Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06066424RecruitingPhase 1
TROP2-targeted NK cells for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy using your own immune cells (NK cells) that are specially engineered to attack cancer cells that have a protein called TROP2. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04708054RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Venetoclax with busulfan chemo for high-risk AML or MDS
This study tests whether adding venetoclax to a specific busulfan-based chemotherapy plan improves outcomes for people with high-risk AML or MDS. It mainly targets patients whose leukemia/marrow disease still has high-risk features or measurable disease after initial treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT02464696Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support to avoid tube breathing in cancer
This trial studies a mask-based breathing treatment (noninvasive ventilation) for people with cancer and serious breathing trouble, to see if it can prevent the need for intubation (putting a breathing tube in). If you qualify, the goal is to help you breathe better without invasive airway support when possible.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07101432RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation plus engineered NK cells for advanced head and neck cancer
This early-phase trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy combined with radiation for advanced head and neck cancer. The cells are engineered to target the TROP2 marker on cancer cells and are given after a short course of radiation to help them work better.
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+ - NCT05615636RecruitingPhase 2
Study of four medicines for relapsed B-cell lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of several medicines for people whose lymphoma has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to shrink the lymphoma by using different ways to attack B-cell cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04486833RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Genetic-targeted drug plus gene medicine for EGFR lung cancer
This trial studies a gene-based treatment added to osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer that has started growing again on osimertinib. It may help by attacking the cancer with both its usual target treatment and an added genetic approach.
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+ - NCT07513129RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combination for relapsed T-cell blood cancer in teens and young adults
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (venetoclax, dexamethasone, bortezomib, and daratumumab) to treat T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma that has come back or stopped responding to prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help patients aged 12–30 achieve remission.
Houston, TexasAges 12–30 - NCT06561074RecruitingPhase 2
Study of calaspargase, decitabine, and venetoclax for young T-cell cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (calaspargase, decitabine, and venetoclax) for children, teens, and young adults with T-cell leukemia or lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help destroy cancer cells.
Houston, TexasAges 1 month–21 years - NCT07223021RecruitingPhase 3
Fludarabine dosing study for B-cell ALL
This study tests a different dose of the chemotherapy drug fludarabine before CAR T-cell therapy (tisagenlecleucel) for children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal is to see if the new dose works better at helping the body accept the CAR T cells while keeping side effects manageable.
Houston, TexasAges 1 year+ - NCT05987241RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using a blood test to guide immunotherapy after bladder/kidney cancer surgery
This study tests whether a blood test that detects tumor DNA can help guide the use of immunotherapy (nivolumab with or without relatlimab) after surgery for urothelial cancer. The goal is to see if starting immunotherapy based on the blood test results can prevent the cancer from coming back.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06083883RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy targeting NY-ESO-1 for sarcomas
This trial tests a new kind of immune therapy using your own natural killer (NK) cells that are specially trained to find and attack cancer cells that have the NY-ESO-1 target. It is for people with certain sarcomas or other advanced solid tumors that have not responded to prior treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 16–80 - NCT06345495RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose ruxolitinib and stem cell transplant for enlarged spleen in myelofibrosis
This trial tests a higher dose of ruxolitinib before a stem cell transplant for people with myelofibrosis who have an enlarged spleen. It aims to see if this approach helps the transplant work better.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT04614194RecruitingPhase 2
Blood and tumor markers to test response to abemaciclib
This trial studies how the immune system and other body signals in blood and tumor tissue relate to how well abemaciclib works before breast cancer surgery. The goal is to learn who benefits most from this medicine and why.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06807606RecruitingPhase 2
Cord blood transplant after relapse from first transplant
This trial tests a second transplant using two donated umbilical cord blood units for people whose blood cancer returned after a first stem cell transplant. It aims to offer a potential cure for high-risk blood cancers.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 60 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+ - 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+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05645718RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus targeted antibodies for relapsed childhood B-ALL
This Phase 2 study tests a combination treatment for children, teens, or young adults whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) has come back or did not respond to initial therapy. It may help patients who cannot safely receive certain standard medicines like anthracyclines or who cannot tolerate PEG-asparaginase.
Houston, TexasAges 1–25 - NCT06383572RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Modified immune cells for blood cancers after chemo
This trial tests a new type of immune cell (NK cell) that has been engineered to target a protein called PRAME found on some cancer cells. It is for people with certain types of blood cancer (AML, MDS, or CMML) that have come back or not responded to treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT02727803RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized natural killer cell therapy for blood cancers
This trial tests a customized immune-cell treatment (NK cells) for certain blood cancers to try to control or eliminate cancer cells. You may qualify if your cancer has come back, did not fully respond, or has higher risk features.
Houston, TexasAges 15–80 - NCT03896269RecruitingPhase 1
CPX-351 for high-risk MDS or CMML that came back
This Phase 1 trial studies CPX-351, a cancer medicine, in people with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) whose disease relapsed or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink or control the leukemia and improve blood counts in patients who cannot or do not want a stem cell transplant.

What taking part in a renal cell 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.
