Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06639854Recruiting
CMV immunity test to guide antiviral prevention after transplant
This trial uses a blood test to measure your immune system's ability to fight CMV, a common virus after transplant. The results will help your doctors decide if you can safely stop taking the antiviral medication letermovir earlier to avoid unnecessary side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06639594RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized brain stimulation for impulse control: a pilot study
This early study tests whether a personalized type of noninvasive brain stimulation (called rTMS) can help people who have trouble controlling impulsive behaviors, especially related to eating. It is for adults with a BMI over 30 who do not have other major medical or mental health conditions.
Houston, TexasAges 21–60 - NCT06629584RecruitingPhase 2
Asciminib for second-line chronic phase CML
This study tests a pill called asciminib for people with chronic phase CML whose first targeted therapy didn't work or caused side effects. The goal is to see if asciminib can better control the disease with fewer problems.

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 1,482 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.
