Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05039801RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug IACS-6274 tested for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests the experimental drug IACS-6274, sometimes with bevacizumab and paclitaxel, in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to find the safest dose and to learn whether the treatment can shrink or control cancer for certain tumor mutation types.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05039632RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NBTXR3 plus radiation with anti-PD-1 for advanced lung or liver cancers
This study tests whether adding NBTXR3 (given into a tumor) and targeted radiation to anti–PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy can improve cancer control in advanced cancers that have spread to the lung and/or liver. Participants may be assigned to different radiation approaches to try to trigger tumor shrinkage in both treated and nearby or distant tumor areas.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04265430RecruitingPhase 4
MRI scans to predict normal-tissue side effects after treatment
This trial uses repeated MRI scans to better predict which patients may develop painful jaw and mouth tissue problems after radiation and/or certain bone or blood-vessel medicines. It may help clinicians spot problems earlier and tailor follow-up care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07572006RecruitingPhase 1
Study of JNJ-95804306 for blood cancers that returned or didn't respond
This trial tests a new drug called JNJ-95804306 for people with certain blood cancers (like acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia) that have come back or stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and if it can help.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06120283RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BGB-43395 alone or with other drugs for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called BGB-43395 alone or with other treatments for advanced solid tumors, especially breast cancer. The goal is to find the best dose and see how well it works. It may be an option if your cancer has not responded to other treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04551378Recruiting
Study of how COVID affected young people with cancer
This study looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the experiences of teenagers and young adults with cancer, including people who finished treatment. It may help improve support for cancer patients and survivors during public health crises.

Testing neratinib with or without palbociclib for HER2+ solid tumors
This trial tests two targeted drugs—neratinib alone or with palbociclib—for people with HER2-positive solid tumors (other than breast cancer) that have returned or not gone away. The goal is to see if blocking HER2 and CDK4/6 can shrink or slow the tumor.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06131801Recruiting
Crushed venetoclax tablet solution study for blood cancers
This study checks how the body handles venetoclax when it's given as a liquid made from crushed tablets. It's for children and young adults with blood cancers who already take venetoclax crushed or through a feeding tube.

Breathing treatment with gemcitabine for lung cancer spread
This early-stage trial studies an inhaled (aerosol) form of gemcitabine to treat solid tumors that have spread to the lungs. It aims to see whether this lung-focused treatment is safe and how well it might work when standard curative options are not available.
Houston, TexasAges 12–50 - NCT04693377Recruiting
Freezing tumor treatment plus targeted radiation for painful bone spread
This study tests whether combining a “freezing” procedure (cryoablation) with focused external radiation (SBRT) can reduce pain from bone metastases. It’s for people with certain cancers that have spread to bone and are having significant pain in a specific bone spot.

What taking part in a malignant neoplasm 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

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.
