to see if starting immunotherapy based on the blood test results can prevent the cancer from coming back.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05997615RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VIR-5500 for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests VIR-5500 (AMX-500), a new targeted treatment, in men with prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to standard therapies. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it may help shrink or slow the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05964504Recruiting
Registry study for metastatic lobular breast cancer
This study collects health information from adults with invasive lobular breast cancer that has spread (metastatic) to help researchers understand factors linked to survival. Joining may help build better knowledge for future treatments and care planning.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05948865RecruitingPhase 1
Early trial drug for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests CPO301 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have worsened or cannot be treated with standard options. It aims to find the safest dose and understand how the treatment affects tumors, especially in certain lung cancer groups.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05951179RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder instillation study for high-grade non–muscle-invasive cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests TARA-002 given directly into the bladder to treat high-grade non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer with active disease. It may help patients who have not previously responded to, or have not received, BCG treatment in the recent past.
Amarillo, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05920356RecruitingPhase 3
Tested KRAS-targeted sotorasib plus chemo vs pembrolizumab plus chemo
This Phase 3 trial tests whether sotorasib plus standard chemotherapy works better than pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) plus standard chemotherapy as first treatment for certain advanced lung cancers. It may help people whose tumors have a KRAS G12C mutation and that do not show PD-L1 on testing.
Houston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT03945162RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder cancer trial using light therapy in the bladder
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment called photodynamic therapy (PDT) placed directly into the bladder. It may help people whose non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer did not respond to BCG treatment or could not tolerate it.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05879926RecruitingPhase 3
Testing chemo after hormone therapy in premenopausal early breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial checks whether adding chemotherapy after standard hormone-blocking treatment works better for some premenopausal women with early-stage, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It targets patients with limited lymph node spread and a lower-to-intermediate tumor “recurrence” risk score.
Houston, TexasAges 18–60 - NCT05894239RecruitingPhase 3
Tested targeted drug for HER2-positive breast cancer with PIK3CA changes
This Phase 3 study tests inavolisib plus Phesgo versus placebo plus Phesgo in people whose breast cancer has both HER2-positive and PIK3CA-mutated tumor markers. The goal is to see if adding inavolisib improves how well the treatment controls the cancer and how safe it is.
Kingwood, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05874921Recruiting
Registry for adults with UTUC treated with Jelmyto
This registry collects information about adults with upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) who received Jelmyto after it was approved. It helps doctors understand outcomes and real-world experience with Jelmyto.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a liver pump with standard chemo for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests whether adding a special chemotherapy pump implanted in your liver (hepatic arterial infusion) to standard chemotherapy works better than standard chemotherapy alone for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by surgery. The pump delivers high doses of chemo directly to the liver to shrink tumors and possibly control the disease longer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05852717RecruitingPhase 2
Epcoritamab plus GDP chemotherapy for relapsed large B-cell lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests epcoritamab combined with GDP chemotherapy to treat adults whose large B-cell lymphoma has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to improve how safely and effectively the disease can be controlled after standard chemotherapy.
Dallas, 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 - NCT05837039Recruiting
Comparing caregiver and nurse views of discomfort in advanced cancer
This study compares how healthcare providers and family caregivers judge discomfort in people with advanced cancer who are very hard to rouse and may be actively dying. It aims to understand whether caregiver and staff perceptions match, which could improve comfort care for patients near the end of life.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05825950Recruiting
AI tool for predicting outcomes in bladder cancer
This trial tests an artificial-intelligence (AI) tool that uses your bladder cancer details to help predict outcomes. It may help doctors better choose the next treatment after bladder cancer is found early (non-muscle invasive).
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT05803941RecruitingPhase 4
Study long-term safety of a prostate cancer drug
This trial checks the long-term safety (how it affects you over time) of lutetium-177 vipivotide tetraxetan in people with prostate cancer. You may be eligible if you already received the related drug in a prior Novartis prostate cancer study and can complete the required follow-up tests.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT05797168RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early study drug for advanced solid tumors, alone or with another drug
This Phase 1/2 study tests a new AstraZeneca cancer drug (AZD5335) to see how safely it can be given and how well it works in people with advanced solid tumors. You may get it alone or with another treatment, and you’ll need to provide tumor information (sometimes including a biopsy) for study planning.
Houston, TexasAges 18–130 - NCT05768932RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for advanced cancers or relapsed AML
This Phase 1 trial tests BAL0891, a new study treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors that have run out of treatment options, or in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to find a safe dose and see how well it may work in these hard-to-treat cancers.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05748834RecruitingPhase 2
Tucatinib plus Doxil for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests tucatinib (a HER2-targeted pill) plus Doxil (a chemotherapy medicine) to slow or shrink HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer that has been treated before. It may help by targeting HER2 cancer cells more effectively than past treatments alone.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05774678RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery radiation options for invasive breast cancer
This trial compares two schedules of radiation given before mastectomy to see which works better for invasive breast cancer, followed by immediate breast reconstruction. It also studies tiny “biomarker” signals in tissue to learn why one radiation approach may help more.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05711615RecruitingPhase 1
Low-dose doxorubicin plus peposertib for advanced sarcoma
This Phase 1 trial tests a low dose of a common chemotherapy (liposomal doxorubicin) together with an anti-cancer drug called peposertib. It’s for people with advanced sarcoma that can’t be cured, aiming to find a safe dosing plan and see how well the treatment might work.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05742607RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus IPH5201 before lung surgery for early cancer
This phase 2 study tests durvalumab plus IPH5201 given before surgery to improve outcomes for people with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and make surgery more effective, using information about specific tumor markers like PD-L1.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05710848RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for repeat bladder tumor surgery patients
This trial tests STM-416, given around the time you have surgery to remove recurring bladder tumors, to see if it can reduce the chance the cancer comes back. It is for people with high-risk early bladder cancer (non–muscle-invasive) who have already had standard treatment and now need another TURBT.

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 1,480 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.
