Where can my husband get a PSMA scan in the US without having had chemo?

We live in GA and prefer close if possible.

I would like a PSMA scan to verify the results of a recent Axumin scan. I think that might be easier on him then a cystoscopy.

He hasn’t had chemo yet but has Mets in lungs, esophagus and now possibly bladder wall.

He takes Xtandi which is currently effective.

I have only been able to find PSMA studies that require previous chemo and progression on Xtandi.

Thanks.

I assume you found studies for Lu177 therapy like the vision trial. For a PSMA scan you just need the money or a trial which does for free.

One of our peers had one at Yale in New Haven. I had one at UCSF but I read they’ve stopped. See this for all locations:

I have contacted several of the suggested places that are most convenient for us. We have an appointment scheduled with one but not until mid April so I am seeing where he can get into the soonest. Thanks again for your help and I am open to more suggestions.
