Pembrolizumab, Carboplatin and Cabazitaxel in Aggressive Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (PEAPOD_FOS)

Aggressive variant prostate cancer is a clinically defined subset of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancers characterized by the absence of response to AR targeted agents and neuroendocrine features. The treatments that are currently available are not effective and represent an unmet clinical need. This subgroup has been molecularly characterized and associate loss of key tumor suppressors, including TP53, PTEN and RB, and neuroendocrine features. Carboplatin and cabazitaxel have demonstrated promising activity in this scenario although virtually all patients succumb to the disease. Pembrolizumab has demonstrated activity in neuroendocrine tumors. In this trial will be evaluated the activity and safety of pembrolizumab in combination with the most active chemotherapy regiment available to date in aggressive variant prostate cancer, carboplatin plus cabazitaxel
