Recruiting studies
- NCT07463625Recruiting

PSMA scan to plan prostate surgery and help protect erections
This trial tests whether using a PSMA-PET scan before prostatectomy can guide surgery in a way that helps preserve sexual function. It may be most helpful if you have certain kinds of prostate cancer and want to keep erections after surgery.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 40–80 - NCT07422857RecruitingPhase 3
A PET scan for detecting signs of Alzheimer's
This trial uses a new type of PET scan to look for specific proteins in the brain that are linked to Alzheimer's disease. It will help doctors see how these proteins relate to cognitive decline and compare scans from people with normal thinking to those with memory problems.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 50 years+ - NCT06644716Recruiting
FAPI PET-CT scan to find unknown primary cancer
This study tests a new type of PET-CT scan using a tracer called FAPI to find the original source of cancer when standard tests have not been able to. It may help identify the primary tumor in people with cancer that has spread from an unknown location.
AmsterdamAges 18–99 - NCT06830356Recruiting
PET-guided radiation for high-risk meningiomas
This trial uses a special PET scan to find active tumor areas and then delivers a stronger dose of radiation to those spots. It is for people with aggressive or returning meningiomas who have not had brain radiation before.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 16 years+ - NCT06242119Recruiting
Testing a new PET scanner prototype
This study is testing a new type of PET scanner (called J-PET) to see if it works as well as current PET/CT machines. If you are already scheduled for a whole-body PET/CT scan, participating would mean your scan is done with this experimental scanner instead.
KrakowAges 18 years+ - NCT06835426Recruiting
Imaging removed tissue during cancer surgery
This study tests a high-resolution PET-CT scanner that takes pictures of tissue removed during surgery to help doctors see if all the cancer has been removed. You might qualify if you are having surgery for a range of cancers including breast, prostate, thyroid, skin, gastrointestinal, or brain tumors.
Ghent, Oost VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT07380204Recruiting
Measuring Hsp90 in the brain with a PET scan
This study uses a special PET scan to measure a protein called Hsp90 in the brain. It aims to understand how Hsp90 levels differ in healthy people and those with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or ALS, which may lead to new treatments.
Leuven, Vlaam-BrabantAges 18–70 - NCT05000827Recruiting
PSMA PET scan to guide lymph node surgery in prostatectomy
This study tests whether a special prostate scan called PSMA PET/CT can help doctors decide which pelvic lymph nodes to remove during prostate surgery. It may improve who needs lymph node surgery by using scan results to guide the operation.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07362225Recruiting
MPN Progress Registry: Tracking Symptoms and Progression
This observational registry tracks symptoms, treatments, and disease changes over time in people diagnosed with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). By joining, you help doctors learn more about the condition and possibly contribute to better future care.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06565247RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing PET and MRI scans before prostate cancer surgery
This trial tests if a special PET scan (PSMA-PET) plus MRI is better than MRI alone at finding the full extent of high-risk prostate cancer before surgery. It aims to improve surgical planning by checking scan results against the removed prostate tissue.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT06859203Recruiting
PET scan study for men with rising PSA after prostate cancer treatment
This study tests a newer type of PET scan (fluciclovine) in men whose previous PSMA PET scan was negative or unclear. It aims to find if the fluciclovine PET can better detect where the cancer has returned, helping guide treatment decisions.
Augsburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07301801RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New scan for detecting and staging certain cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent (68Ga-FL-031) to see if it can help find and stage tumors in people with small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, or other cancers. The goal is to improve diagnosis and treatment planning.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07302763Recruiting
PET imaging to track prostate cancer changes
This study uses special PET scans (up to 4 times) to see how metastatic prostate cancer changes over time. It is for people whose cancer has spread and is still growing after hormone treatments, and who are planning to start chemotherapy or PSMA therapy.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07301814Recruiting
PET imaging for CLDN18.2 in cancer patients
This study uses a special PET scan to look for a protein called CLDN18.2 on cancer cells. It may help doctors better understand certain cancers like stomach, pancreas, bile duct, or esophageal cancer and guide treatment decisions.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT03888950Recruiting
Interim PET-CT scan to assess anti-PD-1 treatment in melanoma
This study checks an “interim” whole-body scan (PET-CT) partway through treatment to see how well anti-PD-1 immunotherapy (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) is working for advanced melanoma. It may help doctors better understand early treatment response and guide next steps.
Nice, CHU de NICEAges 18 years+ - NCT06867588Recruiting
Adding PSMA PET to MRI for prostate cancer detection
This study is testing whether a special scan called a PSMA PET can help find significant prostate cancer in men who are already scheduled for an MRI-guided biopsy. It aims to see if combining the two scans gives a better picture of which prostate areas need to be biopsied.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06899516Recruiting
Brain tumors and pets: A study of needs and concerns
This study explores the relationship between people with brain tumors and their pets. It uses a questionnaire to better understand what concerns and needs you may have as a pet owner during your illness.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT06467773Recruiting
PET/MRI scan to track brain inflammation in stroke and MS
This study uses a special kind of PET/MRI scan to look at inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. It may help people with conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, or other immune-related brain diseases.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07213219Recruiting
PET-MRI scan for Parkinson's with sleep behavior disorder
This trial uses a combined PET and MRI scan to study the brain's reward system in people with Parkinson's disease who also have REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). It aims to understand how the brain changes and may help guide future treatments.

Extra PET scan to check for silent kidney transplant rejection
This study tests whether an additional PET scan can help detect and guide treatment for “subclinical” (silent) rejection in people with kidney transplants. It may help doctors spot problems earlier and manage them more appropriately.
Liège, LiègeAges 18 years+ - NCT06355427RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New PET scan for bile duct cancer before surgery
This trial tests a new type of PET-CT scan (called FAPI) to see if it helps doctors better decide treatment for people with bile duct cancer that can be surgically removed. It may help avoid unnecessary surgery if the scan shows the cancer has spread.

PET imaging study using 18F-FAPI-04 for breast cancer
This study tests a new imaging agent (18F-FAPI-04) for PET scans to see if it can better detect breast cancer or its spread. It may help doctors find tumors 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.
