Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05128825RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug azenosertib for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests azenosertib to treat platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It looks for whether the drug can shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people whose cancer has returned after platinum chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04804644RecruitingPhase 3
Memory-sparing radiation for brain metastases in small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether focusing high-dose radiation only on brain tumor spots, while avoiding the hippocampus (a brain area important for memory), helps protect memory and thinking compared with standard whole-brain radiation. It’s for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Conroe, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07431281RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced stomach cancer with CLDN18.2
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced stomach cancer that has not been treated before. It looks at two groups: one with PD-L1 (a protein that helps decide if immunotherapy works), and one without. The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (Sonesitatug Vedotin) plus standard chemotherapy, with or without an immunotherapy drug.
Sherman, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07361562RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CGT4255 for advanced solid tumors with HER2 changes
This trial tests an oral drug called CGT4255 for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain changes in the HER2 gene or related proteins. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07382752Recruiting
Studying immunotherapy side effects and cancer response
This study looks at how your body responds to immunotherapy and how to manage side effects. It aims to separate the treatment's benefits from its unwanted reactions.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00843375Recruiting
Testing stool samples to find early colon cancer and polyps
This study checks stool samples to see how well stool tests can detect early colon cancer and precancerous growths called adenomas. If you qualify, you’ll collect stool samples for a lab test (FIT) and sometimes this helps sort who should get follow-up testing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00477100Recruiting
Breast cancer tissue and data registry for research
This trial helps create a research “tissue registry” by collecting breast cancer tissue samples and medical information. It may help doctors better understand inflammatory or invasive breast cancer and improve future studies.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02095808Recruiting
Testing blood and body markers in lung and chest cancers
This study looks at “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs in the body (often in blood or samples), in people with lung or other chest cancers. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve how they’re diagnosed or tracked.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01120353Recruiting
Childhood cancer survivors study to understand long-term health
This study follows people who survived certain childhood cancers to learn what long-term health effects may happen after treatment. It also compares survivors with siblings to help researchers understand differences that may be related to cancer or treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT00505245Recruiting
Testing a new way to measure cancer symptom distress
This study tests a new assessment system (a set of questions/tools) to better measure how much distress cancer patients feel from symptoms. It may help cancer teams better understand your symptom burden and improve support.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01499394Recruiting
Biorepository study for adults who can consent
This study collects and stores samples (such as tissue or other biological materials) for future research. It mainly seeks adults who can agree to participate after understanding what it involves.
Texarkana, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01492036Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for people who received gene therapy
This study follows people for many years after they receive gene therapy (a treatment that uses lab-made genetic material). It mainly checks long-term safety and health outcomes and may help doctors understand how gene therapy works over time.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT02474160Recruiting
Banking cancer tissue and blood for future research
This study collects and stores leftover or newly taken samples of tissue and blood from people with cancer. The goal is to build a research library that can help investigators study cancer and develop better tests or treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 2 months+ - NCT02468024RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery or focused radiation for early lung cancer
This study compares two treatments—removing only part of the lung (sublobar resection) versus a focused radiation approach (stereotactic ablative radiotherapy)—for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see which option works better with fewer problems for the right patients.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02464696Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support to avoid tube breathing in cancer
This trial studies a mask-based breathing treatment (noninvasive ventilation) for people with cancer and serious breathing trouble, to see if it can prevent the need for intubation (putting a breathing tube in). If you qualify, the goal is to help you breathe better without invasive airway support when possible.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03193515Recruiting
Blood test to monitor bladder cancer returning
This trial tests a new blood test that looks for signs bladder cancer may be coming back in people with a recent history of bladder cancer. It may help by making surveillance easier, but you must still follow a scheduled bladder-check plan.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07470853RecruitingPhase 1
Study of HWK-016 for advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer
This trial tests a new drug called HWK-016, which is designed to target and deliver medicine directly to cancer cells that have a specific marker (MUC16). It is for people with advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07484022RecruitingPhase 1
Study of GB-4362 with EV and pembrolizumab for bladder cancer
This trial tests a new study drug (GB-4362) when added to the usual combination of enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab for advanced bladder cancer. It is for people who are about to start this standard treatment and have not had these drugs before.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07458347RecruitingPhase 1
A new oral drug for KRAS-mutated advanced cancer
This trial tests a new oral drug, KST-6051, for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, pancreatic, colon, or other cancers) that have a specific KRAS gene mutation. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it's safe.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07563738RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ODM-212 with cancer immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called ODM-212 combined with existing cancer treatments for mesothelioma, pancreatic cancer, or lung cancer with a specific genetic mutation. The study aims to find the right dose and see if adding ODM-212 helps these treatments work better.
Irving, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07574671Recruiting
Ketogenic Diet Study for Early-Stage Breast Cancer

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 1,495 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.
