Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT07652047RecruitingPhase 1
Safety Study of CX11 Tablets for Weight Management
This study tests whether a new medication called CX11 is safe and well-tolerated at different doses in people with overweight or obesity. The goal is to understand how the body responds to the drug before larger trials test whether it helps with weight loss.

Brownsville, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07567001RecruitingPhase 3
Testing NNC0487-0111 for Heart Failure and Obesity
This study tests whether a new medication called NNC0487-0111 can help people with heart failure who also have obesity. Researchers will compare it to a placebo (inactive pill) to see if it improves heart function and overall health.

Negative pressure wound dressings after breast reconstruction in obesity
This trial tests whether a special “suction” dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after breast reconstruction using tissue from the belly, especially in people with higher body weight. You may be more likely to benefit if you’re at higher risk for wound problems after abdominal flap surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04838678RecruitingEarly Phase 1

Amarillo, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07656727RecruitingPhase 2
A study of BGE-102 for obesity and heart risk

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06447246Enrolling by invitation
Long-term effects of obesity on children's lungs and heart

What taking part in a overweight or obesity 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.

- 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.
