Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06638034RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New imaging and radiation therapy for metastatic tumors
This trial tests a new type of imaging scan and treatment for cancers that have spread. You would first have two special scans, then you may receive a targeted radiation therapy (177Lu-FAPI-RGD) to see if it can help shrink tumors.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT06084806RecruitingPhase 2

This study tests a new PET imaging agent to see how consistently it shows immune activity in the body. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are about to start immunotherapy.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06123676Recruiting
New PET scan after liver Y-90 treatment
This study tests a new way to scan the liver after Y-90 microsphere treatment. You will have an extra PET/CT scan right after your regular scan to see if it gives better images. The goal is to improve how doctors track the treatment's effect on your liver tumors.
ManchesterAges 18–80 - NCT07668869Recruiting
Electric fields with targeted radiation vs. alone for recurrent brain cancer
This trial tests whether adding a precise, MRI-guided radiation treatment to tumor-treating electric fields (TTFields) can help people with recurrent glioblastoma. You may qualify if your tumor has come back 1 to 3 times after standard therapy and you haven't had certain prior treatments.
BydgoszczAges 18 years+ - NCT05688592Recruiting
Testing PET-CT scans for invasive fungal infection
This trial checks whether a PET-CT scan using a small amount of tracer (FDG) can help doctors better identify invasive fungal infections inside the body. It may be useful for guiding diagnosis when standard information is unclear.
Majadahonda, MadriidAges 18 years+ - NCT06519760Recruiting
68Ga-C1 PET/CT imaging for clear cell kidney cancer
This trial uses a special imaging scan (68Ga-C1 PET/CT) to see kidney cancer more clearly. It helps doctors find and understand clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a common type of kidney cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07640555RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain imaging study for Parkinson's and related movement disorders
This research study tests a new type of brain scan (called a PET scan) that may help detect early signs of Parkinson's disease and similar conditions. You'll receive the scan and may have a spinal tap to check for specific protein markers.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 50–80 - NCT07612631RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain imaging study of alcohol and stress response
This research uses brain imaging to understand how two brain systems—one involved in stress and one involved in reward—interact in people with alcohol use disorder. The goal is to find new ways to help people reduce heavy drinking.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–55 - NCT07617688RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET imaging tracer safety study in healthy volunteers
This early-stage study tests a new PET imaging agent (a radioactive tracer used in medical imaging) to understand how it moves through the body and the radiation dose it delivers. Researchers need healthy volunteers to help establish whether this imaging tool is safe for future patient use.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–60 - NCT06172595RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan to tell tumor growth from treatment effects in brain cancer
This trial tests whether a special PET scan can tell the difference between actual tumor growth and treatment-related changes in people with aggressive brain cancer (high-grade glioma). If you have had radiation and an MRI shows a growing lesion, this study may help clarify the cause.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07586215Recruiting
HER2-PET imaging to predict response to T-DXd in advanced breast cancer
This study is testing whether a special PET scan (HER2-PET) can help predict how well the drug T-DXd (also known as Enhertu) might work for your breast cancer. T-DXd is a targeted therapy that delivers chemotherapy directly to cancer cells with certain markers. The trial will check if the scan can identify which patients are more likely to benefit, which could help personalize treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06372444Recruiting
Kidney injury in severe infections study
This study looks at how severe infections like sepsis can hurt the kidneys. By using special scans (PET-CT), researchers hope to better understand why this happens, which could lead to better treatments.
UppsalaAges 30 years+ - NCT07569926RecruitingPhase 4
Fluciclovine PET scan for prostate cancer recurrence detection
This study tests whether a newer type of imaging scan (called fluciclovine PET) can find where prostate cancer has come back when an earlier scan (PSMA PET) didn't show clear results. The goal is to help doctors better plan treatment for men whose cancer has returned after surgery or radiation.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05855941Recruiting
Imaging tests to better predict and diagnose gynecologic cancers
This trial studies how well medical imaging (especially MRI) can help predict outcomes and improve diagnosis in people newly diagnosed with certain gynecologic cancers. It may help doctors make more accurate treatment decisions by comparing imaging results to the final cancer type and stage.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT07567196Recruiting
PET imaging to guide surgery for aggressive brain tumors
This trial tests whether using a special PET scan (a type of imaging that shows tumor activity) during brain tumor surgery helps doctors remove more of the tumor safely. You would have a high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain cancer) and be scheduled for surgery.
Torino, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT07553780Recruiting
Tracking Prostate Cancer Response Using PSMA Imaging Scans
This study uses a special type of imaging scan (PSMA PET) to track how well prostate cancer treatment is working by comparing scans before and after your planned therapy. The goal is to help doctors better understand which treatments work best for your type of cancer.

PET Imaging Scan for Detecting Cancer Using New Radioactive Tracer
This study tests a new type of imaging scan (PET/CT or PET/MR) that uses a radioactive tracer to help doctors better detect and diagnose various cancers. The scan targets a specific protein found in tumors, which may help identify cancer more accurately than standard imaging.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07523997Recruiting
PET-CT scan to help diagnose endometriosis
This study tests whether a special imaging scan (PET-CT) can better detect endometriosis—a condition where tissue grows where it shouldn't inside the pelvis. If you have chronic pelvic pain and are scheduled for a diagnostic procedure called laparoscopy, this scan might help doctors see the disease more clearly.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pet?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 574 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.
