Abstract: The current invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of cabazitaxel, or a CYP3A inhibitor, for use in a combination treatment in the treatment of cancer in a patient. The combination treatment comprises administering the pharmaceutical composition and the CYP3A inhibitor, and the dose of the CYP3A inhibitor is equivalent to 40 to 120 mg ritonavir. The current invention also relates to method and kit for the combination treatment thereof.

Abstract: Treatments of cancers involve a wide range of treatment. The current invention relates to chemotherapy of tumors using taxanes, in particular docetaxel. More in particular it relates to a method for the treatment of a cancer in a patient comprising orally administering an effective dose of docetaxel, whereby side effects are controlled by preventing peak plasma levels of docetaxel that induce said side effects, whilst maintaining an effective plasma level of docetaxel to eradicate tumor cells.

Abstract: Treatments of cancers involve a wide range of treatment. The current invention relates to chemotherapy of tumors using taxanes, in particular docetaxel. More in particular it relates to achieving efficacious doses of orally administered doses docetaxel whilst maintaining acceptable safety. By providing novel means and methods, combining oral docetaxel with a CYP3A inhibitor, the inventors have established improved treatments of cancer, said methods and means providing for an improved safety profile of docetaxel as compared with the standard of treatment for docetaxel, while at the same time allowing to obtain efficacious levels of docetaxel to eradicate cancer cells.
