Testing a new PET scan for lung scarring
This trial is testing a new type of PET scan (FAPI PET) to help doctors see if lung scarring (fibrosis) is getting worse or getting better. It may help decide if a treatment change is needed.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06930261RecruitingPhase 2
Brain dopamine changes after traumatic coma
This study looks at how a traumatic brain injury that causes coma affects the brain's dopamine system. You will get two types of brain scans (MRI and PET) to see changes that might help predict recovery.
ToulouseAges 18–65 - NCT06923657Recruiting
PSMA PET/MRI for guiding biopsy after negative MRI
This study tests whether a special type of PET/MRI scan (PSMA PET/MRI) can help doctors find hidden prostate cancer in men who have a rising PSA but previous negative biopsies and a non-suspicious MRI. It aims to improve detection without skipping needed treatment.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 30–85 - NCT06931340RecruitingPhase 3
Adding chemo to hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial is for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has already spread beyond the pelvis. It tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) to the usual hormone therapy plus apalutamide can help control the cancer better than hormone therapy alone.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06668714Recruiting
Does lactate affect nutrient absorption and fat storage?
This study tests whether taking lactate (a natural substance) with a meal affects how your body absorbs nutrients and stores fat. It is for people with prediabetes who are not on glucose-lowering medication.
AarhusAges 50 years+ - NCT06920628RecruitingPhase 1
Brain scan study for long COVID neurological symptoms
This study uses a special PET scan to look at brain inflammation in people with neurological symptoms after COVID-19. It aims to understand how inflammation might be linked to ongoing problems like brain fog or memory issues.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT06918041Recruiting
FiberLocker device to strengthen rotator cuff tear repair
This study tests a device called FiberLocker® that strengthens the repair of a torn rotator cuff tendon during keyhole surgery. It may help the tendon heal better or faster than standard surgery alone.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 30–70 - NCT06915454Recruiting
Better imaging during cancer surgery
This trial tests a high-resolution PET-CT scan done during surgery to help surgeons see exactly where the cancer ends. It may help make sure all cancer is removed while saving healthy tissue.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06891703RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET imaging study for Parkinson's and related conditions
This trial uses a new imaging agent (like a dye) to see signs of Parkinson's disease in the brain. If you have Parkinson's or a related condition like Lewy body dementia or multiple system atrophy, this scan may help researchers better understand these illnesses.
SolnaAges 20 years+ - NCT06891716RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan for TDP-43 proteinopathies
This study tests a new PET scan dye that may help see TDP-43 protein buildup in the brain, which is linked to certain dementias and ALS. It aims to improve diagnosis and tracking of these conditions.
AmsterdamAges 40–70 - NCT06560905RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA-PET scan before melanoma surgery
This trial tests if a special scan (PSMA-PET) can help plan surgery for melanoma that has spread to lymph nodes. It may help doctors remove all cancer more accurately.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06865768RecruitingPhase 2
New PET-MRI scan for better prostate biopsy guidance
This trial tests a new imaging scan that combines a special PET tracer with MRI to help guide a prostate biopsy. The goal is to see if this scan can more accurately find cancer and reduce the need for extra biopsies.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06790082RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI PET scan to diagnose pleural mesothelioma
This trial tests if a newer type of PET scan (FAPI PET) can better diagnose pleural mesothelioma than a standard FDG PET scan. If you have a suspicious spot in your lung lining and need a biopsy, this study may help improve how we find and track this cancer.
Aalborg, Region North JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT04938362Recruiting
Study brain recovery after abscess using memory and brain scans
This study looks at how thinking and energy levels change after a brain abscess. It may help researchers understand what affects recovery and fatigue, using thinking tests and brain imaging/brain-wave checks.
OsloAges 16 years+ - NCT05059158Recruiting
Study how the brain clears amyloid in Alzheimer’s
This trial studies how the brain removes amyloid-β, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in people with mild memory impairment or Alzheimer’s, and guide better treatments in the future.
München, BavariaAges 50–85 - NCT06852807Recruiting
New PET scan for neuroblastoma in children
This trial uses a special PET scan called 18F-mFBG to take pictures of neuroblastoma tumors. It helps doctors see where the cancer is and whether treatment is working.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Up to 18 years - NCT06852820RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA-targeted radioactive therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a radioactive treatment called 177Lu-PSMA-617 for advanced liver cancer that has not responded to first-line immunotherapy. You need a PSMA-PET scan first to see if your cancer absorbs the treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06852144Enrolling by invitation
PET-CT scan for thyroid and parathyroid evaluation
This study looks at how well PET-CT scans can find thyroid or parathyroid problems. The trial uses scans that are already part of your regular care to learn more about these conditions.
Bologna, BoAges 18 years+ - NCT06659926Recruiting
Radium-select study for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new imaging approach (radium-based) for men with prostate cancer that has spread to the bones and is getting worse. It aims to see if this helps better target treatment and improve outcomes.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06843629Recruiting
PET scan test for MSLN in cancer patients
This study uses a special PET scan to look for a protein called MSLN in certain cancers like pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancer. It aims to see if this imaging method can help doctors understand your tumor better.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–65 - NCT06829043Enrolling by invitation
PET scan for uncertain thyroid nodules
This study uses a special PET scan (18F-FDG PET/CT) to get a clearer picture of thyroid nodules with uncertain biopsy results. The goal is to help doctors decide whether surgery is needed.

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.
