Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06014658RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MBRC-101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MBRC-101, that targets a protein called EphA5 found on some cancer cells. It is for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, breast, or pancreatic cancer) that have stopped responding to other treatments. The study aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors.
Irving, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05999994RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drugs for children and young adults with cancer
This trial tests several experimental drugs for children and young adults with cancer. It aims to find safe and effective treatments by matching participants to one of several drug studies based on their cancer type and health.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 1–39 - NCT05985161RecruitingPhase 2
Selinexor for wilms tumor and other solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called selinexor for children and young adults with certain types of solid tumors (like Wilms tumor, rhabdoid tumors, MPNST, or others with specific genetic changes) that have come back or not responded to standard treatment. Participants take selinexor pills to see if it can shrink or control their cancer.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 1 year+ - NCT05992909Recruiting
Lymphovenous bypass to prevent leg swelling after groin lymph node removal
This study looks at whether a surgical procedure called lymphovenous bypass can help prevent leg swelling (lymphedema) after lymph node removal from the groin or pelvis. Researchers will observe patients who undergo this bypass to see if it reduces swelling compared to traditional recovery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05977998RecruitingPhase 2
Paclitaxel given during surgery for stomach cancer spread to the belly
This trial studies whether adding paclitaxel chemotherapy around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It targets cancers confirmed by testing of belly fluid or by laparoscopy/laparotomy, and may help by treating cancer cells right at the time of surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05978141Recruiting
T-cell lymphoma registry study
This study creates a registry for people with certain T-cell or NK-cell lymphomas. It collects health information and tumor samples to learn more about these diseases and improve future treatments.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05947838Recruiting
Blood test helps choose chemotherapy before colorectal or appendix surgery
This study uses a blood test called ctDNA to help tailor (personalize) neoadjuvant chemotherapy for people with colorectal or appendix cancer before surgery. The goal is to see if using ctDNA can help doctors pick the most appropriate chemotherapy plan for you.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05967182RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before or around liver surgery
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin given around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, potentially operable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer in the liver). It may help by strengthening the immune system while also treating the cancer with chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05955014Recruiting
Study collects data from people with von Hippel-Lindau disease
This study is for people with von Hippel-Lindau (vHL) disease to collect information for research. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how to care for people with it.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05967689RecruitingPhase 2
Zipalertinib for lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 mutations
This Phase 2 trial tests zipalertinib (a targeted pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR mutations, especially “exon 20 insertions.” It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, including in some people with brain metastases.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05939414RecruitingPhase 3
Study of radioactive drug for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This study tests a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) compared to no immediate treatment in men with prostate cancer that has returned and spread to a few spots (oligometastatic). It aims to see if this treatment delays the spread of cancer and improves outcomes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT05929612RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose targeted radiation alone for marginal zone lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether very low-dose radiation (adjusted based on how you respond) can treat marginal zone lymphoma without adding other medicines at first. It may help some people by reducing radiation exposure while still controlling the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05886036RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing rituximab vs mosunetuzumab for NLPHL
This trial compares two immunotherapy drugs, rituximab and mosunetuzumab, to see which works better for people with nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) who need treatment. It's for both newly diagnosed and previously treated patients.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05879146RecruitingPhase 2
Nirogacestat for desmoid tumors with tumor growth monitoring
This Phase 2 study tests nirogacestat (a targeted medicine) in people with desmoid tumors that are growing. It also studies how tumors respond—or don’t respond—by using repeated tumor scans and sometimes repeated tumor biopsies.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05855200RecruitingPhase 3
Dostarlimab around surgery for certain untreated colon cancers
This trial studies dostarlimab given around the time of colon cancer surgery for people with untreated, resectable (operable) stage T4N0 or stage III colon cancer that has specific tumor markers. It may help shrink or eliminate the cancer before or after surgery by boosting the immune response.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05865535RecruitingPhase 1
Dose study of AV-380 for cancer-related weight loss
This Phase 1 trial tests a new drug (AV-380) in people with solid tumor cancer who are losing weight and muscle because of cancer. It mainly helps researchers find a safe dose and see how the body responds, and it may offer a new option for cancer-related cachexia.
Kingwood, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05828069RecruitingPhase 2
Tovorafenib for young people with worsening Langerhans cell histiocytosis
This Phase 2 trial tests tovorafenib (DAY101) to treat children and young people whose Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is getting worse, came back, or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help by targeting certain gene changes found in the LCH.
Austin, TexasAges 6 months–22 years - NCT05826743Recruiting
Check a new alternative to ileostomy after bowel surgery
This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
Houston, TexasAges 19–80 - NCT05834244RecruitingPhase 1
New and relapsed AML treatment using azacitidine, venetoclax, and NK cells

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.
