Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT06792695RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new treatments for colorectal cancer
This trial tests new treatment combinations for colorectal cancer that has spread (metastatic). It is for people whose cancer is mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) or microsatellite stable (MSS) and who have not had previous treatment for metastatic disease.
Houston, TexasAges 18–130 - NCT06789172RecruitingPhase 1
New drug OKN4395 with or without pembrolizumab for solid tumors
This trial tests a new oral drug called OKN4395, which targets a COX2-related immune pathway, alone or with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab, in people with advanced solid tumors. It may be an option if you have certain types of cancer that have stopped responding to other treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06102902RecruitingPhase 1
New drug added to chemotherapy for BRAF-mutated colorectal cancer
This trial combines a new drug called ZEN003694 with two standard chemotherapy drugs (cetuximab and encorafenib) to see if it can help people with a specific type of colorectal cancer that has the BRAF V600E mutation. This mutation makes the cancer grow, and the new drug targets it, potentially making the treatment more effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00843375Recruiting
Testing stool samples to find early colon cancer and polyps

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06751329RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of DM002 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called DM002 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug targets two proteins (MUC1 and HER3) found on some cancer cells, and may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06040541RecruitingPhase 1
Study of RMC-9805 for KRAS G12D solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental pill (RMC-9805) for people with solid tumors that have a specific KRAS G12D mutation. It's for those who have already tried other treatments and need new options.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07276529Recruiting
Magnet procedure safety trial for colon surgery patients
This trial tests a new magnet device to connect sections of the colon after surgery. It may be an option for people who need part of their colon removed and are otherwise in good health.
Houston, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT01365169Recruiting
How activity level and daily function relate to cancer survival
This study looks at how physical activity (movement during the day) and a clinician-rated “day-to-day function” score relate to overall survival in people with certain cancers. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from activity-focused care and better monitoring.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06586515RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for cancers with KRAS G12D mutation
This trial tests a new pill (LY3962673) for people whose cancer has a specific DNA change called KRAS G12D. The drug aims to block the faulty protein that helps the cancer grow, and the study will look at safety and whether the tumor shrinks.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02863172Recruiting
Genetic studies in families with inherited colon cancer
This study looks at genetic reasons some families get colon cancer due to inherited (run-in-the-family) syndromes. It may help doctors better understand risk and tailor care for you or your relatives.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07551596RecruitingPhase 2
Two immunotherapy drugs for colorectal cancer with residual disease
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs to see if they can stop colorectal cancer from returning after standard treatment. It is for people who still have cancer DNA in their blood after surgery and/or chemotherapy, which means they are at high risk of the cancer coming back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04895709RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests how well a new drug (BMS-986340) works alone and combined with other treatments in people with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard care. It also studies tumor samples to look for biomarkers that may predict who benefits.

What taking part in a colorectal 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.
