Palifosfamide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Germ Cell Tumors
Adult Central Nervous System Germ Cell TumorAdult Teratoma8 moreThis phase II trial studies how well palifosfamide works in treating patients with recurrent germ cell tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as palifosfamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing
Shared Care Follow-up After Chemotherapy for Testicular Cancer
Testicular CancerThe aim of this study is to develop and evaluate a shared care survivorship care plan (SCP) to follow-up patients with metastatic testicular cancer after completion of chemotherapy that resulted in complete remission.
TACkLE Study - Tackling Adverse Chemotherapy-associated Late Effects
Testicular CancerTesticular cancer (TC) is a rare disease, which mostly affects young men aged 15-35 years. Their life expectancy has greatly improved due to the introduction of platinum-containing chemotherapy for disseminated TC in the late 1970s. Given the good prognosis of TC nowadays, prevention or early detection of late adverse effects of TC treatment has become increasingly important. Current literature suggests that TC treatment, and specifically exposure to platinum agents, is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The precise role of treatment components like platinum in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic changes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) warrants further investigation, since it is not known if CVD develops through direct platinum-induced damage of the vascular wall or by mediation through development of cardiometabolic riskfactors. The aim of this study is to identify risk factors for development for CVD after treatment for TC. A more profound insight into pathophysiologic mechanisms and identification of risk factors for CVDs is needed to facilitate development of preventive strategies and to optimize survivorship care.
Study of the Hypomethylating Drug Guadecitabine (SGI-110) Plus Cisplatin in Relapsed Refractory...
Germ Cell TumorTestis Cancer1 moreThis is an open-label, single arm, Phase I dose escalation study in subjects with refractory germ cell tumor (rGCT). This phase I will evaluate the safety and efficacy of SGI-110 in combination with cisplatin in subjects with rGCT. The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SGI-110 to be used prior to cisplatin. A total of 15 subjects will be enrolled in this study at the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center.
Safety and Immune Response to a Multi-component Immune Based Therapy (MKC1106-PP) for Patients With...
OvarianMelanoma22 moreThe present clinical trial is a dose comparison of a multi-component active immunotherapy designed to stimulate an immune reaction to specific tumor associated antigens which are highly expressed on a large number of solid cancers.
Prolonged or Standard Infusion of Cefepime Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Febrile Neutropenia...
Adult Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaAdult Acute Myeloid Leukemia38 moreThis randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well giving prolonged infusion compared to standard infusion of cefepime hydrochloride works in treating patients with febrile neutropenia. Giving cefepime hydrochloride over a longer period of time may be more effective than giving cefepime hydrochloride over the standard time.
Ixabepilone in Treating Patients With Advanced Cisplatin-Refractory Germ Cell Tumors
Brain and Central Nervous System TumorsExtragonadal Germ Cell Tumor2 moreRATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well ixabepilone works in treating patients with metastatic germ cell tumors that are refractory to cisplatin.
Carboplatin, Etoposide, Cyclophosphamide, and Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation in Patients...
Extragonadal Germ Cell TumorOvarian Cancer3 moreRATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation may help the body kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effects of high doses of carboplatin, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation in patients with relapsed or refractory germ cell cancer and other chemotherapy-sensitive solid tumors.
Paclitaxel Plus Gemcitabine in Treating Patients With Refractory Metastatic Germ Cell Tumors
Ovarian CancerTesticular Germ Cell TumorRATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel plus gemcitabine in treating patients with refractory metastatic germ cell tumors that have not responded to surgery or chemotherapy.
Interleukin-12 and Trastuzumab in Treating Patients With Cancer That Has High Levels of HER2/Neu...
Advanced Adult Primary Liver CancerAnaplastic Thyroid Cancer125 moreInterleukin-12 may kill tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by stimulating a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-12 and trastuzumab in treating patients who have cancer that has high levels of HER2/neu and has not responded to previous therapy
