Neoadjuvant Chemohormonal Therapy Followed by Salvage Surgery for High Risk PSA

All patients will receive luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy (leuprolide or goserelin acetate) concurrent with Cabazitaxel, before surgery. A course of bicalutamide 50 mg daily orally for 14-21 days is recommended for patients starting LHRH agonist therapy and suspected to be at risk for tumor flare, e.g., significant obstructive urinary symptoms and will be optional in other patients.

Intravenous treatment with Cabazitaxel 25 mg/m\^2 is given on day 1 every 21 days. A cycle of chemotherapy will be defined as 21 days. A total of four cycles of combination therapy are planned for a total duration of 12 weeks (before surgery), starting within 3 weeks of protocol entry, to be given concurrent with hormone therapy.

Patients will undergo 4 cycles of chemotherapy in conjunction with LHRH agonist therapy (before surgery) subsequent to which they will have their serum Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), bone scan, abdominal pelvic computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) repeated. Patients with a detectable metastatic diseases will be removed from the study. Salvage surgery will be performed within 8 weeks after the completion of Cabazitaxel chemotherapy. For patients who achieved undetectable PSA following surgery, androgen deprivation therapy will be discontinued.

All treatment will be given on an outpatient basis. Treatment should start within 3 weeks of protocol entry. All patients will receive androgen ablation with LHRH agonist therapy in conjunction with the 4 cycles of Cabazitaxel for neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy. Androgen ablative therapy will be discontinued before surgery. A course of bicalutamide 50 mg daily orally for 14-21 days is recommended for patients starting LHRH agonist therapy and suspected to be at risk for tumor flare, e.g., significant obstructive urinary symptoms and will be optional in other patients.

"All treatment will be given on an outpatient basis and should start within 3 weeks of protocol entry. Intravenous treatment with Cabazitaxel is given on Day 1 every 3 weeks. A cycle of combination therapy will be defined as 3 weeks. A total of 4 cycles of combination therapy are planned before surgery for a total duration of 12 weeks.~Cabazitaxel will be administered before surgery by one-hourly infusions via central or peripheral intravenous access at a dose of 25 mg/m\^2 as a one hour intravenous infusion in combination with oral prednisone 10 mg administered daily throughout Cabazitaxel treatment. It is advised that all patients receiving Cabazitaxel have a reliable form of venous access, e.g., central venous catheter to ensure their ability to receive therapy without undue delay."
