Brief Summary:
Cabazitaxel is already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in patients with advanced prostrate cancer, following docetaxel therapy. The purpose of this study is to better understand the response and toxicity of cabazitaxel of elderly men (age 75 years and older) with advanced prostate cancer who have progressed during or after treatment with docetaxel. All patients on this study will receive cabazitaxel by intravenous (through a vein) infusion plus prednisone by mouth twice daily, and following the chemotherapy infusions, an injection of a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). G-CSF will help the body produce more white blood cells, which should help decrease the risk of getting an infection while being treated with cabazitaxel.
Detailed Description:
This is a single arm, open label, phase II trial of cabazitaxel every 3 weeks in patients who are ≥ 75 years of age with castration-resistant, metastatic prostate cancer who have progressed during or after docetaxel.
Primary objective:
-The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of cabazitaxel in men 75 years of age or older with castration-resistant, metastatic prostate cancer who have progressed during of following treatment with docetaxel.
Secondary objectives:
* To characterize the safety and tolerability of cabazitaxel in patients ≥ 75 years of age
* To determine the PSA response
* To determine the effect of cabazitaxel on functional status using geriatric assessments
Exploratory objectives:
* Determine the effect of therapy with cabazitaxel on the number of circulating tumor cells (CTC)
* To measure the effects of cabazitaxel on apoptosis in CTCs from patients ≥ 75 years of age using H2AX and M30 as biomarkers.
* To determine the relationship between geriatric-focused assessment of comorbidity and functional ability and toxicity and response.
Patients will receive cabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 every 3 weeks with 10 mg prednisone daily until progression, intolerance of therapy, or withdrawal of consent. Patients will receive granulocyte colony stimulating factor (Neulasta 6 mg sc) with each cycle, starting with the first cycle, to minimize the risk of complications from neutropenia. Patients will be followed for 28 days after discontinuation of therapy or death, whichever occurs first. Patients with serious adverse events at the time of removal from the trial will be followed until the toxicities resolve or are deemed irreversible by the treating physician.
