A Phase III Study Of Reduced Therapy In The Treatment Of Children With Low And Intermediate Risk Extracranial Germ Cell Tumors
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating conventional surgery, cisplatin, and 3 other interventions for Childhood Embryonal Tumor and 17 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 302 participants across 126 sites in 6 countries.
Detailed Summary
This phase III trial is studying surgery followed by combination chemotherapy to see how well it works in treating children with germ cell tumors that are not located in the head. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug, and giving them after surgery, may kill any remaining tumor cells following surgery. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is effective in decreasing the recurrence of childhood germ cell tumors.
