简要总结
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which schedule of bleomycin is more effective when given together with etoposide and cisplatin in treating metastatic germ cell cancer of the testicles.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different schedules of bleomycin to compare how well they work when given together with etoposide and cisplatin in treating patients with metastatic germ cell cancer of the testicles.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine if long-infusion schedule of bleomycin is less toxic to the lungs than short-infusion schedule of bleomycin in patients who are undergoing combination chemotherapy comprising bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin for good-prognosis, metastatic germ cell cancer of the testes.
- Determine if early lung function tests are a predictor for late toxicity.
- Determine if any indication of enhanced response to the long-infusion schedule justifies a large-scale phase III evaluation.
- Validate the O'Sullivan et al prognostic scoring system for bleomycin toxicity.
Secondary
- Determine response to treatment.
- Determine progression-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
