It’s for ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancers that have not responded to platinum chemotherapy or came back quickly.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Houston, TexasAges 40–75 - NCT04510597RecruitingPhase 3

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06668493RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A virus-based treatment for low-grade upper tract bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, nadofaragene firadenovec, which uses a harmless virus to deliver a signal that helps your immune system fight low-grade cancer in the upper part of the urinary tract (the kidney area). It's given directly into the kidney through a small tube, and may avoid more invasive surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06344052RecruitingPhase 2
SP-002 with Vismodegib for Advanced Basal Cell Cancer
This trial tests a new drug (SP-002) combined with vismodegib for people with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer that can't be treated with surgery or has come back after surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Humble, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05157763RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test ointment for small basal cell skin cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests EscharEx (an investigational treatment) to see if it is safe and works on a single small basal cell skin cancer on the trunk or upper arms. You might qualify if your cancer fits specific size and location rules and you have not had radiation to that spot.
Webster, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06463665RecruitingPhase 2
Virus therapy with chemo and immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a virus to attack cancer cells, combined with standard chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than a different chemotherapy drug alone.

What taking part in a renal cell carcinoma 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.
