Introduction & Objectives: First-line docetaxel is the standard of care for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Until recently, patients with CRPC had limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis once they became refractory to docetaxel chemotherapy. In 2010 the reported results from phase 3 trials for second line treatment with the novel taxane cabazitaxel were published. They showed improved survival rates for patients with CRPC. Therefore in 2011 we have started cabazitaxel chemotherapy for treatment of patients with CRPC who have previously been treated with docetaxel. Material & Methods: Our first patient had a systemic disease progression 5 years after radical surgical therapy in 8/2005. After resistance to further hormonal manipulation and radiation we started the chemotherapy with docetaxel. Due to a PSA-Progression (747 ng/ml) under chemotherapy we saw the indication for a second-line therapy with cabazitaxel. Our second patient had his surgical therapy already in 1997. After radiatio-, hormone depletion-therapy and two times 6 courses of docetaxel chemotherapy he showed up with a hydronephrosis and raising PSA (301 ng/ml). Results: The first patient tolerated the cabazitaxel chemotherapy very badly. Already during the first few courses this patient developed neutropenic fever. Therefore we decided to a dose-reduction. After an initial PSA decrease to 540ng/ml the PSA-increased up to 1910 ng/ml already after the 3rd course of chemotherapy. In addition the patient developed gastrointestinal bleedings, so we had to stop the cabazitaxel therapy and switch to abiraterone. The second patient showed initially a good treatment response with cabazitaxel, with a PSA decrease to 179ng/ml. But even this patient developed after the 3rd course neutropenic fever and a PSA-progression. Due to the distinctive side effects and toxicity we recommended a therapy-alteration to abiraterone. Conclusions: Cabazitaxel is a new option for patients with CRPC with disease progression during or after docetaxel treatment. The therapy side effects are particularly so severe that they limit the therapy effect of the already usually very morbid patients. The therapy effect has according to our experience only a limited duration. We assume abiraterone is a better second-line alternative.

The investigators propose to study the single agent activity of Cabazitaxel in a Phase II trial of subjects with relapsed or refractory non-small cell lung cancer pretreated with docetaxel, given the fact of its significant activity and its acceptable toxicity profile.
