Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT07306559RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests different doses of a new drug (BI 3820768) in people with advanced solid tumors, specifically germ cell tumors, endometrial cancer, or ovarian cancer. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03686124RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

What taking part in a refractory 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 refractory cancer clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 77 recruiting refractory 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 refractory 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 refractory 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 refractory 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.
