Official Title: A Randomized Phase III Study of Paclitaxel, Ifosfamide and Cisplatin Versus Vinblastine, Ifosfamide and Cisplatin as Second-Line Therapy for Patients With Relapsed/Resistant Germ Cell Tumors
Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide, cisplatin, paclitaxel, and vinblastine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether ifosfamide and cisplatin are more effective when combined with paclitaxel or vinblastine in treating germ cell tumors.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin to see how well they work compared to vinblastine, ifosfamide, and cisplatin in treating men with progressive or recurrent metastatic germ cell tumors.
