Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Male Patients With Germ Cell Tumors

Extragonadal Germ Cell TumorTeratoma1 more

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, vincristine, bleomycin, carboplatin, and etoposide phosphate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating germ cell tumors. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying two different combination chemotherapy regimens to compare how well they work in treating male patients with germ cell tumors.

Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Metastatic Germ Cell Tumors That Have Not Responded to Cisplatin...

Ovarian CancerTesticular Germ Cell Tumor

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of temozolomide in treating patients who have metastatic germ cell tumors that have not responded to cisplatin.

Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Bone Marrow or Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Men...

Childhood Germ Cell TumorExtragonadal Germ Cell Tumor1 more

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not known whether combining chemotherapy with bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation is more effective than combination chemotherapy alone in treating men with germ cell tumors. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with or without bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating men with previously untreated germ cell tumors.

Study of Testosterone vs Placebo in Testicular Cancer Survivors

Metabolic SyndromeTesticular Cancer1 more

The overall purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of 12 months testosterone replacement therapy in testicular cancer survivors with mild Leydig Cell Insufficiency in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The primary study objective is to evaluate changes in insulin sensitivity. The secondary study objective is to evaluate changes in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, body composition, systemic inflammation and symptoms of testosterone deficiency.

Conventional Dose Versus High Dose Sequential Chemotherapy for Poor Prognosis Germ Cell Tumors

Testicular NeoplasmsGerm Cell Tumors

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of a sequential high dose chemotherapy is more effective than conventional dose (i.e. 4 cycles of cisplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin [PEB]) in patients with metastatic poor prognosis germ cell tumors.

Alvocidib and Oxaliplatin With or Without Fluorouracil and Leucovorin Calcium in Treating Patients...

Recurrent Extragonadal SeminomaRecurrent Malignant Extragonadal Germ Cell Tumor7 more

This phase II trial is studying alvocidib and oxaliplatin to see how well they work when given with or without fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium in treating patients with relapsed or refractory germ cell tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as alvocidib, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin calcium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving alvocidib together with oxaliplatin with or without fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium may kill more tumor cells.

Phase II Trial of Stereotactic Radiosurgery Boost Following Surgical Resection for Brain Metastases...

Brain MetastasisBladder Cancer11 more

For patients who have one or two metastases in the brain, the tumor(s) can often be removed with surgery to relieve symptoms from the tumor(s) and to improve survival. However, about half of all patients who have the tumor(s) removed with surgery will develop regrowth (recurrence) of the tumor. To prevent this regrowth of tumor, some patients receive radiation to the entire brain (whole brain radiation) after surgery. This involves daily treatment for about two to three weeks, and may cause long-term neurological problems, such as memory loss. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is sometimes used instead of surgery to treat brain metastasis. This involves the use of a special head frame and sophisticated computer programs that enable us to deliver a high dose of radiation to a small focused area of the brain in only one treatment. Research has shown that the results of treatment with SRS are as good as surgical removal of the tumor. SRS and surgical resection are considered the standard options for the treatment of brain metastases. This Phase II clinical trial is studying the combination of these two techniques. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of SRS following surgical removal of brain metastases. The outcomes we will be looking at are tumor regrowth after treatment and side effects of treatment.

Avelumab in Refractory Testicular Germ Cell Cancer.

Testicular NeoplasmsNeoplasms6 more

This is a proof-of-concept study to define efficacy of AVELUMAB in patients with multiple relapsed/refractory germ cell tumors (GCTs). Data suggest that PD-L1 is overexpressed in TGCTs, and PD-L1 expression is significantly higher in GCTs in comparison to normal testicular tissue.Patients with low PD-L1 expression had significantly better progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.40, 95% CI (0.16 - 1.01, p = 0.008) and overall survival (HR = 0.43, 95% CI (0.15 - 1.23, p = 0.040) compared to patients with high PD-L1 expression. These data suggest that PD-1/PD-L1 pathway could be a novel therapeutic target in TGCTs and that there is strong rationale to inhibit PD-1/PD-L1 signaling in GCTs.

Everolimus for Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Germ Cell Cancer

Testicular CancerGerm Cell Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the drug everolimus is effective in the treatment of patients with relapsed cancer of the testis. This is a phase II study where all patients will receive the study drug (everolimus 10 mg daily). The primary endpoint of the study is the rate of patients that have no progressive disease after 12 weeks of treatment. Twenty-five evaluable patients will be treated in this study.

Phase II Trial of the Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor PD 0332991 in Patients With Cancer

Adult Solid TumorAdenocarcinoma of the Colon37 more

RATIONALE: PD 0332991 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well PD 0332991 works in treating patients with refractory solid tumors.
