Recruiting studies
- NCT07615348RecruitingPhase 2
CD70 imaging to guide treatment breaks in advanced kidney cancer

The goal is to reduce unnecessary treatment while keeping the cancer controlled.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07089550Recruiting
PSMA PET scans to track treatment response in advanced prostate cancer
This study uses a special type of scan called a PSMA PET to see how well different prostate cancer treatments are working. It is for people with advanced prostate cancer who are about to start or change systemic therapy.
Bologna, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT05703685RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging brain inflammation target in depression with PET
This Phase 1 study uses a PET brain scan tracer to see how a specific brain target (PDE4B) is involved in major depressive disorder (MDD). It’s mainly testing whether the imaging approach works and what it shows in people with depression who meet specific safety and medication rules.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT05868902Recruiting
Study registry of heart imaging for suspected blocked heart flow
This study collects results from two types of heart imaging—cardiac PET and CardioFlux magnetocardiography—in people with suspected reduced blood flow to the heart. It may help researchers better understand which imaging findings match coronary ischemia and how the tests compare.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40 years+ - NCT07150715RecruitingPhase 2
Radioactive drug plus precise radiation for recurrent prostate cancer
This trial tests a powerful radioactive drug (either alpha or beta) combined with precise radiation to treat prostate cancer that has come back in a few spots outside the prostate. It may help men whose cancer is still hormone-sensitive and has not spread widely.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06646952Recruiting
PET imaging of solid tumors with a CD147-targeting probe
This trial tests a special imaging agent (a nanobody probe) that targets a protein called CD147 on tumor cells. If you have a solid tumor like melanoma, liver, colorectal, pancreatic, breast, stomach, or lung cancer, the PET scan may help doctors see your cancer more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06383598Recruiting
Imaging agent for PD-L1 on solid tumors
This trial uses a special injectable imaging agent (a 'probe') that lights up a protein called PD-L1 on your tumor cells. It helps doctors see your tumors more clearly on a PET scan, which may guide treatment decisions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06454955RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan imaging study for solid tumors using a new probe
This trial tests a new imaging agent that targets a protein called B7-H3 found on many solid tumors. It uses PET/CT to help doctors see and stage tumors more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07331532Recruiting
New pet scan to detect annexin a2 in lung tumors
This trial tests a new injection called 68Ga-PFA2 for PET/CT scans to find a protein called Annexin A2 in lung cancer tumors. It aims to see if this scan can better detect or characterize these tumors in patients who will have a biopsy or surgery soon.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05701176Recruiting
Imaging scan to see how anti–PD-1 changes lung cancer cells
This study uses special PET imaging to measure changes in a marker ([18F]F-AraG) in non-small cell lung cancer after starting anti–PD-1 treatment. It aims to learn whether these scan changes reflect how the cancer responds.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07295171Recruiting
PET scan study with oral radioactive sugar
This study tests if giving a radioactive sugar drink (instead of an IV) before a PET scan works well for cancer imaging. If you already had a standard PET scan, you may be eligible for a second scan using the oral version.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06758882RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery with or without apalutamide for high-risk prostate cancer that has spread a little
This trial tests whether adding the drug apalutamide before and after surgery helps men with high-risk prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots (seen on a special PET scan). You would also receive standard hormone therapy.
Torino, ToAges 18–80 - NCT06565936Recruiting
PET/MRI brain scans for understanding depression
This trial uses two special brain scans (DPA-714 and FDG PET/MRI) to look at inflammation and brain activity in people with first-episode or recurrent depression, and in healthy volunteers. It aims to find brain differences that could lead to better treatments.
Dalian, LiaoningAges 35–85 - NCT07741006Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
PET imaging study for adults with solid tumors
This study tests a new PET imaging agent called [68Ga]Ga-ELI411 to help see tumors more clearly. It is for adults with solid tumors who are already scheduled for a standard PET scan, and may help doctors better understand and manage their cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07265596RecruitingPhase 2
Brain Scan Study for Early Parkinson's Disease
This trial uses a special brain scan (PET scan) to look at early changes in people who have early signs of Parkinson's disease. The goal is to learn more about how Parkinson's develops over time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06949215RecruitingPhase 2
New PET scan to detect kidney cancer in complex cysts
This trial tests a special PET scan that may help doctors see if a complex kidney cyst is cancerous before surgery. It is for people who are already scheduled to have surgery to remove a kidney mass.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT03758989RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided treatment and monitoring for limited-stage lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment approach guided by PET scans, plus non-invasive monitoring, for adults with limited-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (a type of lymphoma). It may help by tailoring therapy based on scan and other follow-up information, aiming for better outcomes with fewer invasive steps.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06644274Recruiting
PET scan for tracking immunotherapy in gastrointestinal cancers

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pet?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 589 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.
