High-Dose Chemotherapy and Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Metastatic Germ Cell Tumors That Have Not Responded to First-Line Therapy

NCT01172912

Non-randomizedOpen-labelTreatment

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. An autologous stem cell transplant may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving high-dose chemotherapy together with stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic germ cell tumors that have not responded to first-line therapy.
