E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the CAINTA study is to apply individualized cabazitaxel dosing in patients with advanced CRPC. By applying the prespecified dosing algorithm in the experimental treatment group (Arm B), the clinical feasibility rate is expected to increase from 40% in the conventional treatment Arm A to 75% in the experimental treatment Arm B (all toxicity grading according to the CTCAE version 4.0). Clinical feasibility is defined as the absence of any of the following criteria: Grade 4 neutropenia, grade 4 thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenia of any grade with bleeding, febrile neutropenia, grade 3-4 non-hematological toxicity, withdrawal due to cabazitaxel-related toxicity or death. At the same time, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) must not be affected by individualized dosing of cabazitaxel. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
The primary objective of this subproject is the exploratory analysis of cabazitaxel pathway-associated gene polymorphisms in study patients, and compare potential germline polymorphism DNA mutations with clinical outcome, i.e. treatment activity and adverse events. •Which genes differentiate patients experiencing severe neutropenia from those experiencing mild neutropenia •Which genes differentiate chemotherapy (cabazitaxel) responders from non-responders •Which genes differentiate patients with a short progression-free survival from those with a long progression-free survival •Which genes differentiate patients with severe treatment-associated toxicity from those with no or mild treatment-associated toxicity •Which genes differentiate patients with a short overall survival from those with a long overall survival |

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
The database will be closed 8 months following the enrollmentt of the last Patient. After completion of the Treatment Phase, patients will enter into an observational follow-up (F/U) phase until death, lost to follow-up or the Overall study end. Therefore. the end of the Trial cannot be "last visit of the last subject undergoing the Trial". |
