Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT04423211RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-recovered prostate cancer treated with PET-guided radiation
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation guided by a PET scan (along with hormone therapy) can improve outcomes for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. The PET scan helps doctors look for spots outside the usual radiation area so treatment can be tailored.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07097142RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation for bladder cancer with chemo
This trial tests if a shorter course of radiation therapy works as well as the usual longer course for people with bladder cancer who are also receiving standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if shorter treatment can reduce side effects while still being effective.
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.
Fort Sam 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+ - NCT06958328RecruitingPhase 3
Higher dose radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether giving a higher dose of radiation to the pancreas is safe and effective for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who have already had chemotherapy without progression.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06698458Recruiting
DaRT radiation plus chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new type of radiation called DaRT (Alpha DaRT) combined with standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that is locally advanced or has spread. The goal is to see if adding this radiation treatment can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18–120 - NCT06368817RecruitingPhase 2
Lower radiation dose for children with CNS germinoma
This trial will see if giving a lower dose of radiation therapy can still effectively treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called germinoma. The goal is to reduce side effects while keeping the cancer under control.
Houston, TexasAges 3–29 - NCT06065449RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two radiation therapies for painful bone metastases
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy to relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. It aims to see whether a more targeted, high-dose approach (SBRT) works better than standard palliative radiation.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT03422302Recruiting
CPAP or breath-holding to reduce lung tumor motion
This study looks at whether using a CPAP breathing device or deep breath-holding can keep lung tumors from moving during targeted radiation. The goal is to improve safety and accuracy of stereotactic body radiation for lung cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07575815Recruiting
Understanding Anxiety in Children During Radiation Therapy
This study watches how children feel anxious before and during radiation therapy treatment at MD Anderson. By understanding anxiety patterns, doctors hope to better support children and families going through this experience.
Houston, TexasAges 2–12 - NCT07467720Recruiting
Study on reducing radiation in peripheral artery procedures
This trial is for the interventional care team, not patients, testing a device that may reduce radiation exposure during planned leg artery procedures.
Plano, TexasAges Any age - NCT07076485RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter radiation after surgery for node-positive breast cancer
This trial tests shorter radiation schedules for people with breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or is high-risk. It aims to find a shorter course of radiation that is just as effective after surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07061964RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation to save the bladder
This trial tests whether combining immunotherapy and low-dose radiation after chemotherapy can help you avoid bladder removal. It's for people whose muscle-invasive bladder cancer has shrunk significantly after initial treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07061977RecruitingPhase 3
New cancer drug combo for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests if giving the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab before and after standard chemoradiation works better than the standard approach for people with high-risk cervical cancer that has spread locally.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06909201Recruiting
Lung MRI scan to study radiation treatment effects
This study uses a special MRI scan with xenon gas to see how radiation therapy affects your lungs. It may help doctors better understand treatment response and side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06434350RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Enfortumab vedotin and radiation for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a drug called enfortumab vedotin combined with radiation therapy for people with locally advanced bladder cancer that hasn't spread to distant organs. The goal is to see if this combination works better than radiation alone and helps control the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06369246RecruitingPhase 2
Five-session radiation for advanced prostate cancer
This trial is testing a shorter course of radiation therapy (5 sessions instead of many) for men with prostate cancer that is at a higher risk but hasn't spread. The goal is to see if fewer, higher-dose treatments work as well while being more convenient.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05197881Recruiting
Daily adaptive radiation for newly diagnosed cervical cancer
This study tests a radiation plan that is adjusted day by day to better match your cervix and surrounding tissues during treatment. It’s for newly diagnosed, advanced cervical cancer patients who will receive standard pelvic radiation and chemotherapy.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06295783Recruiting
Study of questionnaires for radiation side effects in head and neck cancer
This study looks at how different questionnaires can better measure the side effects of radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. If you are a current or recent patient, your answers could help improve how doctors monitor and manage these side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06023641RecruitingPhase 2
Liposomal irinotecan for children with rhabdomyosarcoma
This trial tests a new way to treat rhabdomyosarcoma using a targeted drug (liposomal irinotecan) based on the tumor's genetic makeup and risk group. It aims to improve outcomes for children and young adults with intermediate or high-risk disease.
Fort Worth, TexasAges Up to 22 years - NCT06004336RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy after radiation for limited spread kidney cancer
This trial tests whether giving a maintenance medication (pembrolizumab) after targeted radiation helps keep kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots (5 or fewer) from growing. You would receive radiation to each spot and then be randomly assigned to receive either the medication or a placebo (inactive substance) for up to about 2 years.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05929612RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose targeted radiation alone for marginal zone lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether very low-dose radiation (adjusted based on how you respond) can treat marginal zone lymphoma without adding other medicines at first. It may help some people by reducing radiation exposure while still controlling the cancer.

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.
Common questions
- Are there radiation clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 91 recruiting radiation 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 radiation 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 radiation 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.
