Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06561087RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab injection for high-risk mouth lesions

Participants receive one of the medicines daily for 2 years, and regular scans help monitor any changes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06477692RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing Neck Radiation Options for Head and Neck Cancer
This trial is testing whether radiation to just the lymph nodes near the tumor is as effective as treating a larger area of the neck. It is for people with certain head and neck cancers (not unknown primary or glottic) and aims to lower side effects.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT06469944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of drug combinations for stomach or esophagus cancer

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06476808RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug (BMS-986463) in people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to find a safe dose and see if it helps shrink or control the cancer. You must be well enough to do daily activities and have a tumor that can be biopsied before treatment starts.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06474676RecruitingPhase 1
Modified immune cell therapy for advanced sarcoma
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (TILs) that have been modified to attack sarcoma tumors. It is for people with advanced soft tissue or bone sarcoma who have already tried at least one other therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT06466395RecruitingPhase 1
Hyper-CVAD plus venetoclax for relapsed pediatric leukemia

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06472817Enrolling by invitation
Social factors affecting prostate cancer care in African and Caribbean men

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.
