This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs given before bladder/urinary tract cancer surgery. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes in people who cannot safely take cisplatin chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05431270RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug that targets CD73, alone or with immunotherapy
This early-stage study tests mavrostobart (an anti-CD73 antibody) to see what dose is safe and whether it can help shrink tumors. It’s studied by itself and also with a PD-1 immune therapy or chemotherapy, depending on your cancer type and prior treatments.
Webster, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05431595RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test a less sedating plan for agitated delirium in cancer
This study looks at whether using certain sleep/behavior medicines (called neuroleptics) with anti-seizure medicines can calm agitation from delirium without needing as much of the usual “neuroleptic” medicines. It may help people with advanced cancer who are confused and very restless or hard to settle.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05464719RecruitingPhase 2
Loncastuximab for lymphoma patients in partial remission after CAR T
This trial studies loncastuximab tesirine (a targeted cancer medicine) given after CAR T-cell therapy when your lymphoma has improved to a partial remission. It aims to reduce the chance of the lymphoma returning after CAR T.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05486572Recruiting
Ultrasound or MRI to help prevent liver cancer deaths
This study compares ultrasound scans versus MRI scans to see which one better helps prevent deaths from liver cancer in people with cirrhosis. You may be assigned to one of the two imaging tests and follow-up visits to track whether liver cancer develops or is caught early.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT05488548RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug that blocks BET and CBP/p300 in advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests an investigational medicine that targets BET and CBP/p300 to try to slow or control advanced, hard-to-treat cancers. You may be eligible if you have certain prostate cancer or NUT midline carcinoma, or specific blood cancers like CMML or myelofibrosis (MF), and your body functions are strong enough for chemotherapy-style treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05526989RecruitingPhase 2
Dostarlimab plus niraparib for advanced penile cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining dostarlimab (an immunotherapy) with niraparib (a cancer pill) can shrink advanced penile cancer and keep it from growing. It may help people whose cancer has progressed after limited prior treatments, and who have not had certain immune therapies before.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05529069RecruitingPhase 2
Testing pirtobrutinib plus venetoclax for relapsed mantle cell lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests how well the combination of pirtobrutinib and venetoclax works for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It’s meant to help shrink the lymphoma and improve outcomes after prior therapies.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05536349RecruitingPhase 2
Testing three drug combo for untreated CLL or CLL-related cancer
This Phase 2 study tests pirtobrutinib plus venetoclax plus obinutuzumab in people with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or CLL-related Richter transformation (RT). The goal is to see if this “triplet” combination works better and is safe enough to control the disease.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05561387RecruitingPhase 3
Drug combinations for newly diagnosed myeloma without transplant
This study compares different combinations of medicines for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who cannot safely get a stem cell transplant. It aims to find which drug plan works best and is tolerable for people with “frail” or “intermediate fit” health.
San Antonio, TexasAges Any age - NCT05563766RecruitingPhase 2
Itraconazole added for treatable esophageal cancer before surgery
This study tests whether adding itraconazole (an anti-fungal medicine) to standard chemo-radiation before surgery increases the chance of complete tumor response. It’s for people with esophageal (or GE junction) cancer that can be removed with curative surgery after treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05615636RecruitingPhase 2
Study of four medicines for relapsed B-cell lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of several medicines for people whose lymphoma has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to shrink the lymphoma by using different ways to attack B-cell cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05645718RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus targeted antibodies for relapsed childhood B-ALL
This Phase 2 study tests a combination treatment for children, teens, or young adults whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) has come back or did not respond to initial therapy. It may help patients who cannot safely receive certain standard medicines like anthracyclines or who cannot tolerate PEG-asparaginase.
Houston, TexasAges 1–25 - NCT05653388Recruiting
Study biomarker testing in metastatic leiomyosarcoma
This trial looks at lab markers (biomarkers) in tumor samples from people with leiomyosarcoma that has spread or can’t be fully removed. It also enrolls people who are receiving certain first-line chemotherapy, and your results may help guide future treatment decisions.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05673928RecruitingPhase 2
Tucatinib and T-DM1 for HER2-positive brain-metastasis tumors
This Phase 2 study tests tucatinib plus T-DM1 (ado-trastuzumab emtansine) in people with HER2-positive metastatic solid tumors that have spread to the brain. It aims to shrink brain and body tumors and help control cancer that is progressing in the brain.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05674396RecruitingPhase 2
Short-course radiation to ease symptoms from head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a specific, shorter type of focused radiation to help relieve symptoms from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It compares two radiation timing/planning approaches to see which better improves comfort and quality of life.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05676450Recruiting
Test blood DNA to find lymphoma changes and leftover disease
This study checks a blood test that looks for small DNA fragments (“cell-free DNA”) to find cancer changes that could guide treatment in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It also looks for “minimal residual disease,” meaning tiny amounts of lymphoma that may remain after treatment, and whether this test works across community cancer centers in Texas.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05693766RecruitingPhase 2
Gene test guides treatment for hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial studies whether a gene-signature test can help guide treatment choices for people with hormone receptor–positive (ER and/or PR) breast cancer that has spread or can’t be fully removed. It may help find the best therapy approach after prior hormone therapy and targeted cancer medicine.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05704647RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus relatlimab for melanoma in the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab plus relatlimab can shrink or control melanoma that has spread to the brain. It may help by boosting the immune system to attack the cancer, including melanoma in brain areas that can’t be treated with prior focused radiation.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05733091Recruiting
Study of symptoms and function after certain head and neck cancers
This study looks at how symptoms and everyday functioning change for people with cancers of the nose/sinuses, the throat behind the nose (nasopharynx), or nearby skull-base areas. It may help doctors understand what survivors experience and improve long-term care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05733598RecruitingPhase 2
RP2 plus standard treatment for advanced liver or bile cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether RP2, added to standard second-line treatment, can improve outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer or bile duct/gallbladder cancer. It may help by training the immune system to better attack the cancer after the cancer has already grown despite prior treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05752448Recruiting
Care plan support for women after ovarian cancer treatment
This trial looks at survivorship care—how to help women after ovarian cancer treatment. It may improve follow-up planning and support during the first months after treatment ends.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05753722RecruitingPhase 1
First trial for PRTH-101 alone or with pembrolizumab
This early study tests PRTH-101, given by itself or with pembrolizumab, in people with advanced cancers that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and how it affects the cancer.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05768139RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new targeted drug for advanced solid tumors with PI3Kα mutation
This trial tests tersolisib, a new targeted medicine, in adults with advanced or hard-to-remove solid cancers. It focuses on tumors that have a specific genetic change (PI3Kα mutation) to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.

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?
