Brain Imaging Study of Arteriovenous Malformations Before and After Surgery
This research study uses special brain imaging scans to understand how an unruptured arteriovenous malformation (an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the brain) affects blood flow and thinking abilities before and after surgical treatment. The goal is to learn how surgery impacts brain function and cognition in patients like you.

DLL3-targeted PET/CT scan for neuroendocrine cancer
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan that targets a substance called DLL3, found on some cancer cells, to see if doctors can better detect or monitor neuroendocrine carcinoma. It may help you and your doctor get clearer information about your cancer.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT07448727Recruiting
Early PET scan for head and neck cancer on immunotherapy
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan early in treatment to see if first-line immunotherapy is working for people with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer. It aims to learn if early response can predict outcomes and help guide care.
Rome, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT05463913RecruitingPhase 4
Scan and spot lung nodules with special PET/CT
This trial tests a newer PET/CT scan method to detect uncertain (indeterminate) lung nodules more accurately before biopsy or surgery. If you have a small lung nodule that doctors are still unsure about, this could help improve how nodules are found and assessed.
GroningenAges 18–100 - NCT07301801RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New scan for detecting and staging certain cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent (68Ga-FL-031) to see if it can help find and stage tumors in people with small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, or other cancers. The goal is to improve diagnosis and treatment planning.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07285564Recruiting
Using a special PET scan to check cancer removal during head and neck surgery
This study tests whether a special PET scan (micro-PET-CT) taken just after tumor removal can help confirm that no cancer cells are left behind. It is for patients with head and neck cancers who are scheduled for surgery.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT07147309Recruiting
PET scans for epilepsy surgery planning
This trial tests three types of PET scans to help doctors exactly locate the part of the brain causing seizures before surgery. It's for people with epilepsy that isn't controlled by medication and who are already planning surgery or an SEEG.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–50 - NCT07023861Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
New imaging test for HER2-positive cancers

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.
