St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06451536Recruiting
Special PET Scan Before Immunotherapy for Mesothelioma
This trial uses a special PET scan (called Ga-68 FAPI) to see if it can help doctors better plan or monitor immunotherapy for people with pleural mesothelioma. It may help doctors predict how well the treatment will work.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06455358RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A new PET scan to find neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a new type of PET scan using a radioactive tracer called 61Cu-NODAGA-LM3 to detect neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The goal is to see if it works as well as or better than the standard scan. If you have a NET and need a scan for staging or treatment planning, you might be able to join.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06470282RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combo plus radiation for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) plus radiation therapy for people with bladder cancer that has grown into the muscle layer. The goal is to see if this treatment can kill the cancer while avoiding the need for bladder removal surgery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06474533Recruiting
FET PET for evaluating brain tumors
This study tests a special imaging agent called fluoroethyltyrosine (FET) to see if it can better detect brain tumors on PET scans. It may help doctors decide if a tumor has come back after treatment or better guide initial biopsy or surgery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 4 years+ - NCT06474806RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan for untreated prostate cancer
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that looks for a protein called uPAR on prostate cancer cells. It might help doctors see your cancer more clearly without needing surgery or treatment first.
Herlev, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07691697Recruiting
PSMA PET-guided radiation for slowing prostate cancer growth
This trial uses a special scan called PSMA PET to find and treat a small number of cancer spots that are growing while you are on standard treatment. The goal is to give precise radiation to those spots to help keep the rest of the cancer under control.
Zamość, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06503146RecruitingPhase 2
New imaging tracer for detecting various cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent, [18F]FAPI-74, which might help detect certain cancers more clearly. The scan looks for a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP) that is often found in tumors. If you have one of the listed cancers and are about to start treatment, this study could help doctors see where the cancer is and how it responds to therapy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06508567Recruiting
MRI-Guided Internal Radiation for Returning Prostate Cancer
This trial tests a new way to use a type of internal radiation (high-dose-rate brachytherapy) guided by MRI to treat prostate cancer that has come back in the same area after previous radiation therapy. It is designed to be more precise and hopefully safer while using the latest PSMA PET scans to make sure the cancer hasn't spread.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06526299RecruitingPhase 2
Higher dose of targeted radiation for prostate cancer with low PSMA levels
This trial tests a higher dose of a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) for men whose prostate cancer has spread and does not produce much of a protein called PSMA on scans. The goal is to see if a stronger dose can work better than the standard dose.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533709Recruiting
Can PET-CT predict ovarian cancer surgery success?
This trial uses PET-CT scans to create a model that predicts how completely advanced ovarian cancer can be removed during surgery. It may help doctors plan the best treatment for you.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06540872RecruitingPhase 2
Testing New PET/MRI Scan in Large DCIS
This study tests a new imaging method that combines a special PET scan (FAPI) with MRI to see if it can better find hidden invasive cancer in people with large areas of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). It aims to improve surgical planning and avoid second surgeries.

Digital and blood markers linked to brain scans in older adults
This study is looking for older adults (60–90) who are either cognitively normal, have mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or have mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's dementia. It aims to see how digital tests and blood-based markers relate to brain scans (amyloid and tau PET). You will need a study partner, undergo MRI and PET scans, and give blood samples.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pet?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 589 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.
