Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT07271667RecruitingPhase 2
Study of emavusertib with zanubrutinib for CLL and other B-cell cancers
This trial combines an experimental drug, emavusertib, with zanubrutinib (a standard targeted therapy) for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or other B-cell cancers. It aims to see if the combination can improve response in patients who still have some disease despite taking zanubrutinib or whose disease has worsened on it.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07284433RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor cell therapy for B-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a new treatment made from donor cells that target two proteins (CD19 and CD20) found on certain blood cancer cells. It may be an option for people whose B-cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia has come back or hasn't responded to at least two prior treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00816114Recruiting
Chart review for CML patients previously treated with certain pills
This study reviews existing medical records of people with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) who were treated with specific FDA-approved targeted tablets (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) at MD Anderson but not on an MD Anderson clinical trial. It may help the hospital understand how these medicines are used in real-world care.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT01790152Recruiting
Dexrazoxane study to monitor heart damage in cancer survivors
This study tests dexrazoxane (DRZ) to see how it affects blood and heart-related “biomarkers,” or measurable signs of heart damage, after cancer treatment. It mainly targets survivors who may be at risk for cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness) or related heart failure.
Fort Worth, TexasAges Any age - NCT01515527RecruitingPhase 2
Cladribine plus low-dose cytarabine and decitabine for AML or MDS
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy plan (cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and decitabine) for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to shrink the leukemia/MDS and improve outcomes, including for certain people who may not tolerate standard treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 60 years+ - NCT01409161RecruitingPhase 2
Tretinoin and arsenic drugs for newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia
This trial studies how well a combination of tretinoin (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO)—with or without another antibody-like drug called gemtuzumab—treats people with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The goal is to see if these medicines work better together and are safe.
Nassau Bay, TexasAges 10 years+ - NCT01853631RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for CD19-positive B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized form of immune therapy called CAR T cells that are designed to recognize CD19, a marker on certain B-cell cancers. It may help people with difficult-to-treat (recurrent or relapsed) B-cell lymphoma or leukemia (ALL/CLL).
Houston, TexasAges Up to 75 years - NCT02877303RecruitingPhase 2
Frontline drug treatment for newly diagnosed B-cell leukemia
This trial tests a combination of targeted and chemotherapy medicines as first treatment for newly diagnosed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or related lymphoblastic lymphoma. It aims to improve how well treatment controls the leukemia and how long people can stay in remission.
Houston, TexasAges 14 years+ - NCT04925479RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing asciminib dosing and safety for teen CML patients
This early-phase study tests the right dose and safety of asciminib in children and teens with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). It may help if your current or last CML medicine (a TKI) did not work well or caused side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 1–17 - NCT00501826RecruitingPhase 2
Check nelarabine plus chemotherapy for T-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy with nelarabine in people with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. It may help by improving remission in newly diagnosed or certain previously treated patients whose disease did not respond after one initial treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT03571321RecruitingPhase 1
Ruxolitinib plus chemotherapy for Ph-like B-ALL
This early-phase study tests whether adding ruxolitinib (a targeted medicine) to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes in adolescents and young adults with newly diagnosed Ph-like B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It targets specific genetic features (“JAK-targetable signature”) thought to make the leukemia more responsive to JAK-blocking treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–39 - NCT07513129RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combination for relapsed T-cell blood cancer in teens and young adults
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (venetoclax, dexamethasone, bortezomib, and daratumumab) to treat T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma that has come back or stopped responding to prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help patients aged 12–30 achieve remission.
Houston, TexasAges 12–30 - NCT06943872RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing new treatments for relapsed CLL or SLL
This study tests a combination of sonrotoclax plus obinutuzumab or rituximab versus the current standard venetoclax plus rituximab for people whose CLL or SLL has come back or not responded to previous treatment. The goal is to see which approach helps keep the cancer from growing longer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05006716RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for certain B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial studies the safest dose and then effectiveness of BGB-16673 in people with specific B-cell malignancies. It may help by targeting cancer cells in these blood cancers, especially after other treatments like BTK inhibitors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07218341RecruitingPhase 4
Continuing pirtobrutinib for CLL or SLL patients
This trial continues treatment with the drug pirtobrutinib for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who are already in another study. It is not open to new patients.

What taking part in a leukemia 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 leukemia clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 211 recruiting leukemia 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 leukemia 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 leukemia 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.
