Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT02438904Recruiting
Get help selecting stem cells after poor transplant recovery
This trial offers a specialized device to help choose certain stem cells after a transplant when graft function is poor or not working. It may help improve how well the transplant takes and functions in your body.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - 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.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT02081755Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Everolimus after liver transplant to lower liver cancer return
This trial studies whether everolimus, a transplant medicine, can safely reduce the chance that liver cancer comes back after liver transplant. It compares how well the treatment works while carefully monitoring side effects and safety.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02115295RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for AML, high-risk MDS, or blast CML
This trial tests a combination treatment (venetoclax plus several chemotherapy medicines) for people with AML, high-risk MDS, or CML that has progressed into a blast phase. It may help by killing leukemia-like blood cells and improving disease control.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT01624805RecruitingPhase 2
Immunosuppressant treatment to help low blood counts in some bone marrow disorders
This trial tests a group of immune-suppressing medicines (with steroids and growth-factor injections) for people with aplastic anemia or certain low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. The goal is to improve bone marrow function and reduce problems caused by low blood counts, such as fatigue, infections, or bleeding.
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 - NCT01371630RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for certain types of childhood-like leukemia
This early-phase trial studies how well a targeted drug (inotuzumab ozogamicin) combined with chemotherapy treats acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It may help people with newly diagnosed ALL who may not tolerate standard intensive chemotherapy, especially older adults.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT01409161RecruitingPhase 2
Tretinoin and arsenic drugs for newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia
This trial studies how well a combination of tretinoin (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO)—with or without another antibody-like drug called gemtuzumab—treats people with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The goal is to see if these medicines work better together and are safe.
Houston, TexasAges 10 years+ - NCT00501826RecruitingPhase 2
Check nelarabine plus chemotherapy for T-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy with nelarabine in people with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. It may help by improving remission in newly diagnosed or certain previously treated patients whose disease did not respond after one initial 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+ - NCT00991094Recruiting
Study follow-up after proton radiation treatment
This study collects information about both short-term and long-term side effects in people who receive proton radiation. It may help doctors better understand what happens to normal tissues over time and improve follow-up care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 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+ - NCT00992303Recruiting
Collecting tissue samples during radiation for people with cancer
This study collects tissue samples from people with cancer while they are getting radiation therapy. It also includes healthy participants, to help researchers compare samples and better understand cancer and treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00488878Recruiting
Collecting information for certain low-grade ovarian or peritoneal tumors
This study collects health information from people whose ovarian or peritoneal cancer started as a low-grade type but later changed to a higher-grade cancer. It may help researchers better understand how these tumors progress and what to expect over time.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT01269190Recruiting
Imaging mouth lesions during surgery to see them more clearly
This study uses a special dye and camera imaging while you have surgery or a biopsy to remove a mouth lesion. The goal is to better visualize the lesion during the operation, which may help doctors guide care more accurately.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00816114Recruiting
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.

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.
