Minimal Residual Disease clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 11 recruiting minimal residual disease studies with a site in Texas — including Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT07316010RecruitingPhase 2
Liso-cel for lymphoma with minimal residual disease after first treatment
This trial tests a type of CAR T-cell therapy (called liso-cel) for people with large B-cell lymphoma who still have tiny traces of cancer after their first treatment. The goal is to see if liso-cel can get rid of those remaining cancer cells and prevent the cancer from coming back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04739072Recruiting
Check colorectal cancer blood tests after curative treatment
This study measures “minimal residual disease,” meaning tiny amounts of cancer that may remain after surgery, using blood samples. It may help doctors better detect who is at higher risk of cancer coming back and guide follow-up care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05091372RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance treatment after transplant for newly diagnosed myeloma
This trial tests whether using belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide as long-term maintenance after an autologous stem cell transplant can keep multiple myeloma under control, guided by minimal residual disease (MRD). MRD is a very small amount of disease that may remain after transplant, and the study helps see if treating those patients better improves outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05343013RecruitingPhase 2
TAS-102 with or without celecoxib for leftover colon cancer DNA
This Phase 2 study tests TAS-102, with or without celecoxib, to treat “minimal residual disease” (tiny traces of colon cancer) found in a blood test after standard chemotherapy. The goal is to reduce the chance that colon cancer returns after treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Austin, TexasAges 40 years+ - NCT05676450Recruiting
Test blood DNA to find lymphoma changes and leftover disease
This study checks a blood test that looks for small DNA fragments (“cell-free DNA”) to find cancer changes that could guide treatment in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It also looks for “minimal residual disease,” meaning tiny amounts of lymphoma that may remain after treatment, and whether this test works across community cancer centers in Texas.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06083844RecruitingPhase 2
Keytruda + Avastin + chemo for ovarian cancer with minimal remaining disease
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—pembrolizumab (Keytruda, an immunotherapy), bevacizumab (Avastin, a blood-vessel blocker), and oral cyclophosphamide (a chemotherapy pill)—for women with high-grade ovarian cancer who have only tiny bits of disease left after finishing their initial treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06230185Recruiting
Blood test to monitor treatment response in triple-negative breast cancer
This trial is testing whether a blood test can track how well chemotherapy is working in people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. You would provide blood samples before and during treatment, and the results may help your doctor understand your response better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06878131Recruiting
Precision-MRD: Targeted therapy study for colorectal cancer with MRD
This study looks at how well targeted therapies work for people with colorectal cancer who have minimal residual disease (MRD, tiny amounts of cancer left after treatment) detected by a blood test. It is for people who have a specific genetic change (biomarker) in their tumor and have not been treated with the targeted therapy for that biomarker before.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01499394Recruiting
Biorepository study for adults who can consent
This study collects and stores samples (such as tissue or other biological materials) for future research. It mainly seeks adults who can agree to participate after understanding what it involves.
Texarkana, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06974786RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell engager vs stem cell transplant for newly diagnosed myeloma
This trial compares two approaches after initial therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: a T-cell engager (elranatamab) versus a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see which provides better control of the disease, using sensitive MRD testing to guide further treatment.

What taking part in a minimal residual disease 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 minimal residual disease clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 11 recruiting minimal residual disease 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 minimal residual disease 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 minimal residual disease 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 minimal residual disease 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.
