CABA-GCT: A Prospective Study of Cabazitaxel in Patients With Non Seminomatous Germ-cell Tumors
Study Details
Study Description
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Favorable response [Assessed every 6 weeks from start of treatment up to 72 months]
To evaluate the favorable response rate of cabazitaxel treatment in patients with highly-pretreated nonseminomatous germ-cell tumors (NSGCT)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Response rate on brain metastases [Assessed every 6 weeks after treatment start up to 72 months]
MRI of the brain every 6 weeks only in case of brain metastases detected at baseline and for all patients at the end of the study. Evaluation will be made using RECIST V1.1
- Progression free survival [Assessed every 6 weeks from treatment start to progression up to 72 months]
- Overall survival [Assessed every 3 weeks after treatment start up to 72 months]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

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)

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
