Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18–65 - 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 - 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+ - 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.
BrestAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT02641145Recruiting
PET/MRI scans in light-chain amyloid heart disease
This study uses special PET and heart MRI scans to better understand light-chain amyloidosis affecting the heart. The scans may help researchers see how the disease behaves in different patient groups and treatment states.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT07463625Recruiting
PET scan for finding ACTH-secreting pituitary tumors
This trial tests a special PET scan using a tracer called FET to locate tiny ACTH-producing pituitary tumors (microadenomas) causing Cushing's disease. It might help guide surgery by identifying exactly where the tumor is in the gland.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT07473102RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan for abdominal aortic aneurysm
This study uses a special PET scan to look for signs of inflammation in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). It may help doctors understand which aneurysms are at risk of growing or rupturing.
St Louis, MissouriAges 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.

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+ - NCT07553780Recruiting
Tracking Prostate Cancer Response Using PSMA Imaging Scans

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pet?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 591 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.
