Merkel Cell Carcinoma clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 9 recruiting merkel cell carcinoma studies with a site in Texas — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 2/Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06047379RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing NEO212 for brain tumors and metastases
This trial tests a new drug called NEO212 for people with certain brain tumors (like astrocytoma or glioblastoma) or cancer that has spread to the brain from other parts of the body. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help shrink or control the tumors.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05086692RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Beta-only IL-2 therapy for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests a beta-only version of IL-2, an immune-stimulating treatment, to shrink or control advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and to see if it can help patients by improving tumor response.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05100095RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation schedule study for Merkel cell skin cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a specific radiation timing/dose schedule for Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a rare and aggressive skin cancer. It may help by improving control of the cancer after surgery, especially in higher-risk cases (like lymph nodes).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06444815RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VET3-TGI for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental treatment called VET3-TGI, which is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried other treatments and are looking for new options.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06947928RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for Merkel cell cancer
This trial tests an experimental vaccine (IFx-Hu2.0) followed by the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab in people with advanced Merkel cell carcinoma who have not been treated with checkpoint inhibitors before. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink or control the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07080242RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a new drug called BL-M14D1 for people with certain types of advanced lung cancer or neuroendocrine tumors that have stopped responding to other treatments. It may be an option if your cancer has a specific marker called DLL3.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07115043RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AZD6750 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AZD6750 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02479698RecruitingPhase 2
T Cell treatment for cancers and BK/JC virus illness
This trial studies an infusion of “cytotoxic T lymphocytes” (immune cells) to treat people with certain cancers or illnesses caused by BK and/or JC viruses. It may help your immune system fight the virus and related organ complications when standard treatments have not worked well enough.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT07174583RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of IDE849 for DLL3-positive cancers like SCLC
This trial tests a new drug called IDE849 for cancers that make a protein called DLL3, including small cell lung cancer and some neuroendocrine tumors. It is for people whose cancer has progressed after standard treatments, and may be given alone or combined with other drugs like durvalumab or IDE161.

What taking part in a merkel 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.

Common questions
- Are there merkel cell carcinoma clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 9 recruiting merkel cell carcinoma 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 merkel cell carcinoma 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 merkel 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.
Not the right time?
New merkel cell carcinoma 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.
