FASN Trial Summary

This trial tests omeprazole with cabazitaxel or docetaxel to see if it improves treatment effects.

Men over 18 with advanced prostate cancer that's gotten worse despite hormone therapy and previous taxane treatment (like docetaxel). They must be fairly active, have good organ function, expect to live more than 2 months, and agree to use birth control.

What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effects of omeprazole combined with cabazitaxel or docetaxel chemotherapy on men with castration-resistant prostate cancer. The goal is to see if omeprazole can enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy.See study design

Omeprazole may cause stomach pain, constipation, gas, nausea/vomiting; rare but severe side effects include rash, dizziness, kidney problems. Chemotherapy can lead to hair loss, fatigue, increased risk of infection due to low blood cell counts.
