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+ - NCT06865768RecruitingPhase 2
New PET-MRI scan for better prostate biopsy guidance
This trial tests a new imaging scan that combines a special PET tracer with MRI to help guide a prostate biopsy. The goal is to see if this scan can more accurately find cancer and reduce the need for extra biopsies.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06862856Recruiting
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+ - NCT05059158Recruiting
Study how the brain clears amyloid in Alzheimer’s
This trial studies how the brain removes amyloid-β, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in people with mild memory impairment or Alzheimer’s, and guide better treatments in the future.
München, BavariaAges 50–85 - NCT06821646Enrolling by invitation
Brain responses in depression and autism with TMS and EEG
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) and brain wave recording (EEG) to understand how the brain works in people with autism, depression, or both. It may help find better ways to treat these conditions.
TaipeiAges 20–50 - NCT06815029RecruitingPhase 1
Modified immune cells for recurrent brain cancer
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells that are genetically modified to find and attack brain tumor cells. It is for people with a type of brain cancer that has come back after standard therapy.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06735690RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Immune cells plus vaccine after stem cell transplant for leukemia
This trial is for people with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are getting a stem cell transplant from a family donor. After transplant, you'd receive a treatment that combines specially designed immune cells (CAR T cells) that target your leukemia, plus a vaccine that helps those cells work better.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06725693Recruiting
PET scan using GLP-1 receptor tracer for cancers
This trial uses a special PET scan (a 3D imaging test) to look for cancer cells that have GLP-1 receptors, a protein on some tumors. It aims to see if this scan can help find or monitor cancer.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT05873777Recruiting
PET/CT scans to compare two tracers in FAP or SSTR2-positive cancer
This study compares two special PET/CT scan tracers—68Ga-FAPI-LM3 and 18F-FDG—to see how well they detect cancer that shows FAP or SSTR2 signals. It may help doctors choose better imaging to find or assess certain tumors.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06690970Recruiting
PSMA PET/CT scan for people with or suspected to have cancer
This study is looking at how well a special type of PET/CT scan (called PSMA PET/CT) can see cancer in people who have or may have certain tumors. It may help doctors better understand and track the disease.

Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT06675357RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI PET/MRI scan for prostate cancer
This trial uses a new type of PET/MRI scan (called FAPI) to see how well it can find prostate cancer. It may help doctors learn about a different way to image the cancer. You can join if you already have a scheduled or recent PSMA PET scan.

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 - NCT06630845Recruiting
Comparing two whole-body scan methods for metastatic cancer
This trial tests whether a newer type of MRI scan (called whole-body DWI) can work as well as a standard PET/CT scan (called FDG PET) for finding and monitoring cancer that has spread. If you have metastatic cancer and already have a scheduled PET/CT or other scan, you may be able to get both scans done, helping researchers compare the two methods.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for positron emission tomography?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 344 recruiting positron emission tomography 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 positron emission tomography 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 positron emission tomography 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.
