简要总结

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of arsenic trioxide in treating men who have germ cell cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rate (confirmed complete and partial responses) in men with refractory testicular or extragonadal germ cell malignancies treated with arsenic trioxide.
  • Determine the overall and progression-free survival of patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of this drug in these patients.
  • Assess the biomarker response rate in patients with elevated biomarkers treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 1-2 hours on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 3 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve a confirmed complete or partial response receive up to 3 additional courses past response.

Patients are followed every 2 months for 3 years or until disease progression.

入选标准

  • DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Histologically confirmed testicular or extragonadal germ cell cancer
  • Refractory disease, defined by at least 1 of the following criteria:
  • Disease progression during or within 4 weeks of cisplatin-containing regimen
  • Progression is defined as the appearance of new or progression of known locally advanced or metastatic disease or a rise in tumor markers (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-HCG) or alpha fetoprotein (AFP)) by at least 50% relative to the nadir
  • When the only evidence of germ cell progression or recurrence before study entry is the appearance of a new lesion in the absence of tumor marker elevation, a biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis
  • Disease recurrence after at least 2 chemotherapy regimens, one of which includes high-dose therapy (chemotherapy with stem cell support)
  • Disease recurrence after at least 2 chemotherapy regimens and not eligible for high-dose therapy
  • At least 1 of the following:
  • Unidimensionally measurable disease
  • Soft tissue, irradiated within the past 2 months, is not considered measurable
  • Elevated beta-HCG (more than 20 mIU/mL)
  • AFP greater than 2 times upper limit of normal
  • PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
  • 16 and over

  • Bilirubin less than 2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • SGOT less than 5 times ULN
  • Alkaline phosphatase less than 5 times ULN
  • Creatinine no greater than 2.5 times ULN OR

  • No prolonged QT interval (greater than 450 msec) on ECG in presence of normal potassium and magnesium
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • No active serious infection not controlled by antibiotics
  • No known hypersensitivity to arsenic
  • No other malignancy within the past 5 years except adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or stage I or II disease in complete remission
  • PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
  • Biologic therapy:
  • See Disease Characteristics

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • More than 28 days since prior cytotoxic agents
  • Endocrine therapy:
  • Not specified
