Gut Microbiome clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 8 recruiting gut microbiome studies with a site in Texas — including Phase 1 and Phase 1/Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT07333482Recruiting
Flourish: How gut bacteria grow in C-section babies
This study looks at the gut bacteria of infants born by C-section. Researchers want to learn how the microbiome develops in healthy babies who have not taken probiotics.
Austin, TexasAges birth–3 months - NCT06607523Recruiting
Prebiotic treatment for brain injury recovery
This study tests whether a prebiotic (a type of fiber that feeds healthy gut bacteria) can improve recovery from a brain injury by helping the connection between the gut and the brain. Participants include people with a recent brain injury and their family members or staff, all of whom are part of the Moody Neurorehabilitation Institute community.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05774704RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Curcumin eye study for people with retinal amyloid deposits
This early-stage study tests whether curcumin (a natural plant compound) can affect eye changes in people who have amyloid deposits in the retina. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and possibly helpful for vision-related outcomes.
Lubbock, TexasAges 40–89 - NCT03325855Recruiting
Fecal transplant registry for patients and donors
This study is a national “registry” that collects information from people who get fecal microbiota transplant (a stool-based treatment) and from people who donate stool. It helps researchers understand who receives these treatments and how they do over time.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT03819296RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant to treat cancer immunotherapy bowel side effects
This early-phase study tests whether changing your gut bacteria with a fecal transplant can improve diarrhea or colitis caused by cancer immunotherapy. It may help people whose symptoms have not fully settled with standard treatments like steroids and other immune-blocking medicines.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06050733Recruiting
Gut bacteria and immunotherapy response in solid tumors
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut may affect how well immunotherapy works for solid cancers that have spread or cannot be removed. It focuses on people who have been on certain immunotherapy drugs (PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors) for at least 3 months but less than 2 years.
Galveston, TexasAges 35–75 - NCT06098404Recruiting
Cancer-related thinking and memory changes linked to gut health
This study looks at how gut bacteria might be connected to memory or thinking problems in people with cancer. If you join, you will answer surveys and provide stool samples to help researchers understand this link.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06799481Recruiting
Home-based exercise to help brain tumor survivors with thinking and memory
This study tests whether a virtual home-based exercise program can improve thinking and memory problems caused by brain tumor treatment in teens and young adults. It also looks at how exercise affects gut health.
Houston, TexasAges 15–39

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