Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT06242470RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MGC026 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MGC026 that targets a protein called B7-H3 on cancer cells, aiming to shrink or slow different advanced solid tumors. It is an early-phase study to find the right dose and check safety.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06244771RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing FMC-376 for KRAS G12C mutated solid tumors
This study tests a new targeted pill called FMC-376 for people whose cancer has a specific KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth when other treatments have stopped working.

Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors with MSI-H or dMMR
This trial tests an oral medication called MOMA-341 in people with advanced solid tumors that have high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR). It aims to see if the drug can help when prior immunotherapy hasn't worked or isn't available.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07500298RecruitingPhase 1
New drug plus standard chemo for spread colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called SAR445877 combined with two standard chemotherapies (FOLFOX and bevacizumab) as an initial treatment for people whose colorectal cancer has spread and is microsatellite stable (MSS). It aims to see if adding this drug works better than standard therapy alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07416552RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CEA-PRIT 2.0 for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called CEA-PRIT 2.0 in people whose colorectal cancer has spread and is no longer responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05253651RecruitingPhase 3
Tucatinib plus trastuzumab with chemo for HER2+ metastatic colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding tucatinib and trastuzumab to standard chemotherapy works better than standard treatment alone for people with HER2-positive metastatic colon or rectal cancer. It aims to improve how long people live and how well tumors respond as first treatment for advanced disease.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06428409RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A study of MK-2870 for several gastrointestinal cancers
This trial is testing a new drug called MK-2870, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced colorectal, pancreatic, or bile duct cancer. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink or control the cancer.

Mobile mammogram screening study for women with family cancer risk
This study looks at how well mobile mammogram units and video/phone genetics counseling (“telegenetics”) can help women who may have inherited cancer risk. If you’re scheduled for a mammogram through the Project VALET mobile units, this may be an easy option to learn about and address your risk.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.

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.

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.
