Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 6–80 - NCT06548529Recruiting
HER2 PET/CT scan to predict treatment response in bladder cancer
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan to see if your bladder cancer has HER2 proteins, which can help predict how well you will respond to a targeted antibody-drug conjugate treatment. It is for people with advanced bladder cancer who have already tried certain standard therapies.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06563245RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Brentuximab vedotin for Hodgkin lymphoma in children and young adults
This trial tests the drug brentuximab vedotin for children and young adults (ages 2 to under 35) who have just been diagnosed with classical Hodgkin lymphoma. The treatment is guided by PET/CT scans to see how well it works.
ShanghaiAges 2–35 - NCT06850545Recruiting
Lu-177 treatment for PSMA-positive metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a radioactive drug called Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) that targets and kills prostate cancer cells showing a specific marker (PSMA). It's for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy, and who have already tried certain chemotherapy or cannot have it.
Kuopio, Northern SavoniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06256705Recruiting
Study of targeted radiation for neuroendocrine tumors
This study follows people with a type of digestive tract cancer called GEP-NET that has spread and is growing. It uses a special imaging scan to find tumors that absorb a radioactive drug, then treats them with targeted radiation therapy. The goal is to learn more about who benefits most from this treatment.
ClichyAges 18 years+ - NCT05656105RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan study of brain inflammation after COVID
This early-phase study uses a special PET scan to look for signs of brain inflammation in people with ongoing (long-term) nervous system symptoms after COVID-19. It may help researchers understand what is driving symptoms and whether this imaging approach can detect inflammation.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–65 - NCT05436093Recruiting
PET scan using a tumor-targeting probe in solid tumors
This trial studies whether a special PET scan probe that targets CLDN18.2 can help show solid tumors in the body. If you have a solid tumor that can be measured on scan, you may be invited to have imaging with the probe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05152888RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a cholesterol drug to improve heart blood flow on scans
This trial studies whether lowering LDL (“bad cholesterol”) with a PCSK-9 inhibitor (evolocumab) improves blood flow to the heart, measured by special PET scans. It’s for people over a certain age who have stable coronary artery disease and a higher risk of heart problems.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 50–90 - NCT04721418Recruiting
Imaging brain changes in cocaine use or health controls
This study uses a brain scan to look at changes in brain connections in people with cocaine use disorder, and compares them with healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand how cocaine affects the brain and what biological signs could be targeted in the future.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 21–60 - NCT04582916RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan study of inflammation in major depression
This Phase 1 study uses a PET brain scan to look at inflammation-related activity (cyclooxygenase) in people with major depressive disorder (MDD). It may help researchers better understand how depression is connected to inflammation in the brain.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT04143516RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test tissue testing right after liver tumor ablation
This study looks at liver metastases treated with a procedure that destroys tumors (ablation) and then checks tumor tissue right away. The team wants to see whether the tissue results can guide immediate retreatment to better control cancer in the liver.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04600115RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New MRI methods for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This study tests advanced MRI techniques to better understand heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work well. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for patients with this type of heart failure.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT04724928RecruitingPhase 2
PET-CT scan to guide bladder cancer treatment decisions
This Phase 2 study checks whether an FDG PET-CT scan can help doctors better predict bladder cancer risk and adjust treatment. You may still get standard bladder cancer care, but the study uses the scan results to help decide how aggressive treatment should be.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT03705715RecruitingPhase 1
Study brain immune-cell activity in different mental and brain conditions
This Phase 1 study looks for patterns (correlates) in how “microglial” brain immune cells become activated across different neuropsychiatric conditions and in healthy volunteers. It uses brain imaging to help researchers understand what might drive symptoms and differences between people.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06044857RecruitingPhase 1
PSMA PET-guided radiation for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation for high-risk prostate cancer. Doctors will use a special PET scan (PSMA PET) to find the main tumor inside the prostate and give it a stronger dose of radiation, along with standard hormone therapy. This approach might improve outcomes for patients with aggressive disease.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT07130409Recruiting
Heart imaging after emergency angioplasty for first heart attack
This study uses advanced heart scans (MRI) before and after a common artery-opening procedure to see how the heart heals. It only includes people having their first heart attack who get emergency treatment with a stent.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07173868Recruiting
PET scans for advanced breast cancer treatment planning
This trial tests whether a special PET scan (FDG PET-CT) can better track how well treatment is working for people with advanced breast cancer. It may help doctors choose the best therapy and monitor response over time.
Seoul, Gannam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT04737317Recruiting
Check criteria to diagnose cardiac sarcoidosis
This study tests how doctors can best tell whether someone has cardiac sarcoidosis, a condition where inflammation affects the heart. It may help you get a more accurate diagnosis using expert guidelines and special heart tests, and it groups patients as proven, probable, or unlikely.
LeipzigAges 18 years+ - NCT06387381RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan for PSMA/FAP-positive cancer
This trial tests a special PET scan using a tracer that attaches to certain markers (PSMA and FAP) found on some cancers. It aims to help doctors see where the cancer is, possibly leading to better treatment decisions.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06355713Recruiting

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.
