NCT ID: NCT02276430 Active, not recruiting - Testicular Cancer Clinical Trials

TACkLE Study - Tackling Adverse Chemotherapy-associated Late Effects

TACkLE
Start date: July 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Testicular cancer (TC) is a rare disease, which mostly affects young men aged 15-35 years. Their life expectancy has greatly improved due to the introduction of platinum-containing chemotherapy for disseminated TC in the late 1970s. Given the good prognosis of TC nowadays, prevention or early detection of late adverse effects of TC treatment has become increasingly important. Current literature suggests that TC treatment, and specifically exposure to platinum agents, is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The precise role of treatment components like platinum in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic changes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) warrants further investigation, since it is not known if CVD develops through direct platinum-induced damage of the vascular wall or by mediation through development of cardiometabolic riskfactors. The aim of this study is to identify risk factors for development for CVD after treatment for TC. A more profound insight into pathophysiologic mechanisms and identification of risk factors for CVDs is needed to facilitate development of preventive strategies and to optimize survivorship care.

NCT ID: NCT01783145 Active, not recruiting - Testicular Cancer Clinical Trials

Shared Care Follow-up After Chemotherapy for Testicular Cancer

SCFU-TC
Start date: October 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate a shared care survivorship care plan (SCP) to follow-up patients with metastatic testicular cancer after completion of chemotherapy that resulted in complete remission.

NCT ID: NCT01726374 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Stage I Testicular Non-Seminomatous Germ Cell Tumor

Trial of 1 Cycle of Adjuvant BEP Chemotherapy in High Risk, Stage 1 Non-seminomatous Germ Cell Testis Tumours

111
Start date: February 2010
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

High-risk stage 1 NSGCTTs are curable with careful surveillance followed by 3 cycles of BEP (bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin with 500mg/m2 of etoposide per cycle) chemotherapy for the 40-50% of cases experiencing recurrence. Alternatively, adjuvant chemotherapy with 2 cycles of BEP(at a lower dose than that used for advanced disease - etoposide 360mg/m2) for these patients achieves the same outcome and avoids intensive surveillance, but delivers 33% more chemotherapy cycles on a population basis. If a single cycle of BEP at the dose used in advanced disease had a similar high rate of relapse-free survival (cure) to that seen with two lower dose cycles, this would reduce the overall burden of chemotherapy and healthcare resource usage and would be likely to lead to a change in practice globally.

NCT ID: NCT01366144 Active, not recruiting - Melanoma Clinical Trials

Veliparib, Paclitaxel, and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Solid Tumors That Are Metastatic or Cannot Be Removed by Surgery and Liver or Kidney Dysfunction

Start date: June 20, 2011
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery and liver or kidney dysfunction. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, 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 veliparib together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.

NCT ID: NCT01242072 Active, not recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

Intravenous Palifosfamide-tris in Combination With Etoposide and Carboplatin in Patients With Malignancies

Start date: November 2010
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This an an open-label study to define the safety profile and the maximum tolerated dose and confirm the clinical effective dose of palifosfamide-tris given intravenously in combination with etoposide and carboplatin in a wide range of cancers which etoposide and carboplatin are normally given. Once the maximum dose of palifosfamide-tris is determined,a Phase II study using the 3 agents combined will begin.

NCT ID: NCT00638898 Active, not recruiting - Solid Tumor Clinical Trials

Busulfan, Melphalan, Topotecan Hydrochloride, and a Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed or Relapsed Solid Tumor

Start date: February 26, 2007
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Giving high-dose chemotherapy before an autologous stem cell transplant stops the growth of tumor cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, 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. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving busulfan, melphalan, and topotecan hydrochloride together with a stem cell transplant works in treating patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed solid tumor.

NCT ID: NCT00104676 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Testicular Germ Cell Tumor

Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage II or Stage III Germ Cell Tumors

Start date: November 26, 2003
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing two different combination chemotherapy regimens to see how well they work in treating patients with stage II or stage III non-seminomatous germ cell tumors.

NCT ID: NCT00034424 Active, not recruiting - Testicular Cancer Clinical Trials

Cause of Familial Testicular Cancer

Start date: January 13, 2003
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background: People with a family history of testicular cancer may be at increased risk for the disease. Genetic and clinical studies of patients with testicular cancer and their family members may help clarify the cause of the disease and identify clinical features. Objectives: To characterize the clinical features of testicular cancer. To identify genes that may lead to increased risk of the disease. To examine emotional and behavioral issues of members of families at increased risk of the disease. Eligibility: Males and females from a family with at least two cases of testicular cancer in blood relatives. Males with testicular cancer in both testicles. Males with testicular cancer who have an identical twin. Participants must be at least 12 years of age. Design: Participants may take part in Part 1 or Parts 1 and 2 of this 2-part study. Part 1 participants: - Provide a blood or cheek cell sample to obtain DNA for gene studies. - Provide permission for researchers to obtain their medical records for review. - Complete questionnaires about their personal and family medical history, exposure to factors that might influence the risk of testicular cancer, and their feelings about being a member of a family in which several members have testicular cancer. - These data are collected from participants in their home communities. Part 2 participants: - All participants provide a medical history, have a complete physical examination, including routine lab tests, and have an ultrasound test of the abdomen to look at the kidneys. - Males have an ultrasound test of the testicles and scrotum. - Females have an ultrasound test of the pelvis to look at the ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes. - Males 18 years of age and older provide a semen sample. - Some participants have computed tomography (CT) scanning of the chest, abdomen and pelvis instead of kidney ultrasound. Children under 18 years of age may have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) instead of CT. - These data are collected from participants during a 2-day visit to the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. Travel costs are covered by the protocol.
