Recruiting studies in Texas
- 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+ - NCT07602842RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing IDP-001 for advanced solid tumors
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called IDP-001 in people with advanced cancers that have spread or cannot be surgically removed. The study aims to find the right dose and see how well the drug works against various solid tumors.

Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new intravenous drug called ABBV-400 in people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if it can slow or stop tumor growth and to check for side effects.
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.

This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.

Baytown, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04267848RecruitingPhase 3
Testing immunotherapy with chemo after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy medicine to standard chemotherapy after surgery can improve outcomes for some people with non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.

What taking part in a squamous 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.

Common questions
- Are there squamous cell carcinoma clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 132 recruiting squamous cell carcinoma 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 squamous cell carcinoma 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 squamous cell carcinoma 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 squamous cell carcinoma 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.
