Primary Objective:
- To assess the potential effect on QTcF interval (QTc Fridericia) of cabazitaxel in cancer patients
Secondary Objectives:
- To assess the effects of cabazitaxel on heart rate (HR), QT, QTcB (Bazett's correction), and QTcN (population specific correction) intervals
- To assess the clinical safety of cabazitaxel
- To assess cabazitaxel plasma concentrations at Cycle 1 at early timepoints (during infusion and up to 5h post end of infusion)
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Neoplasms, Malignant | Drug: Cabazitaxel (XRP6258) | Phase 1 |
The main period of the study consists of a maximum of 21-day screening phase, then first 2 treatment cycles with cabazitaxel. End of main period will be Cycle 3 or 30 days after last dose if patient discontinues study after 1 or 2 treatment cycles. The duration for a patient for the main period of the study will be about 9 to 10 weeks (screening, 2 cycles).
After Cycle 2, patients will have the option to continue to receive cabazitaxel and should be followed for safety reporting until 30 days after the last dose of cabazitaxel.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: cabazitaxel
At every cycle (every 3 weeks), on Day 1, patients will receive cabazitaxel, administered by intravenous (IV) infusion over 1 hour, at 25 mg/m2. An IV premedication regimen composed of up to 4 treatments (antihistamine, corticosteroids, H2 antagonist other than cimetidine at all cycles, plus palonosetron at cycle 1) will be administered before cabazitaxel infusion. |
Drug: Cabazitaxel (XRP6258)
Pharmaceutical form:solution for infusion Route of administration: intravenous |

Inclusion criteria:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed solid malignancy that is metastatic or unresectable, and for which standard curative measures do not exist, and a treatment with a novel taxane agent is considered.
Exclusion criteria:
- Conditions with screening ECG repolarization difficult to interpret, or showing significant abnormalities. This includes, but is not limited to: high degree AV block, pace-maker, atrial fibrillation or flutter
- QTcF >480 msec on screening Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Significant hypokalemia at screening (serum potassium <3.5 mMol/L)
- Significant hypomagnesemia at screening (serum magnesium <0.7 mMol/L) (Note: Patient may be enrolled after correction of these laboratory abnormalities)
- Patient receives (and cannot discontinue), or is scheduled to receive a QT-prolonging drug
