ctDNA-Guided Therapy for Relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma
This trial uses a blood test (ctDNA) to guide treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or not responded to one prior treatment. You would receive a combination of drugs (pembrolizumab, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, and liposomal doxorubicin) to see if it works better.
Davis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07018661RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing a PET/CT scan for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests whether a special PET/CT scan (using a drug called [18F]F-FAPI) and a laparoscopy (a small camera through the belly) can better show the spread of advanced stomach or esophagus cancer before surgery. The goal is to help doctors decide the best treatment plan.
AlmeloAges 18 years+ - NCT07005063Recruiting
Rotator cuff repair with FiberLocker patch
This trial tests a new patch, FiberLocker, to help repair a torn rotator cuff tendon. It's for people who need surgery for a full-thickness tear caused by an injury, and aims to improve healing.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 40–65 - NCT07004673Recruiting
PET/MR imaging for carotid artery plaque risk
This trial uses special PET/MR scans to look at fatty buildup in your neck arteries to see which ones might be dangerous. It could help doctors better understand your stroke risk and choose the right treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07012993RecruitingPhase 2
Very low dose PET brain scan study
This study tests whether using a very low dose of radiation for a brain PET scan can still give clear images. If you are eligible, you will get a type of radioactive tracer that helps show amyloid plaques in the brain, often used in Alzheimer's research.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18–120 - NCT07007208RecruitingPhase 2
Brain imaging study to detect early Alzheimer's risk
This study uses brain scans (MRI and PET) to look at a tiny brain region called the locus coeruleus, which may show early signs of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers want to see if changes in this area are linked to thinking skills and future memory decline.
ToulouseAges 60–100 - NCT06387381RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan for PSMA/FAP-positive cancer
This trial tests a special PET scan using a tracer that attaches to certain markers (PSMA and FAP) found on some cancers. It aims to help doctors see where the cancer is, possibly leading to better treatment decisions.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06419361RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan to detect immune activity in cancer patients
This trial uses a special PET scan tracer to see where immune system signals are active in people with cancer. It may help doctors understand how your immune system is responding to the disease.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06904313RecruitingPhase 2
Ultra-low dose PET scan for PSMA
This study tests a very low-dose PET scan to see if it can find prostate cancer cells that have PSMA on their surface. It might help you avoid higher radiation doses while still getting important images.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18–120 - NCT06956391RecruitingPhase 2
Ultra-low dose PET scan study using FDG

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pet?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 576 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.
