Study Overview
Brief Summary
Cabazitaxel is a new generation taxane with a high capacity for blood-brain barrier crossing and limited peripheral neuro-toxicity, two major potential advantages in patients with advanced NSGCTs.
Cabazitaxel has a broader in vitro spectrum of activity than docetaxel. Taxanes have demonstrated activity in pre-treated GCTs and are now part of standard treatment, but cabazitaxel has not yet been tested in patients with NSGCT.

Inclusion Criteria
- •Male patients aged 15 years or older
- •Evidence of advanced NSGCT documented either by pathology or by elevated tumor markers (AFP or hCG) and a compatible clinical presentation
- •Primary site located in either the testis, the retroperitoneum or the mediastinum
- •Progressive disease after at least 2 lines of chemotherapy for advanced NSGCT (ie, non-stage I)
- •In case of brain metastases, confirm that patients should be stable / controlled with corticosteroid/anti seizures agents
- •No other progressive carcinoma within previous the 5 years, except for basal-cell carcinoma of the skin
- •Life expectancy >/= 3 months
- •Adequate hematologic function :
- •Hemoglobin >/= 10.0 g/dL
- •Absolute neutrophil count >/= 1.5 x 10 ^ 9/L,
- •Platelet count >/= 100 x 10 ^ 9/L,
- •Adequate organ function
- •Serum creatinine < 1.5 x ULN. If serum creatinine 1.0 - 1.5 x ULN, creatinine clearance calculated (or measured) according to CKD-EPI formula (see Appendix B) > 60 mL/min
- •AST/SGOT and ALT/SGPT </= 1.5 x ULN

Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients receiving anti cancer therapy within 4 weeks prior to enrolment
- •Previous radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to enrolment
- •Serious uncontrolled concurrent medical illness
- •History of severe hypersensitivity reaction (>/= grade 3) to polysorbate 80 containing drugs or to other taxanes
- •Concurrent or planned treatment with strong inhibitors or strong inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4/5 (see Appendix A). A one week wash-out period is necessary for patients who are already on these treatments.

- •Active Grade >/= 3 peripheral neuropathy
- •Patients who have had a major surgery within 4 last weeks prior enrolment
- •Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, and/or hypertension. History of congestive heart failure (NYHA III or IV) or myocardial infarction within last 6 months is also not allowed
