neutropenia, diarrhoea and pneumonia. In the mitoxantrone arm, the most common SAEs<br />
were disease progression and pulmonary embolism (Table 14).<br />

Other studies<br />
The incidence of patient deaths in the Phase I/Phase II studies was similar to that in the<br />
pivotal study. Most of the deaths were due to disease progression. There were 4 deaths<br />
due to TEAEs within 30 days of the last dose and 1 from an unknown cause. In the<br />
combination study TCD 6945, 4 deaths occurred during the study due to disease<br />
progression.<br />
Serious adverse events were reported in 28 (31.5%), and 16 (37.2%) patients in the ≤ 25<br />
mg/m 2 and ≥ 25 mg/m 2 groups respectively and in 25 (45.5%) patients in the weekly<br />
group. Febrile neutropenia and diarrhoea were the most common causes of death. In the<br />
combination study, SAEs were reported in 17 patients. There was no pattern to the SAEs.<br />
Discontinuation due to adverse events<br />
Pivotal study<br />
In all 68 patients (18.3%) in the cabazitaxel arm and 31 patients (8.4%) in the<br />
mitoxantrone arm withdrew from the study due to AEs. The most common causes of<br />
discontinuation in the cabazitaxel arm were neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, haematuria,<br />
diarrhoea, fatigue, renal failure and sepsis. One patient discontinued from the study<br />
because of Grade 3 peripheral sensory neuropathy. In the mitoxantrone arm, the most<br />
common causes were asthenia, back pain, pulmonary embolism, cardiotoxicity including a<br />
