Lowering radiation dose for HPV-related throat cancer using a special PET scan
This trial tests whether a special PET scan (FMISO PET) can help safely lower the radiation dose for patients with HPV-positive throat cancer. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
Saint Leonards, New South WalesAges 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+ - NCT05442151Recruiting
Scan to see cancer-fighting cells using a special PET tracer
This trial tests a PET scan (a type of imaging) that targets cells in the body that help support cancers. It may help doctors better see where cancer-associated cells are located, which could guide future cancer care.
Suita, OsakaAges Any age - NCT04537403RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan study of artery inflammation marker in plaque
This Phase 1 study tests whether a special PET scan can detect a specific inflammation signal (CCR2) in atherosclerosis—fatty plaque buildup in blood vessels. It may help future doctors better see which plaques are more inflamed and potentially more dangerous.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–89 - NCT06731842Enrolling by invitation
Brain scans and blood tests for Alzheimer's disease
This study uses a special brain scan (PET imaging) and blood tests to look for early signs of Alzheimer's and other brain diseases. It aims to improve how we detect and understand these conditions.
StockholmAges 30–85 - NCT06732336RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET scan for HER2-low breast cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan to see if your breast cancer has low levels of a protein called HER2. This could help doctors choose the right treatment for you.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06735560Recruiting
PET scan with a tracer for liver, bile duct, or neuroendocrine tumors
This trial uses a special PET scan tracer (zirconium-labelled girentuximab) to see if it can find and track certain liver, bile duct, and pancreatic/intestinal neuroendocrine tumors. It may help doctors better understand your cancer and guide treatment decisions.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT06719856Recruiting
PET imaging study for multiple solid tumors
This trial uses a special PET scan to take pictures of certain solid tumors. The scan uses a new dye that may help doctors see the tumors more clearly. You may be eligible if you have one of the listed cancers and are between 18 and 75 years old with good daily function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06723015Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Tau PET in anti-amyloid therapy for Alzheimer's
This study uses brain scans to see how anti-amyloid treatments affect tau protein buildup in people with early Alzheimer's. If you have mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's, you may be eligible to help understand how these treatments work.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 50–90 - NCT06716294Recruiting
Radiofrequency ablation and stabilization for spine tumors
This trial tests a treatment that uses heat to destroy active spine tumors from cancer that has spread, followed by stabilizing the bone. It aims to see if the treatment works by using a special scan (PET-CT) to confirm the results.
Athens, AthensAges 18–90 - NCT06691464Enrolling by invitation
Using FAPI PET/CT to find lung scarring in non-healing ARDS
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to look for active scar tissue (fibrosis) in the lungs of people who are still very sick with ARDS after 5 days of ventilator support. It may help doctors understand why some lungs don't heal and could guide future treatments.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 20 years+ - NCT06675357RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI PET/MRI scan for prostate cancer
This trial uses a new type of PET/MRI scan (called FAPI) to see how well it can find prostate cancer. It may help doctors learn about a different way to image the cancer. You can join if you already have a scheduled or recent PSMA PET scan.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06645808RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET imaging study for various solid tumors

Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06632977RecruitingPhase 2
Matching targeted treatments to your prostate cancer's genetics
This trial is testing whether matching your cancer's specific genetic changes to a targeted treatment can help control metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy. You may receive a drug, a radioactive treatment, or a combination based on your tumor's molecular profile.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06079294Recruiting

Comparing two whole-body scan methods for metastatic cancer
This trial tests whether a newer type of MRI scan (called whole-body DWI) can work as well as a standard PET/CT scan (called FDG PET) for finding and monitoring cancer that has spread. If you have metastatic cancer and already have a scheduled PET/CT or other scan, you may be able to get both scans done, helping researchers compare the two methods.

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.
