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
  • Bilirubin </= 1.5 x ULN
  • Information delivered to patient and informed consent form signed by the patient or his legal representative
  • Patient affiliated to a social security system or beneficiary of the same

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.
  • Patient with reproductive potential not implementing accepted and effective method of contraception for up to 6 months after the last dose of cabazitaxel.
  • 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
