Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT04787744RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test standard prostate cancer treatment with or without targeted spot radiation
This study tests whether adding targeted local treatment (like radiation to a few spots seen on scans) improves outcomes for some people with limited (oligometastatic) prostate cancer. It compares standard systemic therapy alone versus standard therapy plus PET-scan–guided spot treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01913106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing valacyclovir with an added cancer gene in prostate radiation
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether adding a cancer-targeting gene therapy (HSV-tk) and the antiviral medicine valacyclovir to brachytherapy can better treat recurrent prostate cancer in the prostate area. It may help by making cancer cells more vulnerable to the treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT07611110RecruitingPhase 3
AZD2265 vs standard care for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new cancer-fighting drug called AZD2265 against standard treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. You may qualify if your cancer previously responded to PSMA-targeted radiation treatments but is now growing again.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06842498RecruitingPhase 2
FG-3246 for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called FG-3246, which targets a protein (CD46) on prostate cancer cells. It's for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone therapy, and who have had limited prior treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06239194RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MdX2001 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MDX2001, for people with advanced solid tumors that have spread. The study aims to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06172478RecruitingPhase 2
HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07590934RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combination study for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests several new drug combinations for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone treatments. It aims to find better ways to control the disease and improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT04075305Recruiting
Study measuring radiation treatment outcomes with an MR-Linac
This study follows what happens when radiation treatment is guided using an MR-Linac (a special machine that combines MRI imaging with radiation). It may help improve how radiation therapy is planned and assessed, especially for people who can safely have MRI scans.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05946213RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation works as well as the usual longer course for people with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and inconvenience.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07377006Recruiting
Genetic testing decision support for prostate cancer
This study tests a tool to help prostate cancer patients understand and decide about genetic testing. It is designed for patients at LBJ Hospital who have been recommended for testing by their doctor.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06910657RecruitingPhase 1
IDOV-Immune vaccine for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental virus-based treatment for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies. The treatment is designed to infect and destroy cancer cells while boosting the immune system.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07719361RecruitingPhase 1
New drug for advanced, treatment-resistant prostate cancer
This study tests an experimental drug for men whose prostate cancer has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone therapies. It may be an option if your PSA is rising despite treatment with drugs like enzalutamide or abiraterone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07723248RecruitingPhase 3
Oral Rinzimetostat for Advanced Prostate Cancer After Abiraterone
This study tests an experimental pill called rinzimetostat (ORIC-944) for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to abiraterone. It may offer a new option if you have not had many other treatments yet.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06066437RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lutetium before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This trial tests a radioactive drug (lutetium) given before surgery to men with high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if it can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04729114RecruitingPhase 1
Safety and dose test of PRL-02 shot for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how safe PRL-02 depot (an injection) is and finds the best dose for men with advanced prostate cancer. It may help determine a new treatment option for cancers that have spread or are getting worse despite standard care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04693377Recruiting
Freezing tumor treatment plus targeted radiation for painful bone spread
This study tests whether combining a “freezing” procedure (cryoablation) with focused external radiation (SBRT) can reduce pain from bone metastases. It’s for people with certain cancers that have spread to bone and are having significant pain in a specific bone spot.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06217822RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new radiation therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, 225Ac-PSMA-Trillium, that targets prostate cancer cells. It is for people whose advanced prostate cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapy and may have spread.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05497024Recruiting
Decision aid testing for older men on prostate cancer surveillance
This trial tests an English decision aid (a patient guide) to help older men understand and feel comfortable with “active surveillance” for localized prostate cancer. It also checks how easy to use it is for patients, caregivers, and prostate cancer clinicians.
Houston, TexasAges 65 years+ - NCT06136650RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new oral drug called opevesostat against another standard hormone therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer controlled by a first hormone therapy. It's for men who have not had chemotherapy for this stage and who have not used a PARP inhibitor or chose not to.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06935097Enrolling by invitation
Mediterranean diet study for Black and Hispanic men with prostate cancer
This study tests whether a Mediterranean diet can help men with prostate cancer. You'll receive guidance on following this diet to see if it improves your health.

Study of two new drugs for advanced kidney, prostate, lung, or mesothelioma cancer
This study tests two new study drugs (TT-4 and TT-10) alone and together in people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if these drugs are safe and effective in shrinking tumors or slowing the cancer's growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05043012Recruiting
Testing a special MRI scan for prostate cancer diagnosis
This study checks how well a new prostate MRI scan (using a flexible coil and multiple MRI types) can correctly identify prostate cancer and help with treatment planning. You may be able to help doctors improve prostate imaging before you have surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06943521RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MT-4561 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MT-4561 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.

What taking part in a prostate 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.
