Recruiting studies
- NCT06659705RecruitingPhase 2

Testing a new brain scan tracer for Huntington's disease
This trial tests a new radioactive tracer called [11C]CHDI-00491009 that may show mutant huntingtin protein in the brain using a PET scan. It aims to find out if the tracer is safe and helps see Huntington's disease changes. If you have early-stage Huntington's or are a healthy volunteer, you may be able to join.
LeuvenAges 18–64 - NCT06618872Recruiting
Comparing tau and amyloid PET scans for memory problems
This study compares two types of brain PET scans (tau and amyloid) to see which one better helps diagnose memory problems. You may be eligible if you have mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia and your doctor has already ordered an amyloid PET scan.

This trial uses a special PET scan to see if PSMA, a protein on some cancer cells, can help detect triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–90 - NCT06584123Recruiting
Molecular imaging of pituitary adenoma with 18F-FET PET
This study uses a special PET scan (18F-FET) to get clearer images of pituitary adenomas (non-cancerous growths at the base of the brain). It is for people who have already had one type of PET scan and can help doctors understand the tumor better without invasive procedures.

PET scan to guide immunotherapy in advanced solid tumors
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how immune cells (CD8 T cells) are working in your tumor before you start a PD-1 immunotherapy drug (nivolumab or cetrelimab). The goal is to find out if the scan can predict whether the immunotherapy will work for you.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06537960Recruiting
Later scan images to better see bladder cancer spread
This trial tests whether taking extra, later images during your standard FDG PET-CT scan can give doctors a better view of how far your muscle-invasive bladder cancer has spread. You may be eligible if you are 18 or older, have confirmed muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and are already getting this type of scan.
Suresnes, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06522932RecruitingPhase 1
PET imaging study for people getting CAR-T therapy for lymphoma
This trial tests a special PET imaging agent (64Cu-GRIP B) to see if it can help track how well CAR-T therapy is working in people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is for patients who have had at least one prior treatment and are scheduled to receive a standard CD19-targeting CAR-T product.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06467968Recruiting
Heart analysis during DOTATOC PET/CT for neuroendocrine tumors
This study looks at how a PET/CT scan (called gallium-68 DOTATOC) can also check your heart health while scanning for a neuroendocrine tumor. It aims to see if the routine scan can give extra information about your heart function without any extra visits or radiation.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06466031Recruiting
PET/MRI for guiding glioblastoma surgery
This trial tests whether a special PET scan combined with MRI can help guide surgery for glioblastoma. It is for people with a newly diagnosed, single tumor who are candidates for surgery.
Lodz, Łódź VoivodeshipAges 18–70 - NCT06447103RecruitingPhase 2
New scan to find kidney cancer after surgery
This trial tests a special PET scan to see if it can better find leftover kidney cancer after surgery compared to a standard CT scan. You may qualify if you had kidney cancer surgery within the last 4-16 weeks and are at high risk of the cancer coming back.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06303921RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of a new brain imaging agent for Parkinson's disease
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how a new imaging agent (called 11C-M503) travels through the body and brain. It may help researchers better understand brain conditions like Parkinson's disease.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 40–85 - NCT06289582RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain imaging study for Parkinson's disease
This study uses a special PET scan to look at inflammation in the brain of people with Parkinson's disease or those at risk for it. The goal is to better understand the disease and possibly find new ways to track its progression.

Brain inflammation in multiple sclerosis: a PET-MRI imaging study
This study uses a special PET-MRI scan to look at brain inflammation in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). It may help researchers understand how inflammation changes when starting a stronger MS treatment.

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.
