Cabazitaxel and Prednisone Regimen for Prostate Cancer

Prednisone plus cabazitaxel or mitoxantrone for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer progressing after docetaxel tre

Cabazitaxel is a novel tubulin-binding taxane drug with antitumour activity in docetaxel-resistant cancers. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of cabazitaxel plus prednisone with those of mitoxantrone plus prednisone in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with progressive disease after docetaxel-based treatment. We undertook an open-label randomised phase 3 trial i...

Cabazitaxel: a new drug for metastatic prostate cancer.

I n Western countries, prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men and ranks third in mortality. In 2010, an estimated 217 730 new cases are anticipated in the United States, and about 32 050 men are expected to die from the disease. Until 2004, numerous clinical trials in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) failed to demonstrate any significant change in o...

The Influence of Prednisone on the Efficacy of Cabazitaxel in Men with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Background: Cabazitaxel is a second-generation taxane that is approved for use with concomitant low dose daily prednisone in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after docetaxel failure. Since the role of daily corticosteroids in improving cabazitaxel efficacy or ameliorating its safety profile has not been adequately investigated so far, we compared outcomes of patients rece...
