Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Non-squamous head and neck cancer 2. Nasopharynx cancer 3. More than two lines of chemotherapy for palliative treatment 4. Surgery or investigational drugs or chemotherapy within 4 weeks before study inclusion. For irradiation, if palliative (i.e 8 Gy on a painful lesion) no delay is needed and for curative radiotherapy (65-70 Gy) a delay of 8 weeks minimum is needed or until recovery of any major event related to RT. 5. Previous treatment with cabazitaxel 6. Significant active cardiac disease including: uncontrolled high blood pressure according to the CTCAE 4 grading, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months, or serious cardiac arrhythmias 7. Other uncontrolled illnesses (active infections requiring antibiotics, bleeding disorders, uncontrolled diabetes …) 8. Previous malignancy from which the patient has been disease-free for 2 peripheral neuropathy 11. Active grade > 2 stomatitis 12. Known brain or leptomeningeal involvement 13. History of severe hypersensitivity reaction (> grade 3) to polysorbate 80 containing drugs 14. Concurrent or planned treatment with strong inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3A/5. A one-week washout period is necessary for patients who are already on these treatments. 15. Organic brain syndrome or significant psychiatric abnormality that would preclude participation in the full protocol and follow up. ;Exclusion criteria: 1. Non-squamous head and neck cancer 2.
