Chart review for CML patients previously treated with certain pills
This study reviews existing medical records of people with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) who were treated with specific FDA-approved targeted tablets (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) at MD Anderson but not on an MD Anderson clinical trial. It may help the hospital understand how these medicines are used in real-world care.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT02070328Recruiting
Proton therapy patient registry for outcomes and long-term follow-up
This study keeps a secure record of people receiving proton therapy to track outcomes over time. It may help researchers understand how proton therapy works in real life and improve future care.
Irving, TexasAges Any age - NCT01696734RecruitingPhase 3
Domperidone for difficult stomach and reflux problems
This trial studies whether domperidone can help people whose stomach or reflux symptoms did not improve with usual treatments. It focuses on symptoms like slow stomach emptying, hard-to-control acid reflux, or severe indigestion.
Houston, TexasAges 16 years+ - NCT00412594RecruitingPhase 2
Cladribine plus rituximab for hairy cell leukemia
This trial tests whether a combination of two medicines—cladribine and rituximab—can treat hairy cell leukemia. You might be able to join if your leukemia is confirmed and you meet timing, blood test, and health requirements.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01746836RecruitingPhase 2
Ponatinib for CML that didn’t respond to prior pills
This trial studies ponatinib as a second treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) when it didn’t fully respond or couldn’t be tolerated with at least one prior CML pill. It aims to see whether ponatinib can better control leukemia levels after earlier treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02064673RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant curcumin after prostate surgery to prevent cancer return
This Phase 3 trial studies whether taking curcumin (a supplement made from turmeric) after radical prostatectomy can help keep prostate cancer from coming back. Participants are men with low-risk, surgery-only disease and undetectable PSA, and the study checks recurrence-free survival over time.
Dallas, TexasAges 30–80 - NCT01790152Recruiting
Dexrazoxane study to monitor heart damage in cancer survivors
This study tests dexrazoxane (DRZ) to see how it affects blood and heart-related “biomarkers,” or measurable signs of heart damage, after cancer treatment. It mainly targets survivors who may be at risk for cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness) or related heart failure.
Fort Worth, TexasAges Any age - NCT01515527RecruitingPhase 2
Cladribine plus low-dose cytarabine and decitabine for AML or MDS
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy plan (cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and decitabine) for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to shrink the leukemia/MDS and improve outcomes, including for certain people who may not tolerate standard treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 60 years+ - NCT01913106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing valacyclovir with an added cancer gene in prostate radiation
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether adding a cancer-targeting gene therapy (HSV-tk) and the antiviral medicine valacyclovir to brachytherapy can better treat recurrent prostate cancer in the prostate area. It may help by making cancer cells more vulnerable to the treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT00801489RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for AML or high-risk MDS using combination chemo
This trial tests a combination treatment (chemo drugs plus a growth-factor medicine) for people newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or certain high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). It may help by targeting cancer cells in the blood and bone marrow and improving remission chances.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01269190Recruiting

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.
Cancer trials in other states
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.
