Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06451497RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ZM008 alone and with toripalimab for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug called ZM008, which targets a protein on some cancer cells, first alone and then combined with another drug, toripalimab, for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06525220RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo vs. standard for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (petosemtamab plus pembrolizumab) compared to pembrolizumab alone for people with head and neck cancer that has spread or come back and cannot be cured locally. It may be an option if your cancer has a certain protein (PD-L1) and you haven't had prior cancer treatment for this stage.

IDE034 for advanced solid tumors with B7-H3 or PTK7
This study tests a new drug called IDE034 for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain markers (B7-H3 and PTK7). The drug may help by targeting these markers on cancer cells, and the study checks if it is safe and effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07517198RecruitingPhase 1
EXS74539 Study for Advanced Solid Tumors
This is an early-stage study testing a new cancer drug called EXS74539 to find the right dose and see how well it works in people with various advanced solid tumors. The drug may help patients whose cancers have stopped responding to standard treatments.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07218003Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Study of RNDO-564 alone or with pembrolizumab for bladder cancer

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07227350RecruitingPhase 2
L19IL2 and L19TNF for advanced basal cell carcinoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, L19IL2 and L19TNF, injected directly into advanced basal cell carcinoma tumors that cannot be treated with surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink the tumors.

What taking part in a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma 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.

- 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 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma 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.
