PET-CT scan compares two tests for lung scarring
This early (Phase 1) study compares two types of PET-CT scans to see how well they detect and measure lung scarring (pulmonary fibrosis). It may help doctors choose the best scan test for diagnosis in the future.

Predicting ADC treatment response with PET scans in advanced breast cancer
This study uses special PET scans to see if a type of targeted therapy called an anti-TROP2 ADC will work well for your advanced breast cancer. The therapy is already part of your standard care; the scans help doctors understand how your tumor responds.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06791226Recruiting
Testing FAPI PET/CT for eye socket tumors
This study tests whether a new type of PET/CT scan (FAPI) can provide better images of tumors in the eye socket than the standard FDG scan. If you have a suspected or newly diagnosed orbital tumor, joining could help doctors see your tumor more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 3–80 - NCT07048405Recruiting
Does Cold Boost Brown Fat in Healthy People?
This study tests whether brief, repeated exposure to cold can increase your body's 'brown fat,' a type of fat that burns energy and may help with metabolism. Healthy volunteers will undergo controlled cooling sessions and imaging scans to measure changes in their brown fat activity.
EdinburghAges 18–40 - NCT02685969Recruiting

This study uses brain imaging to measure two things in the brain—amyloid protein and how the brain uses sugar. It may help researchers better understand early brain changes in people in the ALFA project.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 45–75 - NCT06956391RecruitingPhase 2
Ultra-low dose PET scan study using FDG
This study tests if a very low dose of a standard PET scan tracer (FDG) can produce clear images. It may help people who need a PET scan but are concerned about radiation exposure.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18–120 - NCT06723665Enrolling by invitation
PET/CT scan for prostate cancer patients
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan called 18F-PSMA-1007 to take detailed pictures of prostate cancer. It's for people who might have prostate cancer, have been diagnosed, or need to check how their cancer is doing after treatment.
Wuxi, JiangsuAges 40–75 - 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+ - NCT06613841RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain tumor imaging study for glioblastoma patients
This study uses special PET scans (fluciclovine and FDG) and advanced MRI to create a detailed metabolic profile of glioblastoma. It may help doctors better understand your tumor before surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06453915RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain PET scan for inflammation in fatty liver disease
This study uses a special PET scan to look for inflammation in the brain related to fatty liver disease. It may help researchers understand how liver health affects brain function.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06224309Recruiting
Testing a new imaging tracer for certain blood cancers
This trial tests a new PET/CT imaging tracer called [18F]BL40 to see if it can help spot certain types of blood cancers. It may help doctors better understand and monitor these diseases.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19–100 - NCT06103838RecruitingPhase 2
Fluciclovine PET/CT scan for multiple myeloma
This trial tests whether a special PET/CT scan (using fluciclovine, a radioactive tracer) can more clearly see multiple myeloma in the body. It may help doctors evaluate the extent of the disease and guide treatment decisions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06829043Enrolling by invitation
PET scan for uncertain thyroid nodules
This study uses a special PET scan (18F-FDG PET/CT) to get a clearer picture of thyroid nodules with uncertain biopsy results. The goal is to help doctors decide whether surgery is needed.
Bologna, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07443696RecruitingPhase 2
Heart imaging test to see if bypass surgery could help
This study uses two imaging scans to see if parts of your heart muscle are still alive but not working well. This could help doctors decide if you might benefit from heart bypass surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT04416165Recruiting
FDG versus FAPI PET scans for different cancers
This study compares two types of PET/CT scans—one that uses FDG and one that uses FAPI—to help doctors see and evaluate cancer in different situations. It may help improve how well scans detect tumors and guide care, though it requires getting both scans scheduled.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–90 - NCT04813705RecruitingPhase 2

What 18F-FDG is being studied for
Conditions with recruiting 18F-FDG studies.
Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying 18F-FDG?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 53 recruiting studies that include 18F-FDG, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a 18F-FDG trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is 18F-FDG an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether 18F-FDG or a specific trial is right for you.
