Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT04888338Recruiting
Studying outcomes after CAR-T, radiation, or bispecific therapy
This study looks at how people with blood cancers do after they receive CAR-T therapy, radiation therapy, and/or bispecific therapy. It may help doctors understand which treatment combinations work best and what side effects to expect.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04684368RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment study for children and young adults with NGGCT brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a new treatment approach for certain brain tumors called NGGCT in children and young adults. It may help improve outcomes by targeting tumors in specific brain locations and using tumor marker tests to guide care.
Houston, TexasAges 3–29 - NCT05011045Recruiting
Brain radiation study tracking thinking and memory changes
This study looks at how whole-brain radiation affects thinking, memory, and other brain function in people with blood cancers that involve the brain. It may help doctors understand what to expect and which supportive treatments or monitoring could be useful.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07076498RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy for children and adults with diffuse midline glioma
This trial tests a modified herpes virus (M032) given directly into the brain tumor after standard radiation. The goal is to see if this virus can slow or stop the growth of diffuse midline glioma, a type of brain cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 3 years+ - NCT07049848RecruitingPhase 2
Study of atezolizumab with chemo and radiation for high-risk sarcoma
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (atezolizumab), chemotherapy (doxorubicin), and radiation before and after surgery for people with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma in the arm, leg, or trunk. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04947254RecruitingPhase 2
Add niraparib to hormone therapy after prostate radiation
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding niraparib to standard hormone therapy (androgen ablation) after radiation works better for men with high-risk, localized or locally advanced prostate cancer. It may help control the cancer for longer, while also collecting extra tissue and blood to study why the treatment works or doesn’t.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05406232Recruiting
Radiation study to track immune changes in breast cancer
This study gives a short course of radiation to the breast or chest wall and measures how your immune system responds. It may help doctors better understand which immune changes happen after radiation and how this could improve palliative (symptom-relieving) care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05336383RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation after prior CAR T for relapsed multiple myeloma
This trial tests giving “salvage” radiation (radiation meant to control remaining cancer) after you’ve already had BCMA CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma. It’s for people whose PET or other scan still shows active myeloma at least 30 days after CAR-T, and who have a spot that radiation can target.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05774678RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery radiation options for invasive breast cancer
This trial compares two schedules of radiation given before mastectomy to see which works better for invasive breast cancer, followed by immediate breast reconstruction. It also studies tiny “biomarker” signals in tissue to learn why one radiation approach may help more.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05674396RecruitingPhase 2
Short-course radiation to ease symptoms from head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a specific, shorter type of focused radiation to help relieve symptoms from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It compares two radiation timing/planning approaches to see which better improves comfort and quality of life.
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+ - NCT05844982RecruitingPhase 3
Eye injections or steroid implant to prevent vision loss
This trial studies ways to prevent worsening vision caused by radiation damage to the retina after plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma. You may be randomly assigned to a medication injection, a steroid implant, or observation to see which approach best protects vision.
Bellaire, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05198830RecruitingPhase 2
Adding TRC102 to standard chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding TRC102 to standard chemotherapy plus radiation can improve outcomes for people with stage III non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer. It is designed for newly staged patients and aims to help the immune system work better while treating the tumor.

What taking part in a radiation 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.
