Clinical Trial: Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage II or Stage III Germ Cell Tumors

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: A Risk-Adapted Strategy of the Use of Dose-Dense Chemotherapy in Patients With Poor-Prognosis Disseminated Non-Seminomatous Germ Cell Tumors

Brief Summary:

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy 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.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing two different combination chemotherapy regimens to see how well they work in treating patients with stage II or stage III non-seminomatous germ cell tumors.
