Improving lung cancer diagnosis with synthetic PET scans
This study uses a computer-generated PET scan from your CT scan to help doctors diagnose and plan treatment for non-small cell lung cancer more precisely. It is observational, meaning no new treatments are given—just extra imaging analysis.
Zunyi, GuizhouAges 18–85 - NCT04383808Recruiting
PET/MRI scan with a small injected tracer
This study tests a new brain PET “insert” that can work at the same time as MRI to create brain images. If you’re healthy and can receive an approved injected tracer (FDG or Neuraceq), you may be able to help confirm the device works safely and clearly.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT07147309Recruiting
PET scans for epilepsy surgery planning
This trial tests three types of PET scans to help doctors exactly locate the part of the brain causing seizures before surgery. It's for people with epilepsy that isn't controlled by medication and who are already planning surgery or an SEEG.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–50 - NCT06358222Recruiting
Lung cancer trial testing blood test and PET scan for spread
This trial studies if a blood test that looks for tumor DNA combined with a PET-CT scan can better predict if lung cancer has spread to lymph nodes. It may help guide treatment decisions for people with non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05360082Recruiting
Brain scan study comparing two PET tracers in Huntington disease
This study compares two different brain imaging tracers to see which one shows Huntington disease brain changes better. It may help improve how doctors measure and track Huntington disease using PET-MRI scans.
LeuvenAges 20–75 - NCT06457789Recruiting
PET scans to track immune response in lung cancer treatment
This study uses special PET scans to see how well your immune cells respond to immunotherapy given before surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to learn which patients benefit most from this treatment approach.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05586581RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET and MRI scans to study brain changes in treated HIV
This study uses PET and MRI scans, plus blood tests and memory/thinking questionnaires, to understand what drives brain problems in people living with HIV even during treatment. It may help researchers learn why symptoms happen and how treatment relates to brain function.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–80 - NCT05011760RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET brain scan with a cocaine-use disorder medicine test
This early-phase study uses a PET brain scan (a special imaging test) to see how the brain responds in people with cocaine use disorder. It aims to better understand brain activity and whether this scan approach could help research or future treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–55 - NCT04987086Recruiting
68Ga PSMA PET-CT for kidney cancer spread
This study checks whether a special PET-CT scan using 68Ga PSMA can better find where renal cell carcinoma has spread. It may help doctors plan the right next steps by confirming suspected metastases on CT.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–90 - NCT04787744RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test standard prostate cancer treatment with or without targeted spot radiation
This study tests whether adding targeted local treatment (like radiation to a few spots seen on scans) improves outcomes for some people with limited (oligometastatic) prostate cancer. It compares standard systemic therapy alone versus standard therapy plus PET-scan–guided spot treatment.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02019706RecruitingPhase 2
