My dad has been invited to go on a new trial, which means leaving Zytiga/Abiraterone and trying this.  

Anyone heard of it ? 

It has to do with tolerance and fewer side effects between Cabazitaxel ( jetvana ) with a 25mg/ vs 20mg/ dose by intravenous route.

If the Zytiga is working and still effective I would stick with it. Proselica is a chemo therapy and usually it's effect are not as long lasting than the Zytiga. The Proselica is given with predisone which is a steroid.
