PET scan to detect brain inflammation in autoimmune encephalitis
This trial uses a special PET scan (with a tracer called [18F]-DPA-714) to see if it can measure inflammation in the brain caused by autoimmune encephalitis. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors diagnose and monitor the condition more accurately.
ToulouseAges 18–80 - NCT07488819Recruiting
Brain imaging study for people with PTSD or alcohol use disorder
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to look at a protein called PDE4B in people with PTSD or alcohol use disorder. It may help researchers understand these conditions better.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–70 - NCT07478523RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI-PET scan for initial screening of pancreatic and bile duct cancers
This trial tests a new imaging method called FAPI-PET to see if it can better detect pancreatic and bile duct cancers at an early stage. It may help doctors decide on the best treatment plan for you.
PessacAges 18 years+ - NCT07474142Recruiting
PSMA PET scan for newly diagnosed prostate cancer
This study looks at whether a special scan called PSMA PET can help predict how prostate cancer will progress. It is for people who have just been diagnosed and have not started treatment yet.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–100 - NCT06334965Recruiting
Studying liver cancer response to targeted radiation therapy
This trial is for people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) who are about to receive a type of internal radiation therapy called TARE (also known as radioembolization). Researchers want to learn more about how the cancer responds to this treatment using scans and biopsies. You might be a good fit if you have not had any prior treatment for your liver cancer.
ClichyAges 18 years+ - NCT06684028Recruiting
PET imaging of a new tracer for cancer patients
This study uses a new imaging agent called [68Ga]-FAPI-JNU to take detailed pictures of tumors with a PET/CT scan. It aims to see how well this tracer works in people with various types of cancer.
Wuxi, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT06769828Recruiting
Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET scan for colorectal cancer recurrence with rising CEA
This trial tests a new type of PET scan called Ga-68-FAPI-46 to help find if your colorectal cancer has returned when your CEA levels are rising. It might offer a more accurate way to detect recurrence early.
Taipei, BeitouAges 20–100 - NCT07463300Recruiting
AI Study for Lung Cancer Type and Genetics via PET/CT
This study uses an AI system that looks at your PET/CT scan images to figure out the exact type and genetic makeup of your non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to improve how doctors classify and treat your cancer without needing extra invasive tests.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07468903Recruiting
Focal radiation for prostate cancer with HDR brachytherapy
This trial tests a targeted radiation treatment called HDR brachytherapy for prostate cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to treat only the cancer spots seen on MRI, which may reduce side effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT06791226Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pet?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 574 recruiting pet 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 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 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.
