AI helps predict glioma molecular changes from tumor images
This trial uses an AI computer program to predict the molecular features of a primary brain tumor (glioma) by looking at tumor tissue images. Your results could help researchers better match glioma subtypes to more tailored care, using information obtained from the surgery sample.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 1–95 - NCT05042687Recruiting
Compare a breast imaging scan with MRI in high-risk women
This study compares two ways of imaging the breast—molecular breast imaging (a scan that uses a small radioactive tracer) and standard breast MRI—to better find or rule out breast cancer. You may join if you are considered high risk and already have a breast MRI planned, and you can do both tests close together.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06830382Recruiting
HER2-PET scan for metastatic breast cancer treatment
This trial uses a special PET scan (HER2-PET) to see if a targeted drug (trastuzumab deruxtecan) works better for your type of metastatic breast cancer. The goal is to match the treatment to how much HER2 protein your tumors show.
SolnaAges 18 years+ - NCT07531329Recruiting
Delayed PSMA imaging to detect aggressive prostate cancer
This study tests whether a special type of imaging scan (PSMA PET/CT with delayed imaging) can better identify aggressive prostate cancer in men who haven't had a biopsy yet. The goal is to help doctors decide who really needs a biopsy and avoid unnecessary procedures.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT05328505Recruiting
Imaging-guided radiation for prostate cancer that came back
This trial tests whether a special scan (PSMA PET) can help doctors aim and adjust radiation more precisely when prostate cancer returns after surgery. It may help by increasing dose to areas that look involved while lowering dose to uninvolved pelvic areas.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07608848RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Imaging study of new cancer-targeting radioactive drugs
This study tests two new radioactive drugs designed to find and image advanced breast or prostate cancer. The drugs use special imaging scans (PET and SPECT) to locate tumors and may help guide future treatment decisions.
Perth, Western AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05030597Recruiting
PET scans targeting FAP for oral cancer and recurrence
This trial uses a special PET scan that targets a substance called FAP to better find oral squamous cell cancer and check for recurrence. It may help doctors see where cancer activity is and guide treatment planning, especially around surgery and (for some people) neoadjuvant therapy before surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT04547309Recruiting
Imaging test using a HER2-targeting tracer
This trial studies an imaging tracer that targets HER2, a protein that can be found in certain cancers. It may help doctors see where HER2-positive tumors are in the body using scans.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06226987Recruiting
Heart imaging study for Fabry disease
This study uses special MRI scans to look at how Fabry disease affects the heart. It may help researchers understand the disease better.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18 years+ - NCT03684109Recruiting
MRI scans to study brain tumors using molecular imaging
This study uses special MRI scans to better “characterize” (study) gliomas, a type of brain tumor, using information from your brain tissue. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a suspected or confirmed glioma and you already need a biopsy or surgery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04362644RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging agent study for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis lung scarring
This Phase 1 study tests a specialized imaging agent that can help show differences (heterogeneity) in lung scarring in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It’s mainly about safety and whether the imaging works for people with certain genetic and lung-function features.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–85 - NCT04629326Recruiting
Imaging scan that targets PD-L1 in digestive cancer
This study tests an imaging method that looks for PD-L1 (a protein linked to some cancers) in solid tumors, including gastrointestinal cancers. It may help doctors better see where PD-L1 is in the body using a scan.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04723810RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test a glowing scan to help surgeons find tumor tissue
This early-stage study tests an intraoperative imaging approach called “TumorGlow” to help surgeons better identify tumor tissue during surgery. It may help improve the completeness of tumor removal and reduce the chance of recurrence in certain patients.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05205291Recruiting
Imaging inflammation in Parkinson’s using PET/MR scans
This study uses special brain scans (PET/MR) to see inflammation in people with Parkinson’s disease or related conditions. It may help researchers better understand what drives symptoms and how inflammation changes in the brain.
ExeterAges 50–85 - NCT05725876RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging ustekinumab medicine movement in Crohn’s and psoriasis
This Phase 1 study uses a special camera to track how ustekinumab (a common biologic medicine) spreads in inflamed tissue. It aims to help researchers understand where the drug goes in Crohn’s disease and psoriasis, especially when standard treatments haven’t worked.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06057844Recruiting
PET scan to detect active blood clots
This study uses a special PET scan to see if it can detect active blood clots. It is looking for healthy volunteers to help test the imaging method, not people who already have a clot.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06107608Recruiting
Scan for tumors in lung cancer patients on immunotherapy
This study uses a special type of PET scan to look at specific cells in non-small cell lung cancer tumors that might help doctors understand how well immunotherapy treatments are working. If you are about to start immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer, you may be able to join.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06191120Recruiting
FAPI PET scan for aggressive colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial uses a special PET scan (FAPI) to detect a specific, more aggressive type of colorectal cancer (CMS4) in people who have liver tumors that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if the scan can help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06369831RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging test for HER2 in metastatic cancer
This trial uses a special imaging scan to see if your cancer has HER2 on its surface, which could help decide if HER2-targeted treatment might work for you. It's for people with metastatic breast cancer or other solid tumors that have spread.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT06629207Recruiting
AI predicts Parkinson's risk in sleep behavior disorder
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze brain scans and predict whether people with REM sleep behavior disorder are at risk of developing Parkinson's disease. It aims to find early signs before symptoms appear.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for molecular imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 49 recruiting molecular imaging studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a molecular imaging trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a molecular imaging trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
