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+ - NCT06958328RecruitingPhase 3
Testing higher dose radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests if a higher dose of radiation therapy can help people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer after they've had 4–6 months of chemotherapy. It aims to improve cancer control without significantly increasing side effects.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07098598RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using FAPI-PET to diagnose pancreatic cancer
This trial uses a special imaging scan called FAPI-PET to help doctors better diagnose pancreatic cancer. If you are suspected of having pancreatic cancer or a recurrence, this study may help confirm or clarify your diagnosis.
TurkuAges 18–85 - NCT07110519RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan safety study with [18F]-Fluoromannitol in healthy volunteers
This study tests a new radioactive tracer called [18F]-Fluoromannitol for PET scans in healthy adults. It checks how the tracer moves in the body and if it's safe.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–75 - NCT07115017Recruiting
Testing a new PET scan tracer for brain inflammation in MS
This study uses a new radioactive tracer called [18F]-FZTA during a PET scan to see inflammation in the brain. Researchers want to test this tracer in both healthy adults and people with multiple sclerosis (MS) to see if it can help detect MS activity.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07120776Recruiting
PET scan study for chest pain in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
This trial uses a special PET scan to see if the drug Mavacamten (Camzyos) helps improve blood flow to the heart muscle in people with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) who have chest pain or shortness of breath. If you already take Mavacamten as part of your usual care, the study will compare your PET scan results before and after treatment.

Testing a new PET scan tracer for cancer diagnosis
This trial tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (called ⁶⁸Ga-FXX489) to help find and diagnose cancers. It is for people who are strongly suspected to have cancer and want to see if this new imaging method can help their doctors learn more about their disease.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT07188532Recruiting
Personalized high-dose radiation for Ewing sarcoma
This trial tests a personalized radiation therapy that adjusts the dose based on your tumor. It aims to improve treatment for Ewing sarcoma while limiting side effects.

Orbital blood vessel inflammation in optic nerve disease
This study uses MRI scans to look at inflammation in blood vessels around the eye in two conditions: giant cell arteritis (GCA, a type of blood vessel inflammation) and ischemic optic neuropathy (a condition where the optic nerve doesn't get enough blood). The goal is to better understand how inflammation affects the optic nerve and vision, which could help guide future treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for positron emission tomography?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 356 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.
