Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06126276RecruitingPhase 2
Testing neratinib with or without palbociclib for HER2+ solid tumors
This trial tests two targeted drugs—neratinib alone or with palbociclib—for people with HER2-positive solid tumors (other than breast cancer) that have returned or not gone away. The goal is to see if blocking HER2 and CDK4/6 can shrink or slow the tumor.

Testing two targeted drugs for KRAS G12C advanced cancer
This study tests two oral medicines (elironrasib and daraxonrasib) given alone or together to see if they can shrink tumors or slow down cancer growth in people with advanced solid tumors that have a KRAS G12C mutation. It is for people who have already tried other treatments.

Study of MBRC-101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MBRC-101, that targets a protein called EphA5 found on some cancer cells. It is for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, breast, or pancreatic cancer) that have stopped responding to other treatments. The study aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors.
Irving, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05987241RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using a blood test to guide immunotherapy after bladder/kidney cancer surgery

Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05985655RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GTAEXS617 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called GTAEXS617 for adults with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05983432RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-B01D1 for advanced lung and other solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called BL-B01D1 for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. It's designed for those whose cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05989893Recruiting
Mapping human thinking during brain surgery

Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT05947838Recruiting
Blood test helps choose chemotherapy before colorectal or appendix surgery
This study uses a blood test called ctDNA to help tailor (personalize) neoadjuvant chemotherapy for people with colorectal or appendix cancer before surgery. The goal is to see if using ctDNA can help doctors pick the most appropriate chemotherapy plan for you.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05948865RecruitingPhase 1
Early trial drug for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests CPO301 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have worsened or cannot be treated with standard options. It aims to find the safest dose and understand how the treatment affects tumors, especially in certain lung cancer groups.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05877599RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial tests a new type of therapy (NT-175) for people with certain advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change. It might help if your tumor has the TP53 R175H mutation and you have the HLA-A*02:01 immune marker.
Round Rock, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05856370Recruiting
Study for follow-up of Medtronic spine or skull devices
This study checks how well certain Medtronic devices for the skull or spine are working in real-world care. If you’re getting one of these devices, you may be asked to do scheduled follow-up visits and assessments to confirm safety and performance.
Frisco, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05872295RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for HER2-positive advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests IKS014 to see how safe it is and how well it works in advanced solid tumors that have HER2. You may be eligible if your tumor is HER2-positive (including certain “low HER2” types) and your body’s blood counts and organ function are strong enough.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05843253RecruitingPhase 2
Ribociclib plus everolimus or temozolomide for certain brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests ribociclib with either everolimus or temozolomide, depending on the specific brain tumor type. It may help slow tumor growth in children and young adults whose tumor has specific genetic changes and who have had recent standard radiation therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 1–39 - NCT05839379Recruiting
Targeted therapy study for children and young adults with brain tumors
This trial studies a targeted medicine approach for high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) and some diffuse midline tumors, including DIPG. It may help by matching treatment to tumor biology using tumor testing done before or around starting standard therapy.

What taking part in a tumor 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 tumor clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 578 recruiting tumor 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 tumor 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 tumor 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 tumor 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.
