Recruiting studies
- NCT07178587Recruiting
New PET scan for liver and neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a new PET imaging method that uses two different tracers to find and stage liver cancer (HCC) or neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) more accurately. It may help doctors decide on the best treatment for you.

Belzutifan and imaging in advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug called belzutifan combined with a special imaging agent (89Zr-DFO-girentuximab) to see how they affect PET scans in people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer. It may help doctors better understand the cancer and guide treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07162779Enrolling by invitation
New PET scan for advanced prostate cancer patients
This trial tests a new type of PET scan using a radioactive tracer called [68Ga]DOTA-IR-780-C-4 to see if it can find prostate cancer cells that express a protein called PSMA. If you have advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments, this scan may help your doctor better understand your cancer and possibly guide future care.
Wuxi, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07163247Recruiting
Pet robot help for ICU patients on a ventilator
This trial tests if spending time with a robotic pet (like a dog or cat) can help patients in the intensive care unit who are having trouble breathing on their own. It is for people who have been on a breathing machine for more than three days and whose first attempt to breathe without it didn't work.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07108244Enrolling by invitation
Better brain scan for small pituitary tumors in Cushing's disease
This study tests a special type of brain scan (PET-MRI) to better find tiny pituitary tumors causing Cushing's disease. It may help people whose standard MRI didn't show a clear tumor.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07104058Recruiting
FAPI PET scan to predict relapse in IgG4-RD
This study tests whether a special PET scan (FAPI PET/CT) can detect tiny signs of disease activity (MRD) in people with stable IgG4-RD, and whether it helps predict who might relapse.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07087080Recruiting
Using blood tests to tell if lung spots are cancer
This trial studies a blood test to help tell if a spot on your lung found by a PET-CT scan is cancer or not. It might help avoid unnecessary procedures in the future.
Genk, LimburgAges Any age - NCT07095205RecruitingPhase 4
Nicotine's effect on depression in brain imaging study
This trial uses a special brain scan to see how nicotine might help treat depression. It compares people with depression to healthy volunteers to understand how nicotine affects brain chemistry related to mood.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT07052214RecruitingPhase 3
PSMA PET plus MRI to find prostate cancer
This trial tests if combining a PSMA PET scan with an MRI can better detect clinically significant prostate cancer than MRI alone. It may help men who have not had a prostate biopsy before and have certain risk factors.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07013331Recruiting
Brain scan study for Dravet syndrome
This study uses a special PET-MRI scan to look at a brain chemical pathway linked to serotonin (a mood-regulating substance) in people with Dravet syndrome or certain types of epilepsy, and in healthy volunteers. It may help understand how the brain works in these conditions.
Bron, RhoneAges 18–60 - NCT06970275Recruiting
PET-CT imaging study for cancer surgery patients
This trial uses a special PET-CT scanner to take high-resolution images of cancer tumors that have been surgically removed. The goal is to see how well these images match the results from standard lab tests, such as pathology, and to track long-term outcomes.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06945549Recruiting
New PET scan for inflammatory bowel disease activity
This trial tests a new type of PET scan to see if it can accurately spot inflamed or damaged areas in the intestines of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). If it works, it could help doctors track disease activity without relying only on invasive tests.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06932809RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain Uptake Study of a New Imaging Tracer
This study uses a special PET scan to see how a new tracer (18F-JSS20-183A) moves through the body and brain. It may help researchers learn more about brain diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40–85 - NCT06917781Recruiting
Prostate cancer blood test vs. PSMA-PET scan study
This study is checking how well a blood test (liquid biopsy) can find prostate cancer and compare it to a special PET scan (PSMA-PET). If you qualify, you might help improve how we track prostate cancer without needing more invasive biopsies.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06916637Recruiting
PET Imaging Study for HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
This study tests a new imaging method (18F-HER2 Affibody PET) to find HER2 protein in breast cancer cells. It may help doctors see which patients might benefit from HER2-targeted treatments.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06909604Recruiting
PET scan for HER2 breast cancer during treatment
This trial tests a new imaging test (a special PET scan) that can see HER2 proteins in breast cancer tumors. It is for people who are already getting treatment before surgery to see if the scan helps doctors understand how well the therapy is working.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06894745RecruitingPhase 1
PET imaging of solid tumors with 89Zr-DFO-starPEG
This early-phase trial tests a new imaging agent called 89Zr-DFO-starPEG that may help doctors see solid tumors more clearly on PET scans. It is a safety and imaging study, not a treatment, and may help find tumors in people with various types of cancer.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06877949Recruiting
PET/CT vs. CT Scan for Monitoring Metastatic Breast Cancer
This trial compares two types of scans (PET/CT and CT) to see which is better at monitoring metastatic breast cancer. If you are starting your first treatment for breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, this study may help determine the best way to track your disease.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06875765Recruiting
Long-term brain imaging study for Parkinson's patients

PET Scan for Men With Very Low PSA After Prostate Surgery
This trial tests a PET scan (flotufolastat F 18) to find tiny prostate cancer cells in men whose PSA is very low but still rising after prostate removal. It may help guide further treatment decisions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06833229Recruiting
Can a PET scan predict if immunotherapy is working?
This study uses a special PET-CT scan early in your treatment to see if immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) is working against your advanced lung cancer. The goal is to find out faster if the treatment is helping.

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.
