Trial Information

A Pilot Study Measuring Acute Changes in Endothelial Function in Germ Cell Tumor Patients Treated With Cisplatin and Untreated Germ Cell Tumor Controls


Inclusion Criteria:



Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy Group

- Histologically-proven diagnosis of GCT

- Male

- Age ≥18

- No prior exposure to chemotherapy or radiation

- Planned to receive 3-4 cycles of cisplatin-based chemotherapy

Surgery-Only Group

- Histologically-proven diagnosis of GCT Male

- Age ≥18

- Surgical management of GCT performed less than 90 days before start of study
(includes orchiectomy and primary retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND))

- No prior exposure to chemotherapy or radiation

Exclusion Criteria:

Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy Group

- Prior exposure to chemotherapy or radiation

- Known diagnosis or history of being diagnosed with vasculitis, autonomic dysfunction,
coronary artery disease, or collagen-vascular disease

Surgery-Only Group

- Prior exposure to chemotherapy or radiation

- Planned for non-surgical management with chemotherapy or radiation.

- Known diagnosis or history of being diagnosed with vasculitis, autonomic dysfunction,
coronary artery disease, or collagen-vascular disease.

Type of Study:

Observational

Study Design:

Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Retrospective

Outcome Measure:

Measure the endothelial reactivity (PAT-RH) in both groups

Outcome Description:

The Endo-PAT quantifies the endothelium-mediated changes in vascular tone, elicited by a 5-minute occlusion of the brachial artery (using a standard BP cuff).

Outcome Time Frame:

15 minutes

Safety Issue:

No
