GBM clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 8 recruiting gbm studies with a site in Texas — including Early Phase 1, Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT05303467RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of a glioblastoma device for recurring tumors
This early study tests whether a device called TheraSphere is safe when delivered into the brain to treat recurrent glioblastoma. It may help patients by trying a targeted treatment approach, while doctors carefully monitor side effects and safety.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05902169RecruitingPhase 3
Ultrasound with carboplatin for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a device that opens the blood-brain barrier using ultrasound, allowing chemotherapy to reach the brain tumor better. It compares this approach to standard chemotherapy for people whose glioblastoma has returned.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07733674RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new imaging agent for brain and pancreatic tumors
This early-phase study tests a new imaging agent that may help see certain solid tumors (like brain cancer or pancreatic cancer) more clearly. You will receive a single injection of a radioactive tracer, then have several scans over a few days to see where the tracer goes and how long it stays.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06805305RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests a new personalized immunotherapy (DOC1021) for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The treatment uses your own immune cells to attack the tumor and is given after surgery and with standard chemotherapy and radiation.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03596086RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug plus radiation and chemo for recurrent brain cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether combining an HSV-tk “gene switch” treatment, valacyclovir tablets, focused radiation (SBRT), and chemotherapy can help people with recurrent glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma. It may help shrink tumors or slow growth after standard treatments have already been tried.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03603405RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test vaccine and radiation with chemotherapy for new brain tumor
This trial studies a gene-based treatment (HSV-tk) given with radiation and chemotherapy for people newly diagnosed with glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma. It may help the new brain tumor respond better to standard treatments, though risks and benefits are still being tested.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05879367RecruitingPhase 1
Eflornithine plus temozolomide for newly diagnosed brain cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies whether adding eflornithine to temozolomide (chemotherapy) is safe and potentially helpful for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma or certain astrocytomas after radiation. It aims to find a workable treatment approach by closely monitoring side effects and early tumor responses.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07387666RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Imaging a common drug in glioblastoma
This trial uses a special imaging technique to see how the drug Acetadote (often used for acetaminophen overdose) behaves in glioblastoma tumors. It may help doctors learn more about the tumor and could guide future treatments.

What taking part in a gbm 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 gbm clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting gbm 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 gbm 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 gbm 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 gbm 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.
