This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cabazitaxel when given together with prednisone, abiraterone, and enzalutamide in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Prednisone is an orally given steroid drug that helps in blocking some side effects of abiraterone. Abiraterone may lower the level of testosterone and enzalutamide may block the action of testosterone and these actions will prevent the growth of prostate cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cabazitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving prednisone, abiraterone, cabazitaxel, and enzalutamide may work better in treating patients with castration-resistant cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the feasibility and recommended phase II dose of the combination of prednisone, abiraterone, cabazitaxel and enzalutamide (PACE) as first-line therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine prostate specific antigen (PSA) declines >= 30% within 12 weeks and maximum declines at any time with PACE.
II. To determine radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) with PACE.
III. To determine overall survival (OS).
IV. To determine objective response rate of measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.
V. To determine pain response.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine circulating tumor cell (CTC) enumerations and AR-V7 expression by immunofluorescence (IF) in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) at baseline and 12 weeks (EPIC platform).
II. To determine androgen receptor (AR) alterations in circulating-free (cf)-deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) at baseline and 12 weeks using the Guardant platform.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of cabazitaxel, given in combination with prednisone, abiraterone, and enzalutamide.
Patients receive prednisone orally (PO) twice daily (BID), abiraterone acetate PO once daily (QD), and enzalutamide PO QD on days 1, 8, and 15, and cabazitaxel intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Note: Continuation of cabazitaxel beyond 16 courses may be considered per investigator discretion after consulting with the principal investigator.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.
