Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT05873686RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NXP900 for advanced solid tumors

Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06878131Recruiting
Precision-MRD: Targeted therapy study for colorectal cancer with MRD
This study looks at how well targeted therapies work for people with colorectal cancer who have minimal residual disease (MRD, tiny amounts of cancer left after treatment) detected by a blood test. It is for people who have a specific genetic change (biomarker) in their tumor and have not been treated with the targeted therapy for that biomarker before.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06906562RecruitingPhase 2
Pemigatinib for advanced pancreatic cancer with FGFR changes
This trial tests a targeted pill, pemigatinib, for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific FGFR gene change. The study is done entirely through telemedicine, so you can participate from home if eligible.
Amarillo, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06936878Recruiting
BOLSTER: Learning skills to thrive with advanced cancer
This study tests a program called BOLSTER to help you learn new skills to thrive while managing advanced cancer and a complex care need. You and a family caregiver will participate together.

Testing OPB-101 for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called OPB-101 for people with a type of ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has stopped responding to platinum chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07039526RecruitingPhase 2
Cytalux for finding cancer during surgery
This trial tests a dye called Cytalux that helps surgeons see cancer during surgery. You get the dye before surgery, and it makes cancer cells glow under a special light. This could help doctors remove more cancer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07050771RecruitingPhase 2
Prehabilitation before cancer surgery study
This trial tests a comprehensive program of exercise, nutrition, and wellness support before and after major cancer surgery. It aims to help patients recover faster and better, whether or not they also receive chemotherapy or radiation before surgery.

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?
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.
