PET scan study with oral radioactive sugar
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests if giving a radioactive sugar drink (instead of an IV) before a PET scan works well for cancer imaging. If you already had a standard PET scan, you may be eligible for a second scan using the oral version.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older
- You already had a standard PET scan with a radioactive sugar injection
- You are willing to have another PET scan within 2 weeks, using a radioactive sugar drink
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are medically stable and can lie still for the scan
- You do not have a stomach or esophagus tumor being treated or checked

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks whether a specific analysis method (called FUR) can better measure how much “sugar” from PET scans is used by tumors. It uses regular PET/CT scans you may already get as part of standard care, and compares how the measurements work.
This Phase 3 study tests how well a special PET/CT scan medicine (a slightly modified sugar) helps doctors investigate your condition. The goal is to improve how diseases like cancer, brain disorders, heart problems, or infection/inflammation are evaluated.
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a special imaging test) called 18F-FGIn to help doctors better detect and evaluate cancers. It may be more accurate than the standard PET scan for certain tumors like brain, liver, stomach, and colon cancers.
This trial compares different ways to measure sugar uptake in PET/CT scans for cancer. It aims to see which method gives the most accurate results to help guide your treatment.
This trial tests a high-resolution PET-CT scan done during surgery to help surgeons see exactly where the cancer ends. It may help make sure all cancer is removed while saving healthy tissue.
This trial uses a special PET scan to take pictures of certain solid tumors. The scan uses a new dye that may help doctors see the tumors more clearly. You may be eligible if you have one of the listed cancers and are between 18 and 75 years old with good daily function.
