KaCrole Higgins was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. “In May 2020, I found a lump in my breast. I cried. By June, it was diagnosed as breast cancer, triple positive, stage 1A. While getting this cancer diagnosis was devastating, it also became an opportunity. Suddenly, the cancer gave me clarity. It gave me clarity about what was important, what was good in my life, what was toxic in my life, and what I needed to do.” Click below to read more of KaCrole’s story

If Landon Ryan had been diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma 10, 20 or 30 years ago, she might not be here today with nearly perfect vision.Thanks to recent improvements in the treatment for this rare form of cancer that almost exclusively affects children under the age of 5, the diagnosis had the power to change Landon’s life when she was 11 months old, but not to take it — or her eyesight.

Active Surveillance, Bleomycin, Etoposide, Carboplatin or Cisplatin in Treating Pediatric and Adult Patients with Germ Cell Tumors

Multiple Cancer Types

This phase III trial studies how well active surveillance help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors for recurrence after their tumor is removed. When the germ cell tumors has spread outside of the organ in which it developed, it is considered metastatic. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, 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. The trial studies whether carboplatin or cisplatin is the preferred chemotherapy to use in treating metastatic standard risk germ cell tumors.

Patients will be registered prior to, during or at the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy
(Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours and Carboplatin AUC 6 IV on Day 1 every 21 days for 3-4
cycles). Registered patients who progress during neoadjuvant chemotherapy will not be
eligible for iCRS and will be removed from the study.

Following completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, interval cytoreductive surgery (iCRS) will
be performed in the usual fashion in both arms. Patients will be randomized at the time of
iCRS (iCRS must achieve no gross residual disease or no disease >1.0 cm in largest diameter)
to receive HIPEC or no HIPEC. Patients randomized to HIPEC (Arm A) will receive a single dose
of cisplatin (100mg/m2 IP over 90 minutes at 42 C) as HIPEC. After postoperative recovery
patients will receive standard post-operative platinum-based combination chemotherapy.
Patients randomized to surgery only (Arm B) will receive postoperative standard chemotherapy
after recovery from surgery.

Both groups will receive an additional 2-3 cycles of platinum-based combination chemotherapy
per institutional standard (Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours and Carboplatin AUC 6 IV on
Day 1 every 21 days for 2-3 cycles) for a maximum total of 6 cycles of chemotherapy
(neoadjuvant plus post-operative cycles) followed by niraparib individualized dosing until
progression or 36 months (if no evidence of disease).
