About this study

Official title: Non-randomized, Phase II, Open-label Study for Efficacy and Safety of Consolidation Paclitaxel/Ifosfamide/Cisplatin (TIP) Chemotherapy for High Risk Pediatric Germ Cell Tumor

Germ cell tumor has generally good prognosis, but high risk germ cell tumor has still very poor prognosis. There remains the need of further improvement with other chemotherapy strategy. Especially more than 11 years old, mediastinal germ cell tumor, stage 3 or 4 extragonodal germ cell tumor or the remained tumor after the primary treatment are the group with the poorest prognosis.

Paclitaxel is widely used chemotherapeutic agent in adults and the experience of the agent has also been accumulated in children. The paclitaxel, ifosfamide, cisplatin (TIP) regimen has been used 2nd-line treatment for germ cell tumor and there is some promising result of the role of TIP in first line germ cell tumor treatment. In high risk pediatric germ cell tumor patients, TIP regimen will be able to reduce lung toxicity from the bleomycin as the standard regimen and to improve the survival. In this trial, the efficacy and safety of TIP as the first line treatment for germ cell tumor will be elucidated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TIP treatment (paclitaxel/ifosfamide/cisplatin) in people with Pediatric Germ Cell Tumor, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 23 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jung Woo Han (82-2-2228-2050, JWHAN@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete Response Rate (time frame: 12weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jul 2022.
