Extragonadal Germ Cell TumorOvarian Cancer3 more

RATIONALE: 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.

Study of Gemcitabine, Carboplatin and VELIPARIB (ABT-888) in Refractory Testicular Germ Cell Cancer...

Testicular Cancer

This is a proof-of-concept study to define efficacy of gemcitabine, carboplatin and VELIPARIB (ABT-888) in patients with refractory germ cell tumors (GCTs). PARP proteins are involved in base excision repair (BER), one of the major DNA repair system in cells and PARP is overexpressed in testicular GCTs (TGCTs) compared to normal testis and data suggest that PARP overexpression is early event in TGCTs development. Patients with low PARP expression in primary tumour had non-significantly better OS compared to patients with high PARP expression (5-year OS 89.2% vs 78.7%; HR=0.50, 95% CI 0.21 to 1.17, p=0.12). The aim of this study is to evaluate PARP inhibitor VELIPARIB in combination with gemcitabine, carboplatin in patients with refractory germ cell tumors (GCTs).

Oxaliplatin in Treating Young Patients With Recurrent Solid Tumors That Have Not Responded to Previous...

Childhood Central Nervous System Germ Cell TumorChildhood Extragonadal Germ Cell Tumor24 more

This phase II trial is studying how well oxaliplatin works in treating young patients with recurrent solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

High-dose Chemotherapy With Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Poor Prognosis Germ-cell Tumors:...

Testicular Neoplasms

High-dose chemotherapy (HD-CT) is able to circumvent platinum-resistance of resistant/refractory germ-cell tumors (GCTs), but expectancy of cure remains low. New strategies are needed with new drugs and a sequential approach. Patients with relapsed (but not absolutely refractory to Cisplatinum-based chemotherapy) poor-prognosis GCTs are scheduled to receive 2 cycles combining epirubicin and paclitaxel followed by 3 consecutive HD-CT supported by stem cell transplantation. One course will combine Taxol, 360 mg/m² + thiotepa, 720 mg/m², followed by two ICE regimens (Ifosfamide, 12 g/m², carboplatin, AUC 20, etoposide, 1500 mg/m²). This phase II study is designed as a Gehan method. The main objective of the study is the complete response rate. With this aim in view, it is planned to enroll in its first step 14 patients to insure that if no complete response (CR) is noticed, study would be stopped for inefficacy (i.e., a CR rate lower than 20%). If one or more CR are noticed, protocol specified that up to 45 patients will be included in order to reduce the confidence interval (CI) of the CR rate. Secondary objectives are the overall response rate (RR), the overall survival (OS) and the progression-free survival (PFS) rates, toxicity and toxic death rate. The statistical analysis is done in terms of intent-to-treat.

Surgery and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children With Extracranial Germ Cell Tumors

Childhood Embryonal TumorChildhood Extracranial Germ Cell Tumor16 more

This phase III trial is studying surgery followed by combination chemotherapy to see how well it works in treating children with germ cell tumors that are not located in the head. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug, and giving them after surgery, may kill any remaining tumor cells following surgery. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is effective in decreasing the recurrence of childhood germ cell tumors.

Vaccine Therapy With or Without Sargramostim in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer...

Adenocarcinoma of the ColonAdenocarcinoma of the Gallbladder40 more

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy with or without sargramostim in treating patients who have advanced or metastatic cancer. Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as sargramostim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Combining vaccine therapy with sargramostim may make tumor cells more sensitive to the vaccine and may kill more tumor cells

This phase I trial is studying how well ipilimumab works after allogeneic stem cell transplant in treating patients with persistent or progressive cancer. Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

Feasibility Study of Interleukin 1-Alpha With Ifosfamide, CBDCA, and Etoposide With Autologous Bone...

Breast NeoplasmsLymphoma2 more

This is a phase I/II study of interleukin-1, G-CSF and high dose ICE chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplant in patients with relapsed breast, testicular and lymphoid cancers. The initial goal of this study was to define the toxicity of interleukin-1 administered for 7 days prior to ICE chemotherapy. A total of 22 patients have been treated with IL-1 and ICE and results showed a more rapid engraftment (4.5 days) with IL-1. A second cohort of 18 patients also received G-CSF and engraftment was further shortened in some subgroups. Overall, the median time to engraftment was 16 days with both IL-1 and G-CSF. Accrual will continue to further define the toxicity and efficacy of this regimen.

Everolimus in Refractory Testicular Germ Cell Cancer

Germ Cell Tumor

Everolimus in refractory testicular germ cell cancer. Everolimus 10 mg /day/ is administered to the patient until progression, unacceptable toxicity, complete response or inability of the subject to comply with study requirements. Feasibility of surgical resection will be assessed after every 2 cycles of the treatment in patients with partial response.

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.
