Maintenance Oral Etoposide or Observation Following High-dose Chemo for GCT
Study Purpose
This is an open label randomized phase II trial of maintenance oral etoposide vs.#46; observation in patinets with relapsed GCT treated with high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and peripheral-blood stem-cell transplant (PBSCT).
Recruitment Criteria
Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.
An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information. 2. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent. 3. Histological or serological evidence of non-seminomatous GCT. 4. Relapsed disease after first-line cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy. 5. Completed salvage treatment with HDCT and PBSCT for 2 tandem cycles per Institutional Guidelines. 6. HDCT must have been used as the initial salvage chemotherapy regimen (2nd line therapy) 6.1. Note: 1 or 2 cycles of standard course regimens prior to HDCT are acceptable (regimens include VeIP [vinblastine+ifosfmaide+cisplatin] or TIP [paclitaxel+ifosfamide+cisplatin] or PVB [cisplatin+vinblastine+bleomycin] 7. Normal or declining tumor markers (AFP and hCG) at time of screening. 8. Adverse events from prior therapy recovered to CTCAE v5.0 grade ≤ 2 at time of registration. 9. Women with ovarian germ cell tumors are eligible. 10. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2 within 28 days of study registration. 11. Last dose of HDCT must be ≤16 weeks from study registration. 12. Adequate organ function lab values obtained within 28 days prior to study registration System Laboratory Value Hematological Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,000 /mcL Platelets ≥100,000 / mcL Hemoglobin ≥8 g/dL Renal Serum creatinine <2mg/dL Hepatic Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN OR Direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels > 1.5 ULN. AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X ULN OR.- - 5 X ULN for subjects with liver metastases Coagulation International Normalized
Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving
anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of
intended use of anticoagulants Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) ≤1.5
X ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is
within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants.
13. Male subjects should agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with the first dose of study therapy through 30 days after last dose of study therapy. 14. If a female of childbearing potential, a negative urine pregnancy test within 28 days prior to receiving the first dose of study drug. o Non-childbearing potential is defined as (by other than medical reasons):- - Post hysterectomy or oophorectomy.
Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. 15. For female patients of childbearing potential and male patients with partners of childbearing potential, agreement (by patient and/or partner) to use two forms of highly effective contraception (i.e., one that results in a low failure rate [< 1% per year] when used consistently and correctly) and to continue its use for 30 days after the last dose of study therapy.Exclusion Criteria:
1. Relapsed pure seminoma. 2. Rising tumor markers (AFP and hCG) at time of screening. 3. Patients who completed 2nd cycle of HDCT (time since last dose of HDCT) >16 weeks ago. 4. Treatment with any investigational agent within 28 days prior to study registration. 5. Other active malignancy requiring treatment in past 12 months. 6. History of psychiatric illness or social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. 7. Active infection requiring systemic therapy. 8. Previous hypersensitivity to etoposide which did not recover with supportive care. 9. Pregnancy, lactation, or breastfeeding. 10. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.Trial Details
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.
Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.
Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.
Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
The sponsor is the organization or person who oversees the clinical study and is responsible for analyzing the study data.
The person who is responsible for the scientific and technical direction of the entire clinical study.
Category of organization(s) involved as sponsor (and collaborator) supporting the trial.
The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied.
This is a randomized phase 2 trial of maintenance etoposide versus observation following HDCT+PBSCT for relapsed GCT. Patients who completed HDCT+PBSCT within the past 16 weeks will enroll and randomize in 1:1 fashion to maintenance daily oral etoposide 50mg vs.#46; observation only.
Arms
Experimental: Maintenance Oral Etoposide
Maintenance daily oral Etoposide.
No Intervention: Observation
If randomized to Observation, subjects will jump to follow-up.
Interventions
Drug: - Etoposide
etoposide will be provided with prescription for etoposide 50mg orally daily for 21 days out of 28 day cycles. Cycles will be repeated every 4 weeks for a total of 3 cycles.
