Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT04895709RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests how well a new drug (BMS-986340) works alone and combined with other treatments in people with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard care. It also studies tumor samples to look for biomarkers that may predict who benefits.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07564401RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T Cell Therapy for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study tests DJI136, a new type of cell therapy that trains your immune cells to fight small cell lung cancer. The therapy targets a protein called DLL3 found on cancer cells. It's designed for patients whose cancer has returned or progressed after initial chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
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+ - NCT07187778RecruitingPhase 2
Kidney cancer treatment before surgery
This trial tests two drugs, alone or together, given before surgery to shrink kidney cancer tumors. It aims to see which approach works best for patients with intermediate- to high-risk clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06706076RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Experimental pill for lung cancer with EGFR or HER2 changes
This study tests an experimental pill that targets cancer cells with certain gene changes (EGFR or HER2). It may help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06207799RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo before and after transplant for high-risk myeloma
This trial tests a two-step approach for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk multiple myeloma who are eligible for a stem cell transplant. You'll get a drug called elranatamab before transplant to 'purge' the cancer, and then after transplant, you'll get maintenance therapy guided by how well your cancer is controlled. The goal is to see if this reduces the chance of the cancer coming back.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT05091372RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance treatment after transplant for newly diagnosed myeloma
This trial tests whether using belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide as long-term maintenance after an autologous stem cell transplant can keep multiple myeloma under control, guided by minimal residual disease (MRD). MRD is a very small amount of disease that may remain after transplant, and the study helps see if treating those patients better improves outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02726750Recruiting
Study of early plasma cell blood conditions before myeloma
This is an observational study that follows people with early blood findings that can be linked to multiple myeloma, to understand what happens over time. It does not test a new drug for most people; instead, it tracks health, lab results, and imaging to learn who may develop myeloma.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06119581RecruitingPhase 3
Oloromosib with Immunotherapy as First Treatment for KRAS G12C Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new targeted pill (olomorasib) combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and possibly chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation and has not been treated before.
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+ - NCT04745949RecruitingPhase 2
Testing first-line antibody plus immunotherapy for mediastinal lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of antibody therapy and immunotherapy (plus standard chemo) as first treatment for primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. It may help shrink the lymphoma and improve how long patients stay in remission.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06213311RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T-cells plus antibody drug for relapsed large B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests two immune-based treatments—first a special type of immunotherapy (CAR T-cells, called axi-cel), then a targeted antibody drug (glofitamab)—for people with large B-cell lymphoma that did not fully respond to their first treatment or came back within a year. The goal is to see if this combination can help more people achieve lasting remission.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05092451RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CD70-targeting NK cell therapy for blood cancer relapse
This study tests an immune therapy made from cord blood “NK cells” that are engineered to attack cells with a marker called CD70. It’s given after chemotherapy that reduces your blood and immune system, aiming to treat relapse or refractory (not responding) blood cancers.
Houston, TexasAges 12–80 - NCT05136807Recruiting
Quality of life study for people with MGUS or smoldering myeloma
This study looks at how patients feel day to day (quality of life) while they are monitored or treated for MGUS or smoldering multiple myeloma. It is designed for people who do NOT yet have “myeloma defining events” or amyloidosis, because the goal is to understand well-being in earlier disease stages.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06805825RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NN3201 for advanced cancers with c-Kit
This trial tests a new drug, NN3201, that targets a protein called c-Kit found on some cancer cells. It may be an option for people with certain advanced solid tumors, including GIST, small cell lung cancer, or other c-Kit-positive cancers, who have already tried standard treatments or cannot take them.
