Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06958328RecruitingPhase 3

You may receive a drug, a radioactive treatment, or a combination based on your tumor's molecular profile.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06625775RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BBO-10203 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called BBO-10203, alone or combined with other cancer treatments, for people with certain advanced breast, colorectal, or lung cancers. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06626919RecruitingPhase 1
A cell therapy trial for generalized myasthenia gravis
This trial tests a new cell therapy called anitocabtagene autoleucel (anito-cel) for people with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) that is not well controlled with current treatments. The goal is to see if it can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06588478RecruitingPhase 2
Study of pirtobrutinib for CLL or SLL
This trial tests a new drug called pirtobrutinib for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It is for those whose cancer has come back or not responded to treatment, including a prior BTK inhibitor, and also for those who have never been treated but have a specific genetic change (17p deletion).
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06567743RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new virus therapy for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new virus-based medicine, cretostimogene grenadenorepvec, given directly into the bladder for people with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back, especially for those who have not had BCG treatment or whose cancer did not respond to BCG.

The Woodlands, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06513962RecruitingPhase 3
Triptorelin to protect ovaries in young women with cancer

What taking part in a oncology 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 oncology clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 110 recruiting oncology 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 oncology 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 oncology 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 oncology 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.
