Recruiting studies in Texas
- 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04198766RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New OX40 immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (INBRX-106) alone or with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) for adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help the immune system fight cancer.
El Paso, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04038619RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant for immune-therapy diarrhea or bowel inflammation
This early-phase study tests whether stool/fecal microbiota transplant (a fecal transplant) can help people who develop significant diarrhea or colitis after immune-checkpoint therapy. It aims to reduce bowel inflammation and improve symptoms, while carefully checking for infections.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03340506RecruitingPhase 4
Follow-on treatment study for dabrafenib and trametinib
This study lets people who finished a prior dabrafenib/trametinib trial (sponsored by Novartis or former GSK) continue those medicines if the study doctor thinks it will help. It mainly focuses on ongoing treatment benefit rather than testing a new drug.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT03093909RecruitingPhase 1
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 - NCT02332668RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pembrolizumab for children with advanced, hard-to-treat cancer
This trial tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy that helps the body recognize and attack cancer) in children with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma that can’t be cured. It’s designed for kids who have already tried standard treatments or don’t have standard treatment options.
Dallas, TexasAges 6 months–17 years - NCT01772771Recruiting
Molecular testing to guide personalized cancer treatment plans
This trial uses special lab tests to look for tumor “molecular fingerprints” in your tumor or blood sample. The goal is to help your care team choose more personalized treatment options based on those results.

What taking part in a melanoma 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 melanoma clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 79 recruiting melanoma 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 melanoma 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 melanoma 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 melanoma 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.
