Papillary Thyroid Cancer clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 7 recruiting papillary thyroid cancer studies with a site in Texas — including Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT05024929Recruiting
Test targeted drugs to help radioactive iodine reach thyroid cancer
This study looks at whether certain cancer “targeted therapy” medicines can make radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy work better for thyroid cancer that has spread to the lungs. It also involves taking special whole-body scans to measure how much radioactive iodine gets taken up by the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges birth+ - NCT05668962RecruitingPhase 2
Study selpercatinib plus I-131 for RET thyroid cancer that cannot take iodine
This trial tests whether combining a targeted pill (selpercatinib) with a radioactive iodine dose (I-131) can shrink thyroid cancer that has spread and no longer responds to radioactive iodine. It is for RET fusion–positive (genetically driven) thyroid cancers where the cancer cannot reliably absorb iodine anymore.

Radiofrequency ablation for thyroid nodules and low-risk cancer
This trial tests radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment) for people with non-cancerous or suspicious thyroid nodules, or small thyroid cancers. It may be an option if you are not a candidate for or choose not to have surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06959511RecruitingPhase 2
Zanzalintinib for advanced thyroid cancer before surgery
This trial tests a drug called zanzalintinib for people with advanced thyroid cancer that has spread nearby. The goal is to see if taking this pill before surgery can shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07218315Recruiting
Electric Pulse Treatment for Small Thyroid Cancers
This trial is testing a new, non-surgical treatment that uses short electric pulses to destroy small papillary thyroid cancers. It may be an option for people with small tumors that haven't spread.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04981509RecruitingPhase 2
Check if 3 medicines help advanced kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab can shrink or control advanced kidney cancer. It’s aimed at people with certain kidney-cancer subtypes (including HLRCC-related cases or papillary kidney cancer) and who have not had many prior targeted or immune treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.

What taking part in a papillary thyroid cancer 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 papillary thyroid cancer clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 7 recruiting papillary thyroid cancer 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 papillary thyroid cancer 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 papillary thyroid cancer 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 papillary thyroid cancer 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.
