Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing them or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy with a peripheral stem cell transplant may allow more chemotherapy to be given so that more tumor cells are killed. The design of this trial is a phase I/II trial of sequential accelerated chemotherapy cycles with taxol/ifosfamide and carboplatin/etoposide administered with G-CSF and PBSC support. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of an intensive sequence of chemotherapy drugs in patients with metastatic germ cell cancer. All of these chemotherapy drugs are known to be active in this disease.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Overall Objective Response
Overall Objective Response will be assessed prior to dose-intensive therapy and at the completion of therapy. Complete disappearance of all clinical, radiographic and biochemical (normal AFP and HCG) evidence of disease for a minimum of 4 weeks (CR to chemotherapy). Patients must be free of disease for a minimum of 4 weeks. Partial Response: Complete disappearance of all biochemical evidence of disease in patients without a surgical procedure for a residual radiographic mass. Patients must demonstrate no biochemical recurrence or progression of radiographic masses for a minimum of four weeks (PR to chemotherapy}

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male/Female with histologically confirmed GCT with review by the Department of Pathology at this center.
- Patients with advanced GCT, including patients with:
- measurable or evaluable disease,
- patients with only elevated serum tumor markers (AFP and/or HCG), or
- patients with known residual disease after postchemotherapy surgery. Eligible patients must have established clinical resistance to cisplatin by their failure to achieve a durable CR to a cisplatin-based regimen.
- Prior treatment limited to ≤ 6 prior cycles (≤ four cycles preferred) of cisplatin. (GROUP A)
- Prior therapy \> 6 cycles of cisplatin. (GROUP B)
- Therapy must have been discontinued at least 3 weeks before entry onto protocol.
- Patients must have one or more unfavorable prognostic factors for achieving a CR to cisplatin-based salvage therapy. These are:
- Extragonadal primary site.
- Testis/ovarian primary site with the best response of an IR to first-line therapy, or a partial response with normal tumor markers of six months or less in duration.
- Prior treatment with ifosfamide-containing therapy
- General medical condition sufficient to allow for general anesthesia at the time of pheresis catheter placement.
- Patients must have negative serology for Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
- Laboratory criteria for protocol entry:
- +4 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Presence of active infection
- Concurrent treatment with chemotherapy or
- Inability to comply with the treatment protocol or to undergo the specified follow-up tests for safety or effectiveness.
- Prior high-dose therapy with AuBMT.
- Patients must have recovered from recent surgery.
