Standard-Dose Combination Chemotherapy or High-Dose Combination Chemotherapy and Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Germ Cell Tumors
A Randomized Phase III Trial Comparing Conventional-Dose Chemotherapy Using Paclitaxel, Ifosfamide, and Cisplatin (TIP) with High-Dose Chemotherapy Using Mobilizing Paclitaxel Plus Ifosfamide Followed by High-Dose Carboplatin and Etoposide (TI-CE) As First Salvage Treatment in Relapsed or Refractory Germ Cell Tumors

Brief Summary
This randomized phase III trial studies how well standard-dose combination chemotherapy works compared to high-dose combination chemotherapy and stem cell transplant in treating patients with germ cell tumors that have returned after a period of improvement or did not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, ifosfamide, cisplatin, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim or pegfilgrastim, and certain chemotherapy drugs, helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Chemotherapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether high-dose combination chemotherapy and stem cell transplant are more effective than standard-dose combination chemotherapy in treating patients with refractory or relapsed germ cell tumors.

Study Arms (2)
Arm A: TIP
OTHERPatients will receive treatment for 4 cycles administered every 21 days. Cycles 1-4 (1 cycle = 21 days) * paclitaxel 250 mg/m\^2 IV over 24 hours on Day 1 including premedication as defined in the protocol (eg, dexamethasone, diphenhydramine and H2 blocker) * ifosfamide 1500 mg/m\^2 IV daily on Days 2-5 with mesna protection as defined in the protocol * cisplatin 25 mg/m\^2 IV daily on Days 2-5 * pegylated G-CSF 6 mg subcutaneous on Day 6 or 7 or G-CSF as defined in the protocol on Days 6-18 Patients may commence with each Arm A cycle provided they meet the criteria as defined in the protocol.
Arm B: TI-CE
OTHERPatients will receive treatment for a total of 5 cycles. Cycles 1-2 (1 cycle = 14 days) * paclitaxel 200 mg/m\^2 IV over 3 hours on Day 1 including premedication as defined in the protocol (eg, dexamethasone, diphenhydramine and H2 blocker) * ifosfamide 2000 mg/m\^2 IV daily on Days 1-3 with mesna protection as defined in the protocol * G-CSF 10 µg/kg subcutaneously on Days 3-15 (cycle 1) and Days 3-14 (cycle 2) or pegylated G-CSF 6 mg subcutaneous on Day 4 or 6 (cycle 1) and Day 4 or 5 (cycle 2) * leukapheresis every 14 days, if there is an inadequate number of CD34+ cells/kg collected in cycle 1 Cycles 3-5 (1 cycle = 21 days) * carboplatin daily on Days 1-3 * etoposide 400 mg/m\^2 daily on Days 1-3 * stem cell reinfusion on day 5 * pegylated G-CSF 6 mg subcutaneously or G-CSF at approximately 5 µg/kg daily on Days 5-15 Patients may commence with each Arm B cycle provided they meet the criteria as defined in the protocol.
