Brief summary

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.

Detailed description

Primary Objective(s): Obtain RECIST Overall Response Rate (ORR) of 29% by adding the fatty acid synthase inhibitor, omeprazole to cabazitaxel. ORR defined by partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) in tumor size and bone metastasis Secondary Objectives (only at patients treated at Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center main campus): * Obtain a prostate specific antigen response rate by adding the fatty acid synthase inhibitor omeprazole to cabazitaxel regimen * Measure pain using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) at Baseline, Cycle 5, Cycle 12, and every cycle thereafter.

Interventions

DRUGOmeprazole 80 mg twice daily

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.

Inclusion criteria

* 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 * Life expectancy of greater than 2 months * Men must agree to use adequate contraception (barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for three (3) months after study treatment discontinuation. * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign an IRB-approved informed consent document (either directly or via a legally authorized representative). * Organ \& marrow function as defined below: Absolute neutrophil count \>1,200/mcL, Platelets \>75,000/mcL; total bilirubin = within normal institutional limits; AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) \<2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal; creatinine \<2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal

Exclusion criteria

* 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.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change Radiographic Response - RECIST 1.1Up to approximately 2 yearsResponse 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).
Change in Bone Metastasis Response - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3)Up to approximately 2 yearsResponse 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).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) ProgressionAt baseline and up to approximately 2 yearsInvestigators 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.
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) ResponseAt baseline and up to approximately 2 yearsInvestigators 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.
Patient Reported Outcome - PainAt baseline, 12 weeks, and Day 1 of every subsequent cycle (each cycle is 28 days) up to approximately 2 yearsParticipants 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.
