Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06466434RecruitingPhase 2
Prebiotic diet to boost immunotherapy for melanoma
This trial tests whether a special prebiotic diet can help your body's bacteria (microbiome) better respond to standard immunotherapy for advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. If you are starting your first immunotherapy, you may be able to join.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06065462RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Dostarlimab and LB-100 for clear cell ovarian cancer

Study of stem cell transplant after chemo for children with germ cell tumors
This study looks at how well a stem cell transplant works after a specific combination of chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine, docetaxel, melphalan, and carboplatin) in children and young adults up to age 21 whose germ cell tumors have come back or not responded to treatment. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from this approach.

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06337097Recruiting
Monitoring heart enzyme during immunotherapy
This study is for people starting immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors. It checks a heart enzyme (troponin) to see if the treatment affects your heart, so your doctor can monitor and manage any changes early.

Study of engineered immune cells for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment made from your own immune cells (called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) that are genetically modified to fight cancer better. It is for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded well to other treatments.

Tracking how larotrectinib works for NTRK fusion cancers in routine care
This study follows people with cancers that have an NTRK gene fusion to learn how safe and effective larotrectinib is during everyday treatment. It may help confirm whether this medicine works well in real-world patients and side effects stay manageable.

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.
