Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT06601075Recruiting
FDG and FAPI PET Scans for Advanced Colorectal Cancer
This trial uses two types of PET/CT scans (FDG and FAPI) to better see and track colorectal cancer that has spread to the belly lining (peritoneum). It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment by improving how they detect and monitor the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 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 - NCT04813705RecruitingPhase 2
PET/CT-guided lower-dose radiation for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special scan (PET/CT) to guide radiation can safely reduce the radiation dose for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. It may help lessen side effects while still treating the cancer effectively.
Taizhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT04901884Recruiting
PET/MR scans before and after radiation for heart-lung effects
This study uses special PET/MR imaging before and after radiation treatment to better understand how radiation may affect the heart and lungs. It may help researchers find ways to predict and monitor these side effects using imaging and blood tests.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04943211RecruitingPhase 3
PET-CT scan test to assess body inflammation in children
This Phase 3 study tests whether a special PET-CT scan tracer (fluorodeoxyglucose, or FDG) can better detect and measure a child’s suspected or confirmed histiocytosis. It also checks how safe the scan is, and how well the results match what doctors find.
Warsaw, MazovianAges 1–18 - NCT05140746Recruiting
Predicting how well chemotherapy works before stomach surgery
This study looks for ways to predict whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy (chemo given before surgery) will work well in people with locally advanced stomach cancer. It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan sooner based on your test results.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05308888RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan study of heart inflammation after aortic valve replacement
This Phase 2 trial uses a PET scan to study how local inflammation inside the heart affects the heart’s electrical wiring after a minimally invasive aortic valve procedure. The results may help doctors better predict or prevent rhythm and conduction problems after treatment.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT05321316Recruiting
PET scan test for bladder cancer using a targeted tracer
This trial studies a special PET/CT scan tracer that is designed to bind to a protein (Nectin-4) found in some bladder cancers. It aims to help doctors see and stage tumors more clearly, which could improve diagnosis and treatment planning.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT05543954RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/CT scan test to see lung cancer using a new tracer
This early-phase study tests a special whole-body scan (PET/CT) that uses injected tracers to help show where lung cancer may be. It may help researchers see tumors more clearly and compare different tracers during the same time window.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05549024RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/CT scan study for certain prostate, brain, or breast cancers
This early-phase study tests special PET/CT scans using a radioactive tracer to see cancer areas that have specific targets. It may help doctors better visualize tumors and plan next steps, using scans that you may already be familiar with (FDG) plus targeted tracers.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05641753RecruitingPhase 4
LDL-lowering study for adults with type 1 diabetes
This study looks at cholesterol lowering in adults with type 1 diabetes and whether it reduces “residual risk,” meaning risk that may remain even with current care. You may be asked to take cholesterol-focused treatment and complete blood tests to track LDL (“bad cholesterol”).
New York, New YorkAges 18–89 - NCT06014515RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Single injection PET scan to study body metabolism
This study uses a single injection and a special type of PET scan to look at how your body's tissues use fuel (metabolism). It helps researchers learn more about normal and disease-related changes in the heart, liver, and other organs.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06335069RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two PET tracers in ER-positive breast cancer
This trial compares two types of PET scans to see which one better detects ER-positive breast cancer. The results could help doctors choose the best scan for tracking your cancer.
MaastrichtAges 18 years+ - NCT06450548Recruiting
PSMA and FDG PET scans before 177Lu-PSMA therapy
This trial uses two types of PET scans (PSMA and FDG) to see how well a radioactive therapy called 177Lu-PSMA might work for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and chemotherapy.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT06597526Recruiting
PET/CT scanning to guide treatment for stomach cancer with abdominal spread
This trial uses two types of PET/CT scans (FDG and FAPI) to see how well chemotherapy or other treatments work before surgery for stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to find the best way to measure treatment response and help guide your care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying 18F-FDG?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 59 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.
