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+ - NCT06791226Recruiting
Testing FAPI PET/CT for eye socket tumors
This study tests whether a new type of PET/CT scan (FAPI) can provide better images of tumors in the eye socket than the standard FDG scan. If you have a suspected or newly diagnosed orbital tumor, joining could help doctors see your tumor more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 3–80 - NCT06795581RecruitingPhase 1
Brain imaging study for alcohol use disorder
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to look at a protein called PDE4B in people with alcohol use disorder. The goal is to better understand how alcohol affects the brain, which may lead to new treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT06797661Recruiting
Brain lesion blood flow study before surgery
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain changes when there is a mass that can be removed with surgery. You would join before any treatment, which helps doctors understand the link between the brain lesion and blood vessel function.
BrusselsAges 18–90 - NCT06813742Recruiting
New PET scan for pheochromocytoma
This study uses a special PET scan (called 18F-mFBG) to get clearer pictures of pheochromocytoma, a rare adrenal tumor. It may help doctors better understand your tumor and guide treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT06830382Recruiting
HER2-PET scan for metastatic breast cancer treatment
This trial uses a special PET scan (HER2-PET) to see if a targeted drug (trastuzumab deruxtecan) works better for your type of metastatic breast cancer. The goal is to match the treatment to how much HER2 protein your tumors show.
SolnaAges 18 years+ - NCT06834412Recruiting
New PET scan for blood cancer staging
This study tests a new type of PET scan called 68Ga-Pentixafor to see how well it finds and stages blood cancers (like non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma). It will compare this new scan to the standard FDG-PET scan. If you join, you may get more accurate information about your cancer.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 imaging study for TDP-43 protein disorders
This study uses a special PET scan to detect TDP-43 protein buildup in the brain, which is linked to conditions like frontotemporal dementia and ALS. Healthy volunteers and people with TDP-43 disorders are invited to take part.
AmsterdamAges 40–70 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06923098Recruiting
PET/CT vs. CT for lung biopsy
This study compares two ways to guide a needle biopsy in people with suspected lung cancer: using a CT scan alone or using a combined PET/CT scan. The goal is to see which method better helps doctors get a clear diagnosis with fewer needle passes.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT06937112Recruiting
A new scan for early detection of certain cancers

Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06940427RecruitingPhase 2
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+ - NCT06956144Recruiting
CAIX-targeted PET scan for kidney cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan that targets a protein (CAIX) often found in kidney cancer cells. It helps doctors see the cancer more clearly, which may guide better treatment decisions.

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.
