Florbetaben imaging for vascular amyloid after heart or brain event
This trial tests whether florbetaben, a special dye, can show amyloid buildup in blood vessels after a recent heart attack, chest pain episode, or stroke. It aims to help doctors better understand and prevent future events.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06098612RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET imaging study for Parkinson's and related disorders
This study uses a new PET scan tracer called [11C]SY08 to take pictures of the brain in people with Parkinson's, multiple system atrophy, or dementia with Lewy bodies. It aims to see if this tracer can help better understand and tell apart these conditions.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 50–80 - NCT06099093RecruitingPhase 4
PSMA PET scan before standard therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial will test if a special PET scan (18F-DCFPyL) can help doctors plan your treatment with a radioactive medicine called 177Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan. You are eligible if you already qualify for that standard therapy and have had a prior PSMA PET scan showing at least one active cancer site.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06102057RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided small volume chemoradiation with immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (durvalumab) for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if giving a smaller, more focused radiation dose can be just as effective with fewer side effects.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT06113705Recruiting
Better MRI and blood tests for glioblastoma treatment response
This study is testing whether special MRI scans and blood tests can help tell the difference between true tumor growth (progression) and a treatment-related reaction called 'pseudoprogression' in people with glioblastoma. The goal is to make treatment decisions more accurate.
RozzanoAges 18 years+ - NCT06189898Recruiting
Using scans to find radiation-sensitive esophageal cancer
This study tests whether a special imaging scan (functional imaging) can identify which esophageal cancers respond best to radiation. If you have stage II–IVA esophageal cancer and meet the health criteria, joining may help personalize your treatment.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06216249RecruitingPhase 2
Flexible dosing of Lu-PSMA for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a flexible dosing schedule of a targeted radiation drug (Lu-PSMA) for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and chemotherapy. It aims to see if adjusting the treatment schedule can improve outcomes while reducing side effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06236048Recruiting
Brain energy and glutamate in schizophrenia
This study uses brain scans (MRI and PET) to look at energy use and a brain chemical called glutamate in people with schizophrenia. It compares healthy volunteers to those with well-controlled schizophrenia and those with hard-to-treat schizophrenia to understand the biology better.
LondonAges 18–65 - NCT06244004RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided radiation for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
This trial tests whether using a special PET scan (FDG-PET) to find and treat only the spots where cancer has spread with targeted radiation can help men with prostate cancer that has spread but still responds to hormone therapy. It compares standard treatment alone to standard treatment plus this targeted radiation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06245889RecruitingPhase 2
PET-Guided Therapy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This trial tests whether a special PET scan can help guide the best combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery for patients with triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to personalize treatment and improve outcomes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06254469RecruitingPhase 3
PET scan study for memory decline with head injury or Alzheimer's risk
This trial uses a special PET scan tracer to see if it can predict who will get worse over time. It is for people with mild memory or thinking problems that may be linked to past head injuries or early Alzheimer's disease.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 45 years+ - NCT06284070Recruiting
Comparing FDG and FAPI PET scans for cancer
This study compares two types of PET scans (FDG and FAPI) in people with suspected or newly diagnosed cancer. It aims to learn which scan gives better images of different cancers, potentially helping guide treatment decisions.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06289517Recruiting
PET scan for cancers with high HER2 levels
This study is testing a new type of PET scan that uses a special molecule (68Ga-Her2-affibody) to find tumors that have high levels of HER2. It may help doctors better see where your cancer is and decide on the best treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06297902Recruiting
PET-guided Radiation for Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. By using a special PET scan to guide where higher radiation doses are given, doctors hope to improve treatment while reducing side effects. It is for people whose cancer is not early-stage and who will receive standard radiation therapy.
BergenAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06335069RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two PET tracers in ER-positive breast cancer
This trial compares two types of PET scans to see which one better detects ER-positive breast cancer. The results could help doctors choose the best scan for tracking your cancer.
MaastrichtAges 18 years+ - NCT06336382Recruiting
Tau protein study in late-onset psychosis
This study looks at brain proteins called tau in people who develop psychosis later in life (after age 60). Researchers want to understand how these proteins relate to symptoms, which may help find better treatments.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 65–85 - NCT06353321Recruiting
PSMA-PET imaging for guiding radiation therapy in prostate cancer
This study tests a new way to use a PSMA-PET scan (a special imaging test that finds prostate cancer cells) to guide a type of radiation treatment called BgRT. It is for men with prostate cancer who are already getting a PSMA-PET scan as part of their regular care.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT06363435Recruiting
AI study of tumor burden on PSMA PET-CT scans
This trial tests an AI tool that measures tumor burden on PSMA PET-CT scans. If you are having this scan for prostate cancer, it could help doctors get more detailed information from your images.
LundAges 20–120 - NCT06363396Recruiting
Brain scan study for fatigue after stem cell transplant
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to look at why people feel very tired or have trouble thinking clearly after a stem cell transplant. It aims to better understand these problems to help future patients.
StockholmAges 20–75 - NCT06377566RecruitingPhase 2
BV-AVD for bulky Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (brentuximab vedotin, AVD chemotherapy) for people with newly diagnosed, bulky Hodgkin lymphoma that hasn't spread far. It aims to see if this treatment works well for larger tumors.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06383520RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET imaging for GPC3 in liver cancer
This study tests a new PET imaging method that targets GPC3, a protein often found in liver cancer cells. It may help doctors see and understand liver cancer better, especially in people with newly diagnosed or recurrent disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pet?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 592 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.
