Omeprazole and Cabazitaxel for the Treatment of Docetaxel- and Castration- Resistant Prostate Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial studies the effects of omeprazole and cabazitaxel in treating patients with prostate cancer that grows and continues to spread despite the surgical removal of the testes or medical intervention to block androgen production (castration-resistant) while taking docetaxel. Omeprazole works to reduce the amount of acid the stomach produces. Chemotherapy drugs, 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 omeprazole and cabazitaxel may delay the spread of the prostate cancer.
