Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18–75 - 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.

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+ - NCT05541367Recruiting
ER PET/CT scan test for breast cancer
This trial studies how well an ER PET/CT scan can image breast cancer. It may help doctors see whether a cancer has estrogen receptor (ER) activity, which can guide treatment planning.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05543954RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/CT scan test to see lung cancer using a new tracer
This early-phase study tests a special whole-body scan (PET/CT) that uses injected tracers to help show where lung cancer may be. It may help researchers see tumors more clearly and compare different tracers during the same time window.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05547919Recruiting
PSMA scan study for newly diagnosed gut cancer
This study looks at a specific body scan target (PSMA) in newly diagnosed gut cancers to better understand the tumor and guide future care. You may be asked to provide tumor tissue and get a PSMA PET/CT scan, and the results could help identify who may benefit from PSMA-based treatments.
Würzburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT05556473RecruitingPhase 1
Tryptophan PET/CT scan study for different tumors
This early-phase study tests a special PET/CT scan using labeled tryptophan to help doctors see how different tumors behave. The goal is to learn whether this scan can better identify and measure cancers in the brain or elsewhere.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05558904RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET/CT scan to help find early lung cancer
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan to spot early lung cancer by finding specific body processes linked to cancer. It compares scan results in people with lung nodules that are either cancer (lung adenocarcinoma) or likely benign.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05575440Recruiting
Testing an iodine-like PET/CT scan for thyroid cancer
This study checks how well a new PET/CT scan (18F-TFB) can find thyroid cancer after a standard iodine whole-body scan. It may help doctors see where the cancer is using an added imaging test, which could improve planning for care.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05582876Recruiting
PET/MR scan to plan personalized prostate cancer treatment
This study uses a special scan called PET/MR with a prostate-focused tracer to help doctors choose the best next treatment for prostate cancer. It may be most helpful if you are planning major treatment or if your cancer has come back after prior treatment.
BialystokAges 18–99 - NCT05593107Recruiting
Check cancer with a special PET/CT scan
This trial studies how well a specific PET/CT scan using a radioactive tracer can detect or evaluate cancers. It may help doctors see where cancer is in the body more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05654675Recruiting
Scan method study for measuring tumor sugar use on PET
This study checks whether a specific analysis method (called FUR) can better measure how much “sugar” from PET scans is used by tumors. It uses regular PET/CT scans you may already get as part of standard care, and compares how the measurements work.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 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 - NCT05733416Recruiting
FDG PET/CT scan after unexplained stroke to find hidden cancer
This study checks whether doing an intensive scan using FDG PET/CT shortly after a “cryptogenic” (unexplained) ischemic stroke can uncover an underlying cause, such as cancer. If a hidden source is found earlier, it may help guide the next treatment steps.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 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+ - NCT05761366RecruitingPhase 2
18F-PSMA PET/CT scan for PSMA-positive tumors
This Phase 2 study tests an imaging scan called 18F-PSMA PET/CT to find tumors that have a specific marker (PSMA). It may help doctors better locate and evaluate PSMA-positive cancers.

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+ - NCT05847348RecruitingPhase 3
PET scan for rising PSA after prostate cancer treatment
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a special PET scan using 68Ga-PSMA-11 can detect prostate cancer that has returned after surgery or radiation, measured by rising PSA. If the scan works well, it may help doctors find where the cancer is coming back.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pet/ct?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 362 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.
