Englewood, New JerseyAges 18–120 - NCT07018661RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing a PET/CT scan for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests whether a special PET/CT scan (using a drug called [18F]F-FAPI) and a laparoscopy (a small camera through the belly) can better show the spread of advanced stomach or esophagus cancer before surgery. The goal is to help doctors decide the best treatment plan.
AlmeloAges 18 years+ - NCT07019844Recruiting
PSMA PET scan for liver cancer staging
This trial tests if a special PET scan (PSMA PET) can better stage liver cancer that has not been treated yet and is at a moderate to advanced stage (BCLC B or C). It may help guide treatment decisions.
West Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07027254Recruiting
Can a special PET scan improve surgery for primary aldosteronism?
This study uses a new type of PET scan (called Gallium-68 Pentixafor PET-CT) to help doctors better identify the source of a hormone problem causing high blood pressure. The goal is to see if this scan leads to better surgical outcomes compared to standard methods.
Seoul, Gangnam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07027839RecruitingPhase 1
Alcohol effects on brain imaging for phosphodiesterase
This study uses PET scans to see how alcohol affects a protein in the brain called PDE4B. It may help explain how alcohol works in the body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 21–70 - NCT07046455Recruiting
Trop-2 PET scan for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan to find a protein called Trop-2 on your cancer cells. It helps doctors decide if a targeted treatment (Trop-2 ADC) might work for you.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07056790RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET scan using 68Ga-PSMA-CYC for prostate cancer
This trial is testing a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer called 68Ga-PSMA-CYC to take detailed pictures of prostate cancer. It may help doctors better see where the cancer is and how far it has spread.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT07062523RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
FAPI PET scan for Sjögren's syndrome inflammation
This study uses a special PET scan (FAPI PET) to look at inflammation in people with Sjögren's syndrome. It helps doctors understand how active the disease is. You may join if you have Sjögren's syndrome or a solid tumor that needs this scan, and you are not on certain medications.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07064746Recruiting
Special imaging scans for children with neuroblastoma
This study tests two special types of imaging scans that look for neuroblastoma tumors. The imaging uses safe radioactive tracers to help doctors better see the cancer and plan treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pet?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 590 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.
