About this trial

The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good and bad) omeprazole and cabazitaxel, or omeprazole and docetaxel, has on participants and their condition. Investigators believe omeprazole may help the other medications work.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients must have castrate refractory prostate cancer with prior docetaxel treatment which was used in the castrate refractory setting

Cancer Progression as defined by prostate cancer working group 3 (PCWG3) any type- prostate specific antigen only, bone only +nodal, nodal only or new lesions

Age 18 or older.

ECOG 0, 1, or 2

Disqualifiers

Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.

History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to omeprazole or taxane therapy.

Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Omeprazole 80 mg twice daily

    Drug

    Participants will be treated with omeprazole 80 mg twice daily on Day 0. Within 10 days of starting omeprazole, participants will be treated with standard prostate cancer dosing of every three week docetaxel or cabazitaxel based on package insert. Participants that have only had docetaxel will be retreated with docetaxel along with concurrent omeprazole. Patients that have had both docetaxel and cabazitaxel will be retreated with either cabazitaxel or docetaxel (investigators choice) along with concurrent omeprazole. However investigators encourage investigator to choose cabazitaxel in patients previously treated with cabazitaxel.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change Radiographic Response - RECIST 1.1

Response will be defined by RECIST 1.1 as defined by Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 definition for complete response (CR) - disappearance of all target lesions); partial response (PR) (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions); progressive disease (PD) (at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters or target lesions); stable disease (SD) (neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient to qualify for progressive disease); or not evaluable (NE).

Time frame
Up to approximately 2 years
2

Change in Bone Metastasis Response - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3)

Response will be defined by Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3) for complete response (CR), partial response (PR), progressive disease (PD), stable disease (SD) or not evaluable (NE).

Time frame
Up to approximately 2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression

Investigators will collect PSA to determine whether PSA progression is positive or negative. Positive meaning that PSA slope is getting worse over time than it was prior to treatment and negative meaning PSA slope is improving after treatment when compared to baseline.

Time frame
At baseline and up to approximately 2 years
2

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response

Investigators will examine a PSA response rate (baseline on clinical definition of PSA response). In this analysis investigators will determine for each participant if they are a PSA responder (yes/no) and then using this data will estimate a 95% exact Clopper Pearson binomial interval for the PSA response rate.

Time frame
At baseline and up to approximately 2 years
3

Patient Reported Outcome - Pain

Participants will report pain intensity at Cycle 1 Day 1 (baseline) compared to Cycle 5, Day 1 and Day 1 of every subsequent cycle on numeric scale of 0-to-10 (0 = no pain, 10 = worse imaginable pain). A paired t-test will be performed to determine whether the Pain score improved or worsened in patients after treatment.

Time frame
At baseline, 12 weeks, and Day 1 of every subsequent cycle (each cycle is 28 days) up to approximately 2 years
