That would be my approach since you are willing to travel. Some people have to choose what is near them due to travel issues. Would think your onc would assist or have a listings in his office that your DH would qualify for since there may be some tumor testing to qualify that may save you some time in your search.
Also, There is a trial finder mentioned here:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49736&hilit=clinical+trial+finder&start=15Looks like you have already had this discussion to some extent here where Vilca provided a resource:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49736&p=386582&hilit=clinical+trial+finder#p386582If you are not familiar w/what the different trials are about, this would probably be a good place to start.
FYI, There is a feature on CT for book marking topics that you want to save for future reference. While visiting a topic, you will find the bookmark @ the bottom left of a page.
Typing clinical trial in the search box brings up a lot of useful info, some detailing their clinical trial experience (great for other searches too).
