Compare two scans to find a suspected parathyroid overgrowth
This study compares a Sestamibi scan (with a special camera) versus a Fluorocholine scan (with PET/CT) to see which one better finds a suspected parathyroid adenoma. If your tests suggest a parathyroid problem but the first Sestamibi scan is negative or unclear, this trial may help answer the next best scan choice.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05892393RecruitingPhase 1
Scan test to find CD46-positive multiple myeloma lesions
This Phase 1 study tests a new special scan marker (a radioactive imaging agent) to see whether it can detect certain multiple myeloma spots in the body. If it works, it may help doctors better locate disease using a PET-style scan.

Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05747625RecruitingPhase 1
PET/CT scan using panitumumab to find head and neck cancer spread
This Phase 1 study tests a new way to use a scan (PET/CT) with a drug called panitumumab to help spot where head and neck squamous cell cancer has spread. It may help doctors better target treatment by finding metastases earlier or more clearly.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 19 years+ - NCT05749289RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
PET/CT scan for tumors with positive SSTR signals
This trial looks at how a special PET/CT scan using a substance called Al18F-octreotide can find and evaluate tumors that show a certain target signal (SSTR). It may help doctors better see where the tumor is and guide next steps in care.
Beijing, Chao YangAges 18 years+ - NCT05775939Recruiting
PET/CT scan study to track heart damage from cancer radiation
This study uses a special scan (PET/CT) to look for early heart (cardiac) injury caused by radiation treatment for lung or esophageal cancer. If you may be at higher heart risk from your planned radiation dose, the scan may help researchers better measure that damage over time.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04989959RecruitingPhase 1
PET/CT scan test in kidney cancer and related conditions
This Phase 1 study tests whether a special PET/CT scan drug ([18F]PT2385) can help doctors see kidney cancer and related tumors. It may help guide diagnosis and treatment decisions, especially in people planning surgery or starting belzutifan.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04546126RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan study tracking cholesterol movement in your body
This early study uses a special PET scan dye to see how cholesterol moves through the body. It is testing how the imaging works in healthy people and in people with adrenal gland hormone secretion problems, to better understand cholesterol handling.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05636540RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/CT scan test for a tumor protein in these rare tumors
This early study uses a special PET/CT scan to see how much a specific cancer-related protein (PARP-1) is present in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. It may help doctors understand the biology of these tumors and how useful this scan could be in the future.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05647564Recruiting
PET/CT scan to study why prostate cancer resists treatment
This study uses a PET/CT scan to learn how and why prostate cancer becomes resistant to treatment. It may help researchers better match future therapy choices for people whose prostate cancer is progressing.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05636748Recruiting
Study how blood clots affect stroke, using special scans
This study looks at how blood clots form and contribute to an acute ischemic (clot-related) stroke. It uses PET-CT scanning to better understand the process and may help improve how future stroke treatments are targeted.
EdinburghAges 18 years+ - NCT05658913Recruiting
Tau PET/CT scan study for people in an ongoing cohort
This study uses a special brain scan (tau PET/CT) to look for a protein called tau, and it ties the scan results to information collected in an existing research program. It may help researchers better understand brain changes over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–120 - NCT05562791RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PSMA PET/CT scans for metastatic bladder or skin cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how well a PSMA PET/CT scan can find cancer spots in people with metastatic bladder cancer (urothelial cancer) or metastatic melanoma. It may help doctors better see where cancer is and guide next steps.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05520255RecruitingPhase 3
PSMA PET/CT scan to guide care after prostate cancer treatment
This Phase 3 study checks whether a PSMA PET/CT scan (using a special tracer) can help doctors make better decisions for people with prostate cancer after treatment, based on PSA blood test changes. It may help identify whether cancer has spread or how to plan next steps.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05544136RecruitingPhase 2
Study of lower radiation and chemo for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether giving lower doses of radiation and chemotherapy is safe and effective for people with certain head and neck cancers. It aims to reduce side effects while keeping the treatment successful.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05518903RecruitingPhase 2
Scan test to see tumor-support cells in pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a special imaging scan (a PET/CT with a tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-46) to look at “cancer-support” cells in people with localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It may help doctors better understand the tumor and how it responds before surgery after initial treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05491512RecruitingPhase 2
Reduced radiation with chemo for HPV throat cancer
This trial tests whether giving less radiation (while using standard chemotherapy) can treat HPV-related throat cancer effectively. It may help reduce radiation exposure while still controlling the cancer.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05242744Recruiting
PET/CT scan testing for spread in metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests how well an FTT PET/CT scan can detect and measure metastatic (spread) prostate cancer. It may help your care team decide on the best next treatment plan, especially if you need to change or start therapy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05188872Recruiting
PET scan for adrenal hormone condition before and after treatment
This trial uses a special PET scan to look at a hormone gland condition called primary aldosteronism, which can cause high blood pressure. It aims to see if the scan helps doctors plan treatment and check results.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 19–90 - NCT05137119RecruitingPhase 4

This trial tests the best treatment approach for bloodstream infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (“S. aureus”). It uses a flexible design to decide which treatment track you fit into, and may help improve recovery while avoiding unnecessary medications.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT04668872Recruiting
Biopsy after liver radiation to see tumor cell changes
This trial gives radiation to liver tumors and then takes a small tissue sample (biopsy) to look for changes in the cancer cells after treatment. The goal is to learn what the radiation is doing inside the tumor, which may help improve future treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04263792RecruitingPhase 1
Scan trial to track a new tracer in suspected bacterial infections
This Phase 1 study uses a special scan tracer ([18F]F-TMP) to see how it moves in the body and how fast it changes in people with suspected or known bacterial infections. It’s mainly testing the scan’s behavior and safety, which may help future infection-targeting imaging.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pet/ct?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 349 recruiting pet/ct 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 pet/ct 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 pet/ct 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.
